Owari To Mirai

Girugamesh's song 'Owari To Mirai' delves into the themes of perseverance, belief, and the emotional journey of self-discovery. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of introspection and the struggle to find meaning in a world that often feels transient and uncertain. The opening lines suggest that even when an end comes, the things we have built and believed in remain, highlighting the enduring nature of our experiences and convictions.

The song captures a moment of vulnerability, where the narrator reflects on past doubts and fears. The line 'あの頃は変わる答え嘘だと背を向けた' (Back then, I turned my back on changing answers, thinking they were lies) reveals a time when the narrator was afraid of change and the unknown. This fear is juxtaposed with the desire for connection, as expressed in '奏でた声が君に届き心を掴み動かしたなら' (If my voice reaches you and moves your heart), showing a longing for their voice and emotions to be understood and reciprocated.

The recurring theme of music as a means of expression and connection is evident throughout the song. The narrator, who feels limited to only being able to sing, seeks solace and validation through the act of singing. The plea for a smile in return for their song ('歌うことしかできない僕に少し笑顔見せてくれますか') underscores the human need for acknowledgment and the power of music to bridge emotional gaps. The song's melancholic yet hopeful tone encapsulates the bittersweet nature of growth and the importance of holding onto one's beliefs, even in the face of loneliness and change.
