🎵 "Unraveling the Vermilion"

I won't look back anymore
Saying goodbye to the past right here
The me from back then, and the me from that day
Are not left behind

Memories dyed in the twilight
Though I've pretended not to see them

The sun illuminating my left shoulder
The moonlight falling on my right shoulder
In the middle of those two lights
I feel like I can finally be myself

The vermilion, little by little
Takes on warmth and unravels
Not as a burning pain
But like a light glowing deep in my chest
A quiet radiance

To forgive
Is not to shout
But to accept myself

That voice, and those tears
Are still within me even now
The past I wanted to forget
Has shaped who I am today

Sometimes when night falls
It returns in the gaps of my breathing
To forgive is to not forget, isn't it

As if untying a knot with my fingertips
Little by little, the weight fades away
In order to move forward
There was certainly a day when it was necessary

The vermilion turns into kindness
As if bleeding into it
This color I see for the first time
Is my color alone

It is no longer suffering
Thank you for having been with me
All this time

I will not forget
The reason I am here now
Is thanks to that pain

Holding the vermilion to my chest
I start walking once again

Without looking back, yet without forgetting
The past, and the present
And the future too

Vermilion is no longer pain
My proof
Untie it
Love it
Forgive it
I will live on
In this moment

過去を消すのではなく、抱えたまま歩いていくこと。
「赦す」とは忘れることではなく、自分自身を受け入れていくことなのかもしれません。

痛みや記憶を“なかったこと”にせず、少しずつほどきながら進んでいく歌です。
朱色に染まった感情が、やがて静かな優しさへ変わっていく過程を描きました。

“朱色”は、もう痛みだけではなく、今を生きるための証なのかな？って。
