What is the meaning of Sangenshoku Lyrics from SUPERNOVA?
Anri Endo writes about memories turning from blue to yellow, mixing the past with the present. ‘I’ll give meaning to the days and red blood to me,’ she notes, showing how life’s moments shape us. The poet uses colors like green and black to describe growth and renewal.
Sora no iro wa doushite aoku mieru no darou kaWhy does the sky’s color look so blue, I wonder?
Kioku wa kiiroku yakete shimau no darou kaI wonder if my memories will eventually burn into a faded yellow.
Aoi hibi wa marude moeru you na hageshisaThose blue days of youth were intense, almost as if they were on fire.
Kiiroi koe agete umareta kioku no shizukesaThere’s a stillness in the memories born from those ‘high-pitched shouts’.
Ao to kiiro ga mazariatteBlue and yellow blend together,
Dekita midori ni wa hana woand for the green they’ve made, I’ll give it flowers.
Hana ni wa mizu wo boku ni wa yume woI’ll give water to the flowers and dreams to myself.
Zero ni tashite ima wo kaketeAdding to zero and betting on the present,
Nagareru akai chi no youit’s just like the red blood flowing through me.
Sen wo hiite kara wo watteI’ll draw a line and break out of my shell,
Saita hana no moyoushowing the pattern of a flower in full bloom.
Tsunagete ishiki fude wo motteI’ll connect my consciousness and pick up a brush,

Aoi sora ni ito no you na kumo ga ugoiteThread-like clouds move across the blue sky,
Kiiroi koe agete umareta omoi ga shizuka nias the feelings born from those ‘high-pitched shouts’ grow quiet.

Hibi ni wa imi wo boku ni akai chi woI’ll give meaning to the days and red blood to me.
Ima mitashite ima ni kaketeI’ll fill the moment and bet on the present,
Nagashita namida no youjust like the tears I’ve shed.

Me ni mieru you ni saI’ll make sure it’s visible to the eye,
Egaite ikuand I’ll keep on painting it.
