Missing You

The song 'Missing You' by My First Story delves into the emotional turmoil of loneliness and the struggle to overcome pain. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with feelings of isolation and the passage of time, suggesting that these emotions are a universal experience. The opening lines, 'Whenever you are feeling lonely and afraid / The time will pass away on you,' set the tone for a narrative that acknowledges the difficulty of enduring emotional pain while also hinting at the possibility of healing over time.

The song employs a mix of English and Japanese lyrics, adding a layer of cultural depth and emotional resonance. Phrases like 'Kurayami no naka kirisakareteta kioku o yomigaerasete' (Reviving the memories that were torn apart in the darkness) and 'Tatta hitotsu no omoide mo marumete nagesutete' (Even a single memory, I will round it up and throw it away) highlight the internal conflict of holding onto painful memories while yearning for release. The recurring plea, 'Tell me when you will come back,' underscores a longing for reconnection and closure, suggesting that the pain of separation is a central theme.

The chorus, 'We can't find you anything now!! / There's nothing to be seen,' reflects a sense of emptiness and the difficulty of moving forward without the presence of a significant other. However, the song also offers a glimmer of hope and support, as seen in lines like 'Hello, what's going on my friend?? / You can always count on me.' This duality of despair and hope is a hallmark of My First Story's musical style, which often blends emotional intensity with a sense of resilience. The song ultimately suggests that while the journey through pain and loneliness is arduous, the support of friends and the passage of time can lead to healing and new beginnings.
