Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

言葉にできぬ想い　音にのせ
飛ばした巨人たちに　導かれ
ここへ来た　ともにゆく
心を探し　見渡せば
疲れ果て　すべて消えていた
失くしてた　僕の歌
真実を知らなくても良かった
失くした　歌たちにさようならを

また出会うメロディーと

ともにゆく

The "giant" in the song could refer to either a physical being or an emotion that is larger than life. The giant could be leading the singer on a journey of self-discovery or transformation.

As the song continues, the singer reflects on their journey and how they have found themselves surrounded by people who are also searching for their inner selves. Despite feeling exhausted, the singer has been able to find their lost song, which they had been unable to sing until this moment. The singer acknowledges that they are now ready to bid farewell to the songs they had lost in the past and move forward with a new melody towards a brighter future.
