Glow

The song 'Glow' by VOCALOID delves into the complex emotions of loss, pain, and the struggle to move on from a past relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a melancholic journey, starting with the imagery of cold rain dissolving blue wounds, symbolizing the lingering pain and sadness from a past love. The mention of a laughing figure in the corner of a sunset sky suggests a memory of happier times, now overshadowed by the present sorrow.

As the song progresses, the narrator reflects on the process of growing up, learning to tell 'beautiful lies' and experiencing various forms of pain. Despite these experiences, the pain of the lost relationship remains acute. The recurring motif of the color red, associated with tears and the evening sky, symbolizes intense emotions and the lingering presence of the past lover within the narrator. The plea to 'dissolve' the presence of the past lover indicates a desire to move on, yet the narrator finds themselves still holding on to the memories.

The song's climax reveals a poignant struggle as the narrator's body is described as being filled with the scars left by the past lover, making it difficult to move forward. The repeated wish for the past lover to disappear contrasts with the realization that the narrator is still deeply attached to these memories. The imagery of red seeping through the narrator's fingers and the tears falling from the clouds further emphasizes the depth of their sorrow and the difficulty of letting go. Ultimately, 'Glow' captures the bittersweet essence of holding on to a past love while yearning for the strength to move on.
