Fall Of Leaves...

Juka's song 'Fall Of Leaves...' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the passage of time. The lyrics convey a deep sense of nostalgia and longing, as the narrator reflects on a past relationship that once seemed eternal. The opening lines, 'Itsu made mo kitto itsu made mo / Koko ni irareru you na kigashita,' suggest a time when the narrator believed that their love would last forever. However, as time passes, the everyday moments that once felt so natural have become distant memories.

The chorus reveals the narrator's enduring affection and desire to protect their loved one, even though they are no longer together. 'Boku no ude no naka ja nakutemo / Eien ni kimi dake wa boku ga mamotte agetai' translates to 'Even if you're not in my arms, I want to protect you forever.' This sentiment underscores the depth of the narrator's love, which persists despite the separation. The imagery of falling leaves and snowflakes further emphasizes the theme of impermanence and the inevitable changes brought by time.

As the song progresses, the narrator acknowledges the pain of their unfulfilled dreams and the reality of their parting. 'Hate shinaku zutto hate shinaku / Tsuzuku michi wo ayunde itakatta' expresses a desire to walk an endless path together, but they ultimately face the farewell they never thought would come. Despite the distance and the impossibility of meeting again, the narrator's love remains unwavering, as highlighted in the line 'Eien ni dare yori mo kimi wo omoitteiru kara.' The song concludes with a bittersweet declaration of love, 'Aishiteru,' and a continued dream of protecting their beloved, even if only in their imagination.
