Hikari Ni Tsuite

Grapevine's song 'Hikari Ni Tsuite' delves into the complexities of life, capturing the essence of human experiences and emotions. The lyrics reflect a sense of adaptation and the inevitable changes that come with time. The opening lines, 'Sukoshi ha kono basho ni nareta / Yokei na mono made te ni ireta,' suggest a gradual acclimatization to one's surroundings, albeit with the acquisition of unnecessary burdens. This sets the stage for a narrative that explores the dissonance between expectations and reality, as well as the unnoticed shifts in one's life.

The song's chorus, 'Sou kitto isogi tsukare ta n da honno sukoshi / Jounetsu o kakae ta mama de tatte ta no sa,' speaks to the weariness that comes from rushing through life, yet holding onto passion. This juxtaposition of fatigue and fervor is a recurring theme, highlighting the struggle to maintain one's drive amidst the chaos. The imagery of tears and unspoken words floating in the sky, 'Namida ni nagare te tsukae nakatta kotoba o sora ni ukabeteita,' evokes a sense of unresolved emotions and the longing for expression.

As the song progresses, it touches on the idea of fleeting connections and the passage of time. The lines, 'Mouichido kimi ni ae te mo hontouha / Mou nidoto todoka nai you na ki ga shiteta,' convey a bittersweet sentiment of meeting someone again but feeling that the connection may never be the same. The recurring motif of light, 'Hikari ni mitasa re te yuku kono sekai no naka,' symbolizes clarity and enlightenment, yet also exposes the transient nature of human experiences. Ultimately, 'Hikari Ni Tsuite' is a poignant reflection on life's journey, capturing the delicate balance between holding on and letting go, and the enduring presence of the self amidst the ever-changing world.
