サンセットマン
eastern youth Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "サンセットマン" (Sunset Man) by the Japanese rock band eastern youth. The song speaks about facing sadness and the struggles of life while maintaining resilience and hope. It implores listeners not to be ashamed of their overflowing sadness and to not let their uncontrollable tears bring them down in the face of those who mock them with fake laughter. The lyrics describe the overwhelming feelings of anxiety, frustration, and anger that one tumbles down into, unable to crawl out of. The fake smiles we put on only serve to make our hearts grow colder.

The song also touches upon the uncertainty of the future, where the sunset silently reveals the path that continues onto tomorrow. Despite not being able to see the way forward or heal our wounds, the trembling wind is something we can perceive, reminding us that there is still life and movement around us. The lyrics suggest that what we see and feel in our hearts is often more important than what our eyes can visually perceive. The song also emphasizes the beauty in finding solace in small things, like seeing a daytime moon or perceiving the drifting poetry in our wanderings. It urges listeners to hold onto their sadness and tears, never forget the blurry sunset, and not let go of the healing they bring.
