Raise

Chilli Beans.' song 'Raise' is a powerful anthem about perseverance, dreams, and the journey of self-discovery. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and determination, starting with the line '時間切れさ' (time's up), suggesting that the time for hiding and waiting is over. The song encourages listeners to move forward with strength and confidence, as indicated by the lines '行こうほら 鼓動鳴り響かせ' (let's go, let our heartbeat resound) and '力強くなれ 時間はあるぞ' (become strong, there is time). This sets the tone for a journey of change and growth, where the protagonists are ready to face whatever comes their way.

The chorus, with its repeated call to '掲げよう' (raise), symbolizes the act of lifting one's spirits and aspirations. The lyrics 'この胸待ちわびた 憧れにただ会いたい' (this heart has been waiting, just wanting to meet its longing) reflect a deep desire to achieve dreams and aspirations. The song speaks to the importance of companionship and shared experiences, as seen in '世界の果てを共に見よう 一緒なら行ける fly' (let's see the ends of the world together, if we're together, we can fly). This highlights the theme of unity and the belief that together, anything is possible.

Throughout the song, there is an acknowledgment of the struggles and setbacks that come with pursuing one's dreams. Lines like '嫌なことばかりだな いつだって思い通り 行かないよの中' (there are always unpleasant things, it never goes as planned) and 'たまに疲れる それもいいよ' (sometimes we get tired, and that's okay) remind listeners that challenges are a natural part of the journey. However, the song maintains a positive outlook, encouraging resilience and the pursuit of '馬鹿な夢' (foolish dreams) despite the obstacles. 'Raise' ultimately serves as an uplifting reminder to keep striving for one's goals, embrace the journey, and find strength in unity and perseverance.
