En Meaning & Lyrics (5Leaf)
Chaki Zulu writes the line ‘Walking home, the scent of dinner hangs in the air.’ The poet repeats that scent across verses, describing the ache of empty kitchens. He shows a world where loneliness meets daily smells, urging a new start.
Kaketa kokoro ni sashikonda LightsLights shone into my broken heart.
Sosogareteita ai All My LifeLove has poured over me my entire life.
Umaku waraenaiI can’t smile the way I should.
Jibun ni tsuita LieIt’s a lie I’ve told myself.
Toozakaru miraiThe future that was fading away,
Ima tsunagariattahas finally connected now.
Subete no deaiEvery person I’ve met led to this.
Ano ko wa mou inaiThat girl isn’t here anymore.
Monokuro no mama tada sugiteku hibiDays just passed by in monochrome.
Kizukeba sagashiteru ikiteru imiBefore I knew it, I was searching for a reason to live.
Bangohan kaoru kaerimichiOn the way home, smelling dinner in the air,
Shigotochuu no mama kyou mo hitorikiriI’m all alone again today while they’re still at work.
Sabishii itai tsuraiIt’s lonely, it’s painful, and it’s hard.
Kanjou wa ittsumo oitekeboriMy feelings are always left behind.
Me ooitaku naru yona konna nichijou niIn this daily life that makes me want to close my eyes,
Kodoku na shoujo ga tsuzuru sutooriiit’s a story written by a lonely girl.
“Hontou wa nukedashitai“I really want to break free,
Demo sono ippo fumidasu no ga kowaibut I’m scared to take that first step.
Jibun no michi ibasho o mitsuketaiI want to find my own path and a place to belong.
Mou kore ijou kizu wa tsuketakunai”I don’t want to get hurt anymore.”
Kurayami no naka egaku miraiI’m painting a future in the dark.
Kono saki wa kitto jibun shidaiFrom here on, it’s definitely up to me.
Negau dake ja nanimo tsukamenaiI can’t grab hold of anything just by wishing.
Fumidasu koto de mieta hiroi sekaiBy taking a step, I saw how wide the world is.
Ima suteeji kara miwatasu koukeiNow, looking out at the view from the stage,
Ano hi no kizuato ataru shoumeithe spotlight hits the scars from those days.
Hito no onkei ga nakya touteiWithout the kindness of others, there’s no way
Koko made mo tadoritsukenee kono WayI’d ever have made it this far on this path.
Donzoko kara nandomo tachiagatteI’ve stood up from rock bottom over and over,
Sono itami mo susumeba kate ni nattekuand that pain becomes fuel as I move forward.
Kizukeba yoko ni wa nakama ga iteBefore I knew it, I had friends by my side,
Mienakatta asu ni mukattekuand we’re heading toward a tomorrow I couldn’t see.
Kaketa kokoro ni sashikonda LightsLights shone into my broken heart.
Sosogareteita ai All My LifeLove has poured over me my entire life.
