Gravity
Soraya • From “Motion”
Gravity Lyrics Translation (from “Motion”)
Kento Tsubosaka and 高橋久美子 describe everyday objects such as loose shoelaces and Pentas flowers. The writers then pen the line, “Step forward and don’t look back,” urging the listener onward. They also use the flowing river as a symbol of release, with the melody moving like a current.
Kimi wo yobu koe wa kaze ni noriThe voice calling out to you rides upon the wind,
Hikari no uta yosete wa kaesu inochi lalaa song of light, where life ebbs and flows like the tide, la la.
Hodoketa kutsuhimo musubi shinkokyuuI tie my loose shoelaces and take a deep breath.
Me wo akete jibun no michi wo yuke izaOpening my eyes, I set out on my own path right now.
Saraba no aji kamishimeru gravityI taste the bitterness of farewell, a heavy gravity.
Pentasu no hana yureteThe Pentas flowers are swaying,
Omoide tachi itsudemo watashi wo miteru ahand memories are watching over me always, ah.
Kitto wasuremashou riverLet’s surely forget it all, flowing like a river.
Kimi to mitsumeta sora no iroThe color of the sky that I gazed at with you,
Fuzake atta chikyuu no ue dehere on this earth where we used to joke around.
