Higasa

Sid's song 'Higasa' delves into the ephemeral nature of love and the lingering impact of memories. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a past relationship, marked by moments of intimacy and vulnerability. The opening lines, 'tooku nazoru kioku / asebanda semi no koe,' evoke a sense of nostalgia, as the singer recalls the distant memories of a summer filled with the sound of cicadas. This imagery sets the tone for a reflection on a love that was once tender but ultimately fragile.

The song explores the emotional distance that can grow between two people, despite their physical closeness. Lines like 'kimekomaka na futari no kyori o / hakarenai muryoku o nageite mo' express the frustration of not being able to measure or bridge the gap between them. The singer laments the powerlessness felt in the face of this growing distance, and the brightness of the memories only serves to highlight the loss. The recurring theme of unfulfilled wishes and the passage of time, 'negai wa todokazu ni hibi wa tomarazu ni,' underscores the inevitability of change and the pain of unreciprocated feelings.

The chorus reveals a deep yearning for the past and a hope for reconciliation, even if it means taking a detour or finding solace in the shadows, 'dou ka kizutsuita nara / yorimichi demo ii hikage demo ii kara.' The singer's willingness to wait, despite the passage of time and the complexity of their emotions, speaks to the enduring nature of their love. The song's conclusion, with its reflection on the fleeting nature of their encounter and the bittersweet beauty of their memories, 'hayasugita deai to ososugita wakare / itazura da to akiramete,' encapsulates the essence of 'Higasa'—a poignant meditation on love, loss, and the passage of time.
