Resolution

The song 'Resolution' by Sword Art Online delves into the complex interplay between idealism, determination, and the struggles faced in the pursuit of one's goals. The lyrics, rich in metaphor and emotion, paint a vivid picture of a journey marked by both internal and external conflicts. The opening lines, '白い感情で 願う理想が正義だって 多分幻想で それでも言えなくて' (With white emotions, wishing for ideals to be justice, probably an illusion, but still unable to say it), suggest a yearning for an ideal world, even if it might be an illusion. This sets the stage for a narrative that explores the tension between dreams and reality.

The song continues to explore themes of perseverance and resilience. Lines like '起動修正を 失踪に揺れる迷いも 千迷で深い瞬間に 追い越していける何度もこぼれかけて' (Adjusting the course, even the hesitation that shakes in disappearance, in the deep moments of a thousand hesitations, can be overcome many times) highlight the protagonist's determination to push through doubts and setbacks. This reflects a universal struggle where one must constantly adjust and readjust their path in the face of uncertainty and challenges.

The chorus, '忘れないこの答えは 無謀じゃない完璧にすぐ なったりしない 描いた世界まで' (Don't forget this answer, it's not reckless, it won't become perfect immediately, until the world we envisioned), emphasizes the importance of holding onto one's vision and the understanding that perfection is a gradual process. The repeated motif of striving towards '可能性へ傷ついて 踏み出していくただ 舞いなすご感じてたい' (Towards possibilities, getting hurt, just stepping forward, wanting to feel the dance) encapsulates the essence of the song: the relentless pursuit of potential, despite the inevitable pain and setbacks. This journey is not just about reaching a destination but also about experiencing and growing through the process.

The song 'Resolution' resonates with anyone who has ever chased a dream, faced obstacles, and continued to push forward. It is a powerful reminder that the path to achieving one's ideals is fraught with challenges, but it is the strength to keep moving forward that defines true resolution.
