Sayonara Color

Super Butter Dog's 'Sayonara Color' is a deeply introspective song that explores the themes of farewells, personal growth, and the courage required to embark on new journeys. The lyrics convey a sense of departure, both physical and emotional, and the strength it takes to leave behind the familiar. The opening lines, 'Soko kara tabidatsu koto wa / Totemo chikara ga iru yo,' highlight the immense effort needed to start anew, especially when faced with resistance from those who fear change ('Namikaze taterareru koto / Kirau hito bakari de').

The song questions the listener's readiness to settle for comfort over authenticity. The lines 'Demo kimi wa sore de ii no? / Raku ga shita katta dake na no?' challenge the listener to reflect on whether they are merely seeking ease rather than true fulfillment. This introspection is further emphasized with 'Boku o damashite mo ii kedo / Jibun wa mou damasanai de,' suggesting that while one might deceive others, they should remain true to themselves.

'Sayonara Color' also underscores the idea that farewells can be the beginning of something new and meaningful. The recurring refrain, 'Sayonara kara hajimaru koto ga / Takusan arunda yo,' serves as a reminder that endings often lead to new opportunities and insights. The song encourages embracing these new beginnings with courage and authenticity, as seen in 'Hontou no koto ga mieteru nara / Sono omoi o boku ni misete.' Ultimately, the song is a call to face the truth of one's feelings and to not let go of one's dreams, even in the face of goodbyes.
