Rhapsody Meaning & Lyrics (Billy Boo)

KAZUKI UJIIE mentions dry winds and puddles reflecting a clear blue sky, using them to symbolize a fresh start. The poet describes opening a locked key in the heart to follow a rhythm toward a brighter tomorrow. ‘I’ll jump over hurdles, one, two,’ shows determination to move forward.

Kawaita kaze to kagerou ga yureteDry winds and heat haze sway in the air,
Kyou wa itsumo to chigau michi wo nukerutoday I’m taking a different path than usual.
Kakato narasu keikai na suteppu deWith a light step clicking my heels,
Donna kinou mo nurikaete ikeru eyI can paint over any version of yesterday, ey.
Kurikaesu nanmon bakari no lifeLife’s just a cycle of difficult problems,
Rasen meiro ochiteku eyeseyes falling deep into a spiral maze,
Soko ni wa nani mo aryashinai nonieven though there’s nothing there at all.
Iyafon kara wa ano nanbaaThat track’s playing through my earphones,
Bad mind wa osarabaso I’m saying goodbye to this bad mood.
Kigatsukeba kietetta ano sora eBefore I knew it, it’d vanished into that sky.
Odoru hanauta kanaderuI’m humming a dancing tune,
Boku dake no rapusodiperforming my very own rhapsody.
Mune no uchi ni kaketa kagi woThe key I’d locked away inside my heart,
Akete ikou hirari kaze no fuku mamaI’ll open it up and let the breeze take me,
Yuku saki wa hitotsu kirari hikaru ashita ewith only one destination: a sparkling tomorrow.
Asufaruto kinou no mizutamariPuddles from yesterday sit on the asphalt,
Utsuru no wa sunda aozorareflecting nothing but a clear blue sky.
Ashimoto wo miru koto waLooking down at where I’m walking
Warui koto bakka janaiisn’t always such a bad thing.
Mune odorasu keikai na biito niTo the light beat that’s got my heart dancing,
Awasete hitotsu futatsu tobikoeru eyI’ll jump over hurdles, one, two, ey.
Furikaeru machigai bakari no lifeLooking back on a life full of mistakes.
Dasei darake nante daseeBeing stuck in a rut’s just uncool,
Sonna sutansu wa sutetchimaouso I’m gonna throw that attitude away.
Kyutto koukaku agete saI’ll pull the corners of my mouth into a smile,
Bad mind wa osarabasaying goodbye to this bad mood,
Waraitobasu no sa kono sora eand laughing it all off into the sky.
Odoru hanauta kanaderuI’m humming a dancing tune,
Boku dake no rapusodiperforming my very own rhapsody.
Mune no uchi ni kaketa kagi woThe key I’d locked away inside my heart,
Akete ikou kizamu ashi no muku mamaI’ll open it up and follow my rhythm,
Yuku saki wa hitotsu kirari hikaru ashita ewith only one destination: a sparkling tomorrow.
Ah hibi no katasumi deAh, in the corners of my daily life,
Kokoro ga odoru you na kyou woI’m searching for a today that makes my soul dance.
Sou ima kara sagashidasuYeah, I’m gonna find it right now,
Ukairo no saki ni aruat the end of this detour,
Boku dake no yuutopia womy very own utopia.
Odoru hanauta kanaderuI’m humming a dancing tune,
Boku dake no rapusodiperforming my very own rhapsody.
Mune no uchi ni kaketa kagi woThe key I’d locked away inside my heart,
Akete ikou hirari kaze no fuku mamaI’ll open it up and let the soft breeze take me,
Yuku saki wa hitotsu kirari hikaru ashita ewith only one destination: a sparkling tomorrow.
