Shukumei

Official HIGE DANdism's song 'Shukumei' delves into the themes of destiny, perseverance, and the human spirit's resilience. The lyrics are a powerful testament to the struggles and triumphs that define our lives. The song opens with a vivid image of voices overflowing from the heart, merging under a deep blue sky, symbolizing unity and shared dreams. This sets the stage for a narrative that is both personal and universal, capturing the essence of human connection and the pursuit of dreams.

The recurring lines '夢じゃない夢じゃない' (It's not a dream, it's not a dream) and '嘘じゃない嘘じゃない' (It's not a lie, it's not a lie) emphasize the authenticity of the emotions and experiences described. These lines reject the notion of dreams and efforts being mere illusions, instead affirming their reality and significance. The song acknowledges the hardships ('涙の足跡' - traces of tears, '泥だらけの笑顔' - mud-covered smiles) but also celebrates the joy and camaraderie found in shared struggles. The imagery of a '切れないバッテリー' (an unbreakable battery) and '魂の限り' (to the limit of the soul) underscores the relentless energy and spirit that drive us forward.

'奇跡じゃなくていい美しくなくていい' (It doesn't have to be a miracle, it doesn't have to be beautiful) reflects a grounded perspective on life. The song suggests that true fulfillment comes not from perfection or extraordinary events but from the everyday efforts and the '生きがい' (purpose of life) that shines brightly. The notion of '宿命' (destiny) is portrayed not as a predetermined path but as something to be embraced and ignited with passion. The song's message is clear: face your destiny head-on, fuel it with your spirit, and let it drive you to action.

'Shukumei' is a rallying cry for anyone facing challenges, reminding us that our struggles and efforts are not in vain. It encourages us to find strength in our shared experiences and to keep pushing forward, no matter how difficult the journey may be.
