A star fell and sank in the California shore, in 2024
We all watched it happen
It was so beautiful, like nothing seen before
Made a big fuss about it
Made things complicated
From heat of discord, heroes will be born
So, in the end, you couldn't change this fuckin' world
But will live on eternally
You said to me "Thanks, you know how I have to be"
Truth is, I couldn't bear the fact and just hid myself
All this I'm claiming about,
I learned it from you
Words you played with still echo in my ears
So, in the end, you couldn't change this fuckin' world
But will live on eternally
You said to me "Thanks, you know how I have to be"
The truth is, I pretended I didn't hear your words and just ran away
Time in life is limited, and shapes will fade someday
It's so sad but true. It's so sad but true
If you're satisfied with how you ran through life, then "good"
We'll still go on and keep chasing the
Footprints you left
[ Romaji ]
夜空や出来事を手がかりにして記憶と喪失を大胆に織り合わせた表現で、率直な語り口が強く心に届きました。過去の出来事が現在の感情を揺さぶり、敬意と戸惑いが同居している様子が伝わってきます。語り手が抱えていた葛藤は生々しく描かれており、時に逃げた自分を認める場面には痛みが伴っていましたが、それでも足跡を追い続けようとする姿勢が示されていました。言葉は飾られておらず、だからこそ真実味があり、聴き手の側に寄り添う力があると感じます。過去を受け止めたうえで前を向こうとする意志が表れており、静かな哀しみと確かな連帯感が同時に立ち上がっていました。
