Promise The Star

Bish's song 'Promise The Star' is a poignant exploration of hope, resilience, and the power of human connection. The lyrics reflect a journey marked by fear and uncertainty, as the protagonist navigates through challenging times. The opening lines, 'どのくらい歩いて来たんだろう / おびえて過ごす毎日だった' (How far have I walked? / Every day was spent in fear), set the tone for a narrative of struggle and perseverance. The mention of '勘違いわがまま人たち / 僕らを引き裂いてた' (misunderstood selfish people / tore us apart) suggests external forces that have caused pain and division, yet the protagonist remains steadfast in their journey.

The recurring theme of waiting for the future, 'だから僕は待って待って / 未来を待って立って' (So I wait and wait / standing and waiting for the future), underscores a sense of anticipation and hope. This waiting is not passive but filled with a desire to feel alive and connected. The lyrics 'きっと巡り逢った僕らは奇跡なんだ' (Surely, our meeting is a miracle) highlight the significance of human connections and the belief that such encounters are extraordinary and fateful. The song also touches on the idea of promises and commitments, as seen in the repeated phrase 'プロミスザスター' (Promise the star), symbolizing a vow to strive for something greater and to hold onto hope.

The song's reflective nature is further emphasized by the lines 'どれだけ話せばわかってくれる / Don't you think every time / あの空を染めてけ' (How much do I have to talk for you to understand? / Don't you think every time / Dye that sky). These lines convey a longing for understanding and a desire to leave a lasting impact. The imagery of dyeing the sky suggests a transformative and hopeful vision for the future. Bish's musical style, characterized by its emotional intensity and powerful vocals, complements the song's themes, creating an evocative and inspiring anthem for those facing their own struggles and seeking hope.
