New Page

Intersection's song 'New Page' is a powerful anthem about embracing change and facing challenges head-on. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has been stuck in a cycle of recurring dreams and memories, symbolized by the '回る風見鶏' (spinning weathercock). This imagery suggests a sense of being lost or directionless, with the protagonist feeling isolated and haunted by past experiences. However, the song takes a hopeful turn as it encourages the listener to open a 'new page' in their life, symbolizing a fresh start and new opportunities.

The recurring theme of rain and footprints that eventually disappear highlights the transient nature of struggles and the importance of moving forward. The lyrics '新しいページを今開こう' (Let's open a new page now) and '恐れずに戦闘で旗を振ろう' (Let's wave the flag in battle without fear) serve as a rallying cry for courage and resilience. The song emphasizes that facing headwinds ('向かい風') can actually help one soar higher, turning adversity into a source of strength. This message is further reinforced by the lines 'just take my hand' and '今日を生きる君に明日が待っている' (Tomorrow is waiting for you who live today), which offer a sense of companionship and hope for the future.

The song also touches on the theme of self-doubt and the struggle to believe in oneself. The lyrics '自分のこと信じられずに迷った時には' (When you can't believe in yourself and are lost) reflect moments of uncertainty and hesitation. However, the imagery of light breaking through dark clouds ('暗雲の切れ間差し込む光') symbolizes hope and the promise of a brighter future. The song reassures the listener that there is a place where they belong and that they are not alone in their journey. By urging the listener to 'take my hand' and envision a world without boundaries, 'New Page' inspires a sense of unity and shared purpose in overcoming life's challenges.
