Takamachi Walk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
こころ が こうりついた まま で
すがりついた みらいぞう が
くだけちる の を みた
Why do I try if I know that I
I'm putting my head and my heart on the line?
What if I never tried to chase the light?
If I never hoped for anything at all
Maybe I'd be happier on my own
きみ を うつす いf の あめ
きれい な ほど いたい から
じぶん ' が こわした の に
いまだ すてられない
つぎはぎ の えがお で さ
うそ の なか に ろうじょう したい
If I hoped for nothing at all
Maybe I'd be happy alone
Why did I ever try keeping it alive?
Falling in love with a lie
If I never asked for anything at all
Maybe I'd be happier on my own
きみ を うつす いf の あめ
きれい な ほど いたい から
No
とざされた せかい に
きぼう が なく ひとり で
げん ' そう の あい わ みたせない
この ゆめ を でよう
If I never asked for anything at all
Maybe I'd be happier on my own
きみ を うつす いf の あめ
きれい な ほど いたい から
The lyrics to Takamachi Walk's "Reflections" express the internal conflict and struggle of the singer as they contemplate their relationship. The song opens with the singer describing their heart as being "fixed" while observing the future they had held onto crumble before their eyes. They question their own motivations, wondering why they continue to put their heart on the line and chase after something they may not be able to attain. The singer feels trapped in the eyes of their partner, unable to escape the emotions they feel.
The chorus of the song continues the theme of questioning, with the singer exploring what would happen if they never hoped for anything at all. They suggest that maybe being alone would bring more happiness than the heartache they are currently experiencing. The final verse repeats this idea but also acknowledges the importance of hope, even if it leads to a broken heart. The singer refuses to give up on their dreams and decides to keep chasing them, even if it hurts.
Overall, the song captures the emotions that come with a difficult relationship, including hope, heartbreak, and self-doubt. It encourages listeners to keep pursuing their dreams even if it leads to pain, acknowledging that hope may be worth the cost.

あざやか な ゆうやけ に
In the vivid sunset glow
こころ が こうりついた まま で
I keep my emotions restrained
すがりついた みらいぞう が
I cling to an imagined future
くだけちる の を みた
And watched it crumble away
Why do I try if I know that I
Questioning the point of trying
I'm putting my head and my heart on the line?
When I know it could end in failure
What if I never tried to chase the light?
Wondering how things would be if I hadn't tried
Forever, I'm trapped in your eyes
Realizing that I am stuck in this situation
If I never hoped for anything at all
Considering the possibility of avoiding disappointment
Maybe I'd be happier on my own
Thinking that solitude could bring more happiness
きみ を うつす いf の あめ
I want to reflect you in a rainy evening
きれい な ほど いたい から
Because you are so beautiful to me
じぶん ' が こわした の に
Even though I was the one who broke it
いまだ すてられない
I still can't let go
つぎはぎ の えがお で さ
Putting on a patched up smile
うそ の なか に ろうじょう したい
I want to keep lying to myself
Why did I ever try keeping it alive?
Wondering if the effort was worth it
Falling in love with a lie
Feeling deceived by love
とざされた せかい に
In this closed-off world
きぼう が なく ひとり で
I am alone and without hope
げん ' そう の あい わ みたせない
I can't satisfy this simple desire
この ゆめ を でよう
So I will pursue this dream
No
Attestation
If I never asked for anything at all
Questioning what it would take to find happiness
きみ を うつす いf の あめ
I want to reflect you in a rainy evening
きれい な ほど いたい から
Because you are so beautiful to me
