Vita

ReoNa's song 'Vita' delves deep into the profound and eternal nature of life and memory. The lyrics explore the concept that life, or 'inochi' in Japanese, transcends physical existence. Even when the body fades away, the essence of life continues through memories, emotions, and the connections we make with others. This idea is beautifully encapsulated in the lines 'いのちはあなたをわすれない' (Life will not forget you), suggesting that our existence leaves an indelible mark on the world and the people we touch.

The song juxtaposes the end of the world with the end of an individual's life, questioning the difference between the two. It posits that while the physical body may disappear, life persists through the memories and experiences shared with others. This continuity is emphasized through the imagery of hands connecting and memories being passed down, symbolizing the unbroken chain of human experience and emotion. The lyrics 'ことばおもい ぬくもりいろあせず こころにのこってる' (Words, thoughts, warmth do not fade, they remain in the heart) highlight the enduring impact of our interactions and the warmth they bring.

ReoNa also touches on the fear of the future and the haunting nature of the past, yet she reassures that as long as we live within each other, life goes on. The plea for a 'proof of life' ('いのちのあかしを') underscores the desire for our existence to be acknowledged and remembered. The song concludes with a powerful affirmation of life’s eternal cycle, likening it to the natural process of blooming, withering, and returning to the earth, symbolizing rebirth and continuity. 'いのちはえいえんに' (Life is eternal) serves as a poignant reminder of the everlasting nature of life and the stories we leave behind.

'ReoNa's 'Vita' is a heartfelt ode to the enduring nature of life and memory, urging listeners to cherish their connections and the indelible marks they leave on the world. The song's emotional depth and poetic imagery resonate with the universal human experience of love, loss, and the quest for meaning in our existence.
