レグルス (Regulus)

Leo/need's song 'レグルス (Regulus)' is a poetic exploration of hope, connection, and the journey through life's uncertainties. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of stars scattered across the sky, hidden by clouds, symbolizing moments of confusion and doubt. The protagonist reflects on the idea that avoiding pain by not confronting it only leads to more suffering, a sentiment captured in the line '触れずにいれば傷は痛まないんだと 目を逸らした' (If you don't touch it, the wound won't hurt, so I looked away).

The song's central metaphor revolves around the star Regulus, a bright beacon in the night sky. This star represents guidance and clarity, a light that cuts through the darkness. The plea 'お願いレグルス' (Please, Regulus) signifies a call for direction and strength. The imagery of tying and retying threads stronger than before symbolizes resilience and the unbreakable bonds formed through shared experiences and mutual support. This is further emphasized by the lines '何度だって 前よりも強く結んで もう離さないよと掴んだ' (No matter how many times, I'll tie it stronger than before and never let go).

The song also touches on themes of companionship and mutual encouragement. The lyrics '一緒なら大丈夫だよ' (If we're together, it's okay) highlight the importance of having someone by your side during difficult times. The journey through '願いの乱気流' (the turbulence of wishes) to an '果てないセカイ' (endless world) suggests a voyage towards a brighter, limitless future, driven by hope and the strength of connections. The final lines, '点と点を天になぞればほら レオ' (If you trace the dots in the sky, look, Leo), beautifully encapsulate the idea of finding one's path and destiny through the constellations of life.
