Revolution

Hayashibara Megumi's song 'Revolution' is a powerful anthem about resilience, perseverance, and the continuous journey of self-discovery. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of life's unpredictable nature, symbolized by the sudden rain from a clear sky and the ever-moving clouds. These elements represent the unexpected challenges and the relentless passage of time that one cannot always keep up with. Despite these uncertainties, the song emphasizes that every moment is not an end but a part of a larger, ongoing journey.

The song delves into the emotional turmoil and the relentless pursuit of answers that seem unattainable. The lines '呆れるほど悩み抜いて / 出来ない答え今はいらない' (Worrying to the point of exasperation / The answers that can't be found are not needed now) reflect a deep struggle and the realization that some answers may not be necessary at the moment. Instead, the focus shifts to the importance of not giving up, as highlighted in 'ほら本当は諦めていない / まだまだ行こう' (Look, you haven't really given up / Let's keep going). This message of enduring hope and determination is a central theme of the song.

The imagery of the red tail lamps and the heavy-heartedness from over-braking symbolizes the weight of hesitation and fear. Yet, the song encourages belief in the journey and the miracles that can occur through persistence, as seen in 'やっと出会える奇跡もあるの' (There are miracles that you can finally encounter). The repeated refrain 'おわりはしない' (It doesn't end) serves as a powerful reminder that the journey continues, and with it, the potential for growth and revolution. The song's call to 'make a revolution' is not just about grand societal changes but also about personal transformation and the courage to forge one's path.
