Maybe I

The song 'Maybe I' by Seven Billion Dots delves into the complexities of facing a harsh world while holding onto hope and the importance of companionship. The lyrics express the difficulty of saying goodbye and the fear of being alone, encapsulated in the lines 'Maybe I, maybe I hitori ga kowai kara' (Maybe I, maybe I am afraid of being alone). This sentiment is a universal human experience, highlighting the vulnerability and emotional struggle that comes with isolation.

The song also touches on the challenge of maintaining clarity and vision in difficult times, as seen in 'Sometimes it's hard to see the stars doushite / Maybe I, maybe I boyaketa shikai ga' (Sometimes it's hard to see the stars, why / Maybe I, maybe I have blurred vision). Despite these struggles, the song emphasizes the importance of hope and perseverance. The repeated phrase 'When the cruelest world falls on me now I'll / Never be afraid cause I know my hope's unchanged' serves as a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, hope remains a guiding light.

Moreover, 'Maybe I' underscores the significance of having someone by your side. The lyrics 'gyutto tsunagi atta tenohira / Running around, running around tomoni kakeru sa' (Holding hands tightly / Running around, running around together) illustrate the strength and comfort found in companionship. This theme is further reinforced with the line 'furi nukedasu no kimi ga soba ni ite kureru' (I can break through because you are by my side), suggesting that the presence of a loved one can help overcome life's challenges. Ultimately, the song is a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of human connection in navigating a cruel world.
