Scene of a Girl
toddle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

腕を引かれ走る道に　色彩は無い
ユウツ蹴って　そのブーツで
踊る君に頬染める
悲しみなら置いてきた
青いカーテンの窓
前を向いた横顔の
曲線が空に伸びる
スカートが舞う風に

色彩も花に咲く

目を覚ませば靴もはかず
裸足で駆ける
前を向いた横顔の
曲線が空を染める
微笑みが風に触れる
白黒に色をつけて

スカートが舞う風に
色彩も花に咲く

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Scene of a Girl" by toddle describe a girl running down a colorless road with someone pulling her arm. She kicks off her shoes and starts dancing, blushing in the cheek. She's left behind her sadness and faces the blue curtain window with a new attitude. Her face, now looking forward and sideways, creates curved lines that extend into the sky, and her skirt flutters in the wind, bringing color and flowers to the surroundings.

Suddenly, when she opens her eyes, she finds herself barefoot and running. But her face is still held high, and the curve of her smile colors the sky. The wind touches her smile and brings it to life. Now, her skirt is dancing in the wind, bringing color and flowers to everything it touches.

The lyrics express the feeling of freedom, joy, and hope. The girl is enjoying the present moment without worrying about the past or the future. She lets herself go, dance, and be happy, and her happiness spreads and transforms everything around her. The song is an invitation to let go of worries and embrace the beauty of the present moment.
