Voices

The song 'Voices' by Leo/need is a powerful anthem of perseverance and unwavering dreams. The lyrics convey a sense of relentless determination, with the opening line, 'zutto kawaranai yo kono negai wa,' translating to 'this wish will never change.' This sets the tone for a narrative centered around an unchanging desire and the unstoppable momentum of one's ambitions, symbolized by the 'mawaridashita haguruma wa tomaranai' or 'the turning gears that won't stop.' The song speaks to the innate drive within the heart, pushing through adversities and resonating with the six landscapes that symbolize various challenges and experiences.

The chorus emphasizes the overflowing voice and emotions that carry genuine longing, not just fleeting desires. The repetition of 'afuredasu koe ni, omoi ni' highlights the intensity of these feelings. The mention of 'arifureta namida' (ordinary tears) and 'itami mo' (pain) transforming into strength on the 'juuroku shousetsu' (sixteen chapters) suggests a journey of growth and resilience. This metaphor of chapters implies a story being written, where each tear and pain contributes to the protagonist's strength, resonating continuously in this world.

The song also touches on the theme of time and the urgency of the present moment. Lines like 'jikan wa modoranai kara' (time won't return) and 'nidoto konai kono isshun ni' (this moment that will never come again) underscore the importance of seizing the moment and making the most of it. The call to 'Let's go!' signifies a readiness to face challenges head-on, shaking off anxieties and standing firm in one's resolve. 'Voices' is a celebration of enduring hope, the courage to pursue dreams, and the strength found in overcoming life's trials, all set to a vibrant and unyielding beat.
