歓びの種
YUKI Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

逆さまに見てた冷たい空
泣いて赤くなる街を見下ろした
風に流されて体ゆだね
笑いとばす意外にタフ
旅は続くんだ
青い首飾りをほらあげるよ
毒入りのりんごを食べてしまえば
ステージの上から落ちちゃうわ

結びなおしてね
見逃してしまう歓びの種を
暖かい大地で育てましょう
流されてしまう力尽きてしまう
大きな何かに動かされている

憧れの夢を魔法の歌を私は
いつでも観ていられるから
あの人を誘ってどこへ行こう
未来を射す明日へ渡す
手紙をかくよ
間違いだらけと判っていても
2人は進んでいく
つまりそれは
恐れずに幸せになる
切符を手にしている
陽だまりのにおい雨上がりの空
与えられたのなら受けとめよう
しかられてみよう愛されてみよう
心の底から信じてみよう

少し照れて笑う君が見えるよ

陽は昇り沈む燃えて茜色
命の音色に耳を澄まして
実らせてみようこの歓びの種を
愛という水を注ぎましょう
陽だまりのにおい雨上がりの空
与えられたのなら受けとめよう

見逃してしまう歓びの種を
暖かい大地で育てましょう

Overall Meaning

The song "歓びの種" or "Seeds of Joy" by YUKI opens with a depiction of a cold and lonely sky that the singer had seen upside down, while the city below us cried and turned red with emotion. The singer is vulnerable to the point of being swept away by the wind but somehow seems to have a tough exterior that she uses to laugh off her situation. She seems to have embarked on a journey that has no end, and she offers a blue necklace as a gift, warning that if you eat a poisoned apple, you will fall off the stage. The singer implores the listeners to take care of the "seeds of joy" and cultivate them on the warm ground. She doesn't want them to go astray and be wasted in vain but rather wants people to believe in them from the bottom of their hearts.

The second verse seems to suggest that the singer knows her dreams and the magic of her songs have the power to take her places, but she needs someone by her side. She wants to write a letter and convince someone to join her on a journey into the future illuminated by the light of tomorrow. She is willing to face criticism and be loved in turn as long as people believe in themselves and their own happiness. The singer reminds us that we hold the tickets to our success, and the smell of the sun and rain and the colors of sunset signify the process of growth that brings forth the seeds of joy.
