Chapters

- There's a sense of wanting to 'pick up' these forgotten memories before they fade completely.
- The lyrics introduce the idea of a past relationship and a desire to 'start over' or revisit those times.
This opening establishes the song's core themes of memory, regret, and the longing for a past connection, setting an introspective and emotional tone.
The line 'ねとかに置いてきたひなことが1つ2つ 吹いているけどね ちゃんと拾っておこを けて忘れてしまうまにね' (Things I left behind are blowing away one or two, but I should pick them up before I forget them) illustrates the act of trying to reclaim lost memories.
- The narrative shifts to a dream where the singer encounters someone they love.
- Despite only having met once, the singer deeply loves this person.
- The lyrics express a desire to 'kick away' the feelings and be together, highlighting the pain of unrequited or distant love.
This section delves into the emotional complexity of love, contrasting the intensity of feelings with the limited reality of the relationship, and introducing the theme of love experienced in dreams.
The phrase '私あなたにあったの夢の中に置いてき たけとねねとして私が好きなの1度しかっ たことがないのにね' (I met you in a dream and left you there, but I only met you once) encapsulates the dreamlike and limited nature of the connection.
- The chorus repeats the desire to 'start over' and 'walk together' in the future.
- The song emphasizes that even as time passes and people change ('時代に乗って僕たちは変わらず会いに生きるだろう' - Riding the era, we will live to meet each other unchanged), true love remains constant.
- The ultimate message is that what remains after everything else fades is the 'song of unchanging love' ('変わらぬ愛の歌').
This part provides the song's resolution, asserting the timeless and enduring nature of love as the most significant element that persists through life's changes.
The recurring line '僕らたちて残るのは変わら ぬの歌なんだろうな' (What will remain after we scatter is probably the song of unchanging love) serves as the central thesis about love's permanence.
