Seahorse Meaning & Lyrics (Shiki)
Akari pens a story of drifting memories and emotional bonds. One line stands out: ‘Look, my memories are drifting further away, filling the space while floating in mid-air.’ The songwriter uses images of mist and twinkling light to describe the fleeting nature of thoughts and feelings.
Wasurekaketeita yakusoku toA promise I’d nearly forgotten,
Shizukana hajimari no yokanand the feeling of a quiet beginning
Eien no nemuri no you niJust like an eternal sleep,
Megurimeguru kisetsu wathe seasons keep cycling through
Hito to tsunaguConnecting me with others,
Kono hiroi sekai o kanjite oyoguI’m swimming through this vast world while feeling it all
Nandomo nandomoagain and again.
DoushiteWhy
Yume ni made detekita no kadid you even show up in my dreams like that?
Matataku hikari ni te o kazashiteI shade my eyes against the twinkling light,
Toozakaru wa kioku ga horalook, my memories are drifting further away,
Mitashite chuu ni uiteta yofilling the space while floating in mid-air.
Toozakaru wa kioku ga horaLook, the memories are drifting further away,
Mitashite chuu ni uiteta yofilling the space while floating in mid-air.

Nandomo nandomoagain and again.
Toozakaru wa kioku ga horaLook, my memories are drifting further away,

Kimi ga iru kimi ga iru yoyou’re really there, you’re right there.
