Beautiful Ground

Nano's 'Beautiful Ground' is a poignant exploration of loss, longing, and the search for meaning amidst emotional turmoil. The song's lyrics, rich with metaphors and evocative imagery, delve into the complexities of human emotions when faced with separation and the desire to reconnect with a lost sense of self or a significant other. The recurring theme of '誘導' (guidance) and '巻き戻す衝動' (the impulse to rewind) suggests a deep yearning to return to a time or place where things felt more certain and whole.

The imagery of '赤いまぶた' (red eyelids) and '霞む心' (hazy heart) sets a tone of sorrow and confusion, indicating a state of emotional distress. The protagonist's struggle to see and feel clearly is a metaphor for the disorientation that often accompanies profound loss. The repeated lines 'So, I can't see you now' and 'So, I want to get out of here' reflect a desperate need to escape the current painful reality and find solace in a 'Beautiful ground,' a place of peace and clarity that remains elusive.

Throughout the song, there is a tension between the desire to move forward and the pull of the past. The lines '無意識に覗く対話' (unconsciously peeking into a dialogue) and 'どうか忘れないでいて' (please don't forget) highlight the internal conflict of wanting to hold on to memories while also seeking to heal and move on. The song's refrain, '何度だって願うよ' (I wish over and over), underscores the persistent hope for a better tomorrow, even when the present feels empty and uncertain. 'Beautiful Ground' ultimately captures the universal human experience of grappling with change and the enduring hope for a place of emotional refuge.
