My Will

The song 'My Will' by Inuyasha is a poignant exploration of unrequited love and the enduring hope that accompanies it. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and the emotional turmoil that comes with loving someone from afar. The singer expresses a fragile yet persistent desire for their feelings to reach the person they love, despite the physical and emotional distance that separates them. This theme is encapsulated in the lines, 'はかない想いずっと どんな時でも願うよ あなたに届くようにと,' which translate to 'I always wish for my fleeting feelings to reach you, no matter the time.'

The song delves into the internal struggle of wanting to bridge the gap between oneself and the beloved. The lyrics, 'あと少し」という距離が踏み出せなくて いつも目の前は閉ざされていたの,' meaning 'The distance of 'just a little more' that I can't step over always closes off my path,' highlight the frustration and helplessness of being so close yet so far. This sentiment is further emphasized by the recurring theme of tears and emotional vulnerability, as seen in 'あなたのことを想う それだけで涙が今溢れ出してくるよ,' which means 'Just thinking of you makes tears overflow now.'

Despite the pain and uncertainty, the song also carries a message of resilience and unwavering faith in love. The singer's determination to believe in the possibility of 'eternity' and their resolve to seize opportunities, as expressed in '待っている私はやめて「チャンス」をつかむよ,' meaning 'I will stop waiting and seize the chance,' reflect a powerful inner strength. This blend of vulnerability and determination makes 'My Will' a touching and relatable anthem for anyone who has experienced the complexities of love and longing.
