Today
Yuko Yamaguchi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
見つめながら
泣いた事はない
好きなあの人想いながら
電話の前に座り
溜息をついた事はない
他人の幸せなニュースを 羨ましく
思った事はない uh～
酔いつぶれて眠った事はない
どんな時も自分の足で
歩き続けた 誇りを持って
登り下る坂は
何処まで続いているのかな......
明日を数え眠れなくて 星占い
頼った事はない
悲しみにたどり着いた時
もう一度あの日に
戻りたいなんて思った事はない
真夜中ふと目が覚めた時
過去(きのう)の恋を
思い出す事はない
でも時の強がりだけで
くやしさ隠して
夕日の海に 心は叫んでいる
雨の日には傘を開いて
雲のきれ間を 待ち続けよう
愛も恋も夢も
見つからない日が多いね
どんな時も自分の足で
歩き続けた 誇りを持って
登り下る坂を
これからも歩き続けよう
目の前を～歩き続ける
だけどいつか淋しい夜は
あなたの胸で 泣いていいですか
明日へ向かう道に～
これからも歩き続けるように...
The song "Today" by Yuko Yamaguchi hints at a person who, while staring at the clock hands in their lonely room, never shed a tear but rather thoughts of their beloved one. They couldn't bring themselves to sigh while sitting in front of the phone, and never felt jealous of others' happiness. Even when drunk, they've never gone to sleep without revealing their true selves. However, they walked with pride on their own feet through happy and tough times, and never counted the days until tomorrow relying solely on the stars.
The song also reflects on how this person never wanted to go back to the past, even when gripped in sadness, and instead chose to conceal their anguish. They wanted to continue to walk down the path of life with their own feet, even when love, dreams, or desires were not attainable. Instead of turning back, wanting to cry alone in someone's arms someday was the only consolation they sought while going forward. With this in mind, they continued to walk towards tomorrow's uncertain path.
