Time
mitsume Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

時の流れにめげそうな日はなぜか
悪くないことも起きそうに思えた

あの頃からは遠すぎて 季節にいるのなら

思いがけずに変わりゆきこの街で
つなぎとめたい物ばかり増えるのは
今よりひどく危うげな 姿に映るから

大人になるまでに なくしてきた言葉を
わざと口にすれば飛び立てない心に吹く風捕まえて

誰のためにも回すに諦めた
世界はいつも両手をすり抜けて

少しは君に知らせたい どこかで会えるなら

大人になるまでに なくしてきた言葉を




わざと口にすれば飛び立てない心に吹く風探して
今すぐに 捕まえて

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to mitsume's song "Time" reflect on the passing of time and the changes that come with it. The opening lines, "On days when I feel overwhelmed by the passage of time / Even the seemingly bad things seem like they may happen," capture the feeling of uncertainty and questioning that can arise with the passing of days. It suggests that even though time may bring challenges or difficulties, there is still a sense of hope and the possibility of positive outcomes.


The next lines, "If those days are too far away / If you are in this season," depict a sense of distance and longing for a past time or place. It highlights the idea that as time goes on, we can feel disconnected from our past selves or memories, longing for a connection in the present. The lyrics continue to explore the idea of unexpected changes and the desire to hold onto things, stating, "In this city, unexpected changes occur / Only the things I want to hold onto keep increasing / Because they appear more vulnerable than they are now."


The following lines, "If I intentionally speak the words I have lost until I become an adult / I can catch the wind that blows into my heart and can't take off," suggest a longing to recapture a sense of innocence or freedom that was lost with adulthood. It implies that by reconnecting with the lost words or feelings of youth, one can find a sense of renewed passion or inspiration. The lyrics also touch upon the idea of resignation, stating, "I gave up turning for anyone / The world always slips through both hands." This implies a sense of acceptance that not everything can be controlled or held onto permanently.


Another desire to connect or reunite with someone is expressed in the lines, "If I can meet you somewhere / I want to let you know, even just a little bit." It reflects a longing for a reunion or chance encounter, suggesting that even a brief connection would be meaningful. The lyrics conclude by reaffirming the desire to catch the wind and hold onto it immediately, highlighting a sense of urgency and the longing for a tangible grasp on fleeting moments.
