Navigating Life's Cycles: A Journey of Loss and Hope in 'A New One For All, All For The New One'

One Ok Rock's song 'A New One For All, All For The New One' delves into the profound themes of life, death, and the cyclical nature of existence. The lyrics reflect on the duality of life and death, suggesting that they are two sides of the same coin. The opening lines, 'Kono yo ni sei wo sazukatta mono / Kono yo de iki taeteitta mono / Futatsu wa hitotsu sa,' translate to 'Those who were given life in this world / Those who have exhausted their lives in this world / The two are one.' This sets the stage for a contemplation of how life and death are intertwined and inseparable.

The song also explores the idea of legacy and the impact of those who have passed away. The lines 'Anata wa hikari to natta no? / Anata no hikari wo abiteiru no?' question whether the departed have become a guiding light and if the living are basking in that light. This metaphor of light serves as a symbol of hope and guidance, suggesting that the memories and influences of those who have left us continue to shape our lives. The recurring theme of 'Kurikaesareru dekigoto no naka no hitotsu to omou ni wa / Mada mada jikan ga kakarisou' emphasizes the repetitive nature of life's events and the time it takes to come to terms with them.

The song's emotional core is encapsulated in the lines 'Sayonara wa iwanai yo / Chikaku ni iru to shinjiteiru kara,' which mean 'I won't say goodbye / Because I believe you are close.' This sentiment reflects a deep sense of hope and faith that those we have lost are still with us in spirit. The song's blend of Japanese and English lyrics adds a layer of universality, making its themes resonate across different cultures. One Ok Rock's signature style of blending rock with emotional depth is evident throughout the song, making it a poignant reflection on the human experience.
