Ryu
The Pain of Unforgettable Love
Ryu's song "Saisho Kara Ima Made" delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a love that can never be rekindled. The lyrics express a poignant sense of finality and the heartache that comes with the realization that there is no going back. The opening lines, "Mou modoru koto wa nai modoru hazu mo nai" (There is no going back, there never was), set the tone for a narrative of irreversible loss. The singer whispers, "Saigo da yo" (This is the end), emphasizing the definitive nature of the separation.
The song captures the internal conflict of wanting to forget a love that is no longer attainable. The lines, "Nido to aenai no nara hontou ni wasuretai yo" (If I can never see you again, I truly want to forget), reveal a desperate desire to erase the memories that cause so much pain. However, the struggle is evident as the singer admits, "Wasureyou wasuretai wasurerarenai" (I want to forget, I want to forget, but I can't). This repetition underscores the difficulty of moving on from a profound emotional connection.
Ryu's lyrics also touch on the paradox of love and suffering. The singer reflects on the unexpected pain of loving someone, "Shiranakatta yo ai suru koto ga konna ni kurushii nante" (I didn't know that loving someone could be this painful). This line encapsulates the essence of the song, highlighting the bittersweet nature of love—how it can bring immense joy and, simultaneously, deep sorrow. The song's melancholic tone and heartfelt lyrics resonate with anyone who has experienced the agony of an unforgettable love.
