VIOLET

Ninomae Ina'nis' song 'VIOLET' is a poetic exploration of fleeting moments and the ephemeral nature of happiness. The lyrics are rich with imagery, painting a picture of a serene night where flowers sleep and stars reflect on the waves. The moon's playful interaction with the narrator's feet symbolizes a gentle, almost whimsical connection to the natural world. This serene setting is contrasted with the narrator's introspective journey, as they follow the flowing light, hoping their whispered words reach a distant 'you.'

The recurring theme of holding hands and embracing, even with all one's might, underscores a deep yearning for connection and the inevitability of change. The sky, filled with autumn or rain, serves as a metaphor for the passage of time and the changing seasons of life. The narrator's actions, like the gentle swaying of fingers and the halted clock's hands, evoke a sense of time standing still, capturing moments that are both precious and transient.

The song also delves into the idea of memories and their lasting impact. The narrator recalls the shape of a voice that once called out, now scattered and wet with emotion. This voice, along with the smile they remember, signifies a past happiness that cannot be reclaimed. The imagery of a train drawn by clouds and the gentle breeze through hair further emphasizes the dreamlike quality of these memories. 'VIOLET' is a poignant reflection on the beauty of fleeting moments and the bittersweet nature of memories that linger long after the moments have passed.
