Kowaremono

Nogod's song 'Kowaremono' delves deep into the themes of loss, regret, and the resilience required to move forward. The lyrics poignantly express the realization that once something is lost, it can never be regained in its original form. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines 'Ushinatta mono wa nidoto / Te ni ireru koto wa dekinai kara mou,' which translate to 'What is lost can never be regained.' This acknowledgment of irreversibility sets the tone for the entire song, emphasizing the importance of holding on to what remains and cherishing the present moment.

The song also explores the fragility of human endeavors and the ease with which they can crumble. The lyrics 'Nagai toki wo nasanete / Tsumiagete kita mono wa / Honno isshun no mayoi / Sore de atokata mo naku kuzureru' reflect on how years of effort can be undone in a moment of doubt. This metaphor serves as a powerful reminder of the precarious nature of life and the importance of steadfastness. The imagery of angels and demons further enriches the narrative, symbolizing the internal struggle between good and evil, hope and despair.

Despite the somber themes, 'Kowaremono' ultimately carries a message of resilience and determination. The protagonist vows to never let go of what they have left, as seen in 'Kono te wa kesshite hanashi wa shinai,' meaning 'I will never let go of this hand.' This resolve is further strengthened by the commitment to face the future with courage, even if it means carrying the weight of past mistakes. The song concludes with a hopeful note, urging the listener to dream of a brighter tomorrow while bearing the burdens of today. This blend of melancholy and hope makes 'Kowaremono' a deeply moving and relatable piece.
