羽
betcover!! Lyrics

The lyrics of 羽 by betcover!! describe a person who is waking up on a bus heading towards the city. The person contemplates the meaning of their existence and how they must support the blurry ceiling of the bus. They note that the sun outside the bus has a similar expression to their own, and the wind seems to speak to them. The person wishes to forget their sadness through conversation with the wind and its followers.

The lyrics then take a turn when the person remembers that they have sacrificed their own wings and are now lying about it. They feel the wind and reminisce about a wind they saw at the boundary of their wings, which healed the soldiers of summer. However, the person now finds themselves encountering another version of themselves.

The person bids to give everything they have to someone they formerly wanted everything from. They repeat the wish for forgetting the sadness through the wind's conversation and giving everything to the person who took everything from them. The lyrics end with the person admiring the view outside the window from a sports car that cuts through the wind.

Interestingly, 羽, which translates to "wings," has a tight connection to the concept of "falling" in Japanese as many commonly known Japanese legends revolve around an individual losing their wings and falling, i.e., Tenshi Kinryouku. Additionally, the song signifies the concept of a journey, as the narrative revolves around the bus ride and the final transition to the sports car. The song also contains contrasting elements of the feeling of being trapped, i.e., the bus's blurry ceiling, and freedom- the wind, and the sports car. Another interesting fact is that the song was released in 2015 and was the fifth song of betcover!!'s album 「Salve～ジブンセカイ～」.
