Come Again

Muramasa's song 'Come Again' delves into the monotony and melancholy of daily life, while simultaneously offering a glimmer of hope and the promise of a brighter future. The lyrics open with a depiction of a typical day, marked by a sense of gloom and routine. The phrase 'Higa nobottara itsumo no toori' translates to 'When the sun rises, it's the same as always,' setting the tone for the repetitive and uninspiring nature of the narrator's life. This is further emphasized by the imagery of 'kuroi kutsu' or 'black shoes,' symbolizing the weight and darkness that the narrator feels as they go through their day without deviation.

Despite this bleak backdrop, the song introduces a yearning for change and escape. The metaphor of a 'koneko no you ni odori tai,' or 'wanting to dance like a lost kitten,' suggests a desire to break free from the chains of routine and find joy and spontaneity. The repeated line 'Come again kokoni kite' serves as a call to return to a place of happiness and light. This refrain is a plea for a return to a state of being where one can smile and feel liberated, as indicated by 'warae tara' (if you can smile) and 'asu hemo habatakeru' (you can fly tomorrow).

The song's hopeful message is encapsulated in the imagery of a 'kirakira no daia mitaina sora,' or 'a sky like a sparkling diamond.' This symbolizes the potential for a radiant and beautiful future, one that is within reach if the narrator can find the strength to smile and embrace the possibility of change. The song closes with a gentle promise that this sparkling sky will be delivered to the listener, reinforcing the idea that hope and beauty are attainable even in the midst of life's struggles.
