Tsuki no sabaku ni shizunde iku ao wo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Keeno's "Longing" describe a sense of longing and pain felt by the singer as they watch the blue of the moon sink into the desert. Despite reaching out, they cannot touch it and have always known they couldn't. Their heart aches and they feel like they might explode with sorrow. They want to reach out and touch the shining day, to close it in their hand and hold it close. And yet, as they try to approach, it eludes them. They ask for someone out there to teach them what color the world is, implying that they are lost or have never seen/experienced the world beyond their sadness.


As the song continues, the singer expresses the desire to be touched by the transparent wind, sensing the reverberations of a melody played by a blue star. They ask that the melody be sung louder, taking them away to a peaceful place where they can gently feel the tiniest warmth. They want to be touched by this warmth, much like they want to be touched by the blue star's pure sound. They feel like they might break, but the rhythm will break the darkness and bring them to a light that envelops them.


The lyrics of "Longing" are a mix of melancholy and hope, portraying a person who is longing for connection and comfort but cannot find them on their own. They are searching for someone to take them away from their pain and give them a new perspective, to teach them the complexities and beauties of the world beyond their suffering.
