Inori
THE ALFEE Lyrics

The lyrics of THE ALFEE's song "祈り" (Inori) convey a sense of questioning and uncertainty in the face of a dark and troubled time. The singer asks for whom they are singing and why they are wandering aimlessly. They express fear and tremble at the shadows that creep into their heart. In the midst of enduring the darkness of the night, they seek courage, hoping to give light to love and protect their dreams even in this ominous era where even hearts turn black. The central theme revolves around whether there is enough strength to connect dreams and light in the face of the impending end of the world.

The lyrics reflect a deep yearning for unity and peace. They contain elements of spirituality and the power of prayer. The singer calls upon everyone to come together and share a single thought, sending their prayers and intentions into the devastated city as a requiem to honor those lost. The overall message is a plea for hope, to find the strength to connect dreams and ideals, and to create a world where love and unity prevail, even in the face of darkness and uncertainty.
