Kaleido

Lynch's song 'Kaleido' is a poetic exploration of dreams, loss, and the transient nature of beauty. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a winter night illuminated by a kaleidoscope of stars, where an angel descends and a butterfly spreads its wings, symbolizing the fleeting and delicate nature of dreams. The imagery of a butterfly, often associated with transformation and the ephemeral, underscores the theme of impermanence. The song speaks to the beauty found in dreams, even those that are unattainable, and the bittersweet nature of saying goodbye to cherished moments.

The recurring motif of a 'kaleidoscope' in the song represents the ever-changing and multifaceted nature of life and dreams. The kaleidoscope, with its shifting patterns and colors, mirrors the way dreams and memories can be beautiful yet elusive. The lyrics express a longing to capture and preserve these moments, singing a song that never fades, even as the reality of separation and loss sets in. The line 'sayonara mou aenakutemo namida ga tomaranakutemo' (goodbye, even if we can't meet again, even if the tears don't stop) poignantly captures the heartache of parting and the enduring beauty of what once was.

The song also delves into the harshness of reality, where the absence of a loved one changes nothing in a 'cruel world.' Despite this, there is a resolve to continue living and cherishing the dreams and memories that remain. The lyrics 'kanau yume mo kanawanu yume o kokoro ni tomoshi daite' (holding both attainable and unattainable dreams in our hearts) reflect a determination to keep the spirit of these dreams alive, even as life moves forward. The song concludes with a sense of acceptance and a recognition of the beauty in the ephemeral, encapsulated in the 'shi ni michita hoshizora no PARE-DO' (parade of a starry sky filled with death), suggesting a final, beautiful farewell.
