Perfect Blue Meaning & Lyrics (Niiiya)
The vocalist questions her path, asking, ‘How many right answers must I pile up, before I can finally believe in myself?’ The song uses the imagery of an endless blue sky to symbolize uncertainty and hope. Niiiya’s delivery turns these moments into a tender yet powerful story.
Dore hodo no seikai o kasanerebaHow many right answers must I pile up,
Jibun o shinjite agererun darou?before I can finally believe in myself?
Modoranai jikan mitsumete wa hikari ni se o mukeruStaring at time that won’t return, I turn my back on the light.
Hontou wa mottoIn truth, I just want to exist,
Kagirinaku aoku hiroku itaiendlessly blue and vast.
Ikutsumo no kizuato kazoerebaIf I count my endless scars,
Mou hitotsu fuete mo ki ni naran darou?one more wouldn’t even bother me, right?
Kore ga hijou ni mo sutoorii narabaIf this is just a cruel story,
Koko kara happii ni naru?does it get happy from here?
Shinjikiru no wa mou kantan ja naiBelieving completely isn’t easy anymore.
Demo ai toka futashikana mono nado wakarazu tomoBut even if I don’t understand uncertain things like love,
Risou no jibun nara…if it’s my ideal self…
Mitomete agete mite, nando demo aishiteI’ll try to accept them, and love them endlessly.
Hora okubyouna mirai to boku to soudaina buruu waLook, this cowardly future, myself, and the magnificent blue,
Sorezore chigau keshiki o mite ima o ikirueach see different landscapes as we live in the present.
Kono dadappiroi sora wa kudaranaku omoeteThis wide, empty sky seems so trivial,
Nanigenai ashiato ga bokurashiku hora irozuite mieruand my casual footsteps look just like me, beginning to take on color.
Ikizuku ma mo naku mawaru sekaiThe world spins without giving me a moment to breathe.
Jibun de eranda nagai endorooruIt’s a long end roll I chose for myself.
Waraenai joudan wa suruuI ignore the unfunny jokes,
Aiso mo tsukashite irualready losing my patience with them.
Ibasho wa nai?Is there no place for me?
Tamatta mon ja naiI just can’t stand it.
Demo ai toka futashikana mono nado wakarazu tomoBut even if I don’t understand uncertain things like love,
Kuchi ni dashichau hodo noeven if they almost spill from my mouth,
Utsumuku kotoba ni wa kizuite agetaiI want to acknowledge those downcast words.
Hora okubyouna mirai to boku to soudaina buruu waLook, this cowardly future, myself, and the magnificent blue,
Sorezore chigau keshiki o mite ima o ikirueach see different landscapes as we live in the present.
Kono dadappiroi sora wa kudaranaku omoeteThis wide, empty sky seems so trivial,
Nanigenai ashiato ga bokurashiku hora irozuite mieruand my casual footsteps look just like me, beginning to take on color.
Nakitai yoru waOn nights when I want to cry,
Hitori ja nai tte omoitaiI want to believe I’m not alone.
Sono merodii wa majika ni aruThat melody is right nearby.
Tsutaerareru kono mune waThis heart that can convey it,
Tashikani takanaruis certainly beating fast.
Hora okubyouna mirai to boku no soudaina buruu waLook, this cowardly future and my magnificent blue,
Sekai no rinkaku o toraete kirei da to iucapture the world’s outline and call it beautiful.
Kono dadappiroi sora wa kudaranaku omoeteThis wide, empty sky seems so trivial,
Nanigenai ashiato ga bokurashiku hora irozuite mieruand my casual footsteps look just like me, beginning to take on color.
Nee kore dake no ashiato ga kimi to nara hora nani iro ni mieru?Hey, if I’m with you, what color do you think all these footsteps will be?
