Here
Yoko Kanno f. Maaya Sakamoto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here, people look for heaven
Livin' in a fear of God
Losing themselves,hiding
forever
Afraid of what they're not
She spent her whole life
Chasing stardust
And then
when she could taste it
A million dollars of pride
And still unhappy
So sad, she couldn't feel,
she couldn't feel
I know the story
So sad, she couldn't feel,
she couldn't feel
I know the score
Here I am,
I've walked a promise
But it can take so long
Here I am,
I've walked the shadows
It's time that I move on
With myself,
I share the silence
I just walk along
Walk along

Here, people hide in darkness
Watchin' their shadows grow
Tears of gold or nothing
matters
Selling themselves out short
Take diamonds
for hope and fame for caring
The things she couldn't give up
She blows out the candle
of love
And loses her way out
So mad, she couldn't see,
she couldn't see
I know the story
So mad, she couldn't see,
she couldn't see
I know the score
Here I am,
I've walked a promise
But it can take so long
Here I am,
I've walked the shadows
It's time that I move on
With myself,
I share the silence
I just walk along
I walk along

People
here choose not to listen
Afraid of what they might hear
Believing in
lies and contradiction
Can be so safe and warm
And so many people
tried to tell her
You know she wouldn't listen
A million voices called out
She just walked away
So loud, she couldn't hear,
she couldn't hear
I know the story
So loud, she wouldn't hear,
she wouldn't hear
I know the score
Here I am,
I've walked a promise
But it can take so long
Here I am,
I've walked the shadows
It's time that I move on
With myself,
I share the silence




I just walk along
I walk along

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Here" by Yoko Kanno featuring Maaya Sakamoto are a reflection on how society can be afraid of what it does not know, the consequences of losing oneself, and the need to move on from it. In the first verse, the song presents how people look for heaven and live in fear of God, possibly referring to religious beliefs. However, people still lose themselves and hide, out of fear of the unknown. The second part continues with the story of a woman who spent her whole life chasing stardust and tasting the sweetness of success but still feeling unhappy. The lyrics imply that people are full of contradictions, and sometimes it is hard to find happiness despite gaining wealth and fame.


The song encourages the listener to move past their fears and shadows, to find themselves anew, and share the silence with self. The artist emphasizes that one must walk on, no matter how long it takes or how short they sell themselves out for hope or fame. The song's lyrics suggest that it is easy to lose oneself in the journey and get trapped in the cycle of hope and despair. Yet, the only constant is oneself and the need to keep moving forward in the journey of self-discovery.

Loop
ねぇこの街が夕闇に染まるときは
世界のどこかで朝日がさす
君の手の中 その花が枯れるときは
小さな種を落とすだろう
踏み固められた土を道だと呼ぶのならば
目を閉じることでも愛かなぁ?
この星が平なら2人出逢えてなかった
お互いを遠ざけるように走っていった
スピードを緩めずに
今はどんなに離れても
廻る奇跡の途中にまた向かい合うのだろう
ねぇこの街の夕闇が去りゆくときに
この涙 連れてって
語りかけてくる文字を小説と呼ぶのなら
とどかない言葉は夢かなぁ?
澱みなく流れてく河に並べた木の葉で
海を目指して雲になって雨で降ろう
遠い君の近くで落ちた種を育てよう
違う場所で君が気づいてくれるといいんだけど
この星が絶え間なく回り続けているから
小さく開けた窓の外 景色を変え
私の愛した花 そっと芽生える季節で
廻る奇跡のその果て また向かい合うのだろう
向かい合うのだろう
くるるまわるくるくると
くるくるきみのまわりを
