Shiina Ringo - Tsuki Ni Makeinu
"I have so many favorite people and things
that they're likely to end up being abandoned
I may not want to put up a bold front
but I’m not afraid of anything in particular
this river will flow without rest
are there any flowers which aren't supposed to float on the river?
there shouldn't be
acknowledge me
I may die tomorrow
so right now I summon all my strength
if I could make myself understood
I’d have no regrets
always standing paralyzed in the silent season
my body continuing to cool
listen closely to the showering of abuse
buried in a world of numbers
even if I cross the bridge successfully
I’ll still be running on a path that looks the same
as where I’ve just been
forgive me that's all I can do
my exhaled breath is getting warmer
I can't meet the person I want to meet
so I’m gonna throw all these things in my hand into the sky
before a sun that sets regardless of me"
Because even though I move, I'm still in the same place as I was before, and I never hold onto many things [people, objects]. I also like how it's kind of sad yet hopeful. "I'm gonna throw all these things in my hand, into the sky before the sun that sets regardless of me." I have to get used to the sun setting and time flowing, and I also have to get used to letting go of feelings/things/memories. :]
