Yasashisa
Hanami • From “Overture”
What is the meaning of Yasashisa Lyrics from Overture?
Hanami starts by describing a person worn down by forced positivity. The narrator admits their words fall apart, and the phrase ‘I’m okay’ (Daijoubu to iu serifu ga) had become a hollow habit. This poet watches love fade away while questioning their own sense of justice in a narrow world.
Yasashisa ni tsukarete shimatteI’ve grown so tired of kindness,
Katayotta semai sekai ni tatazumustanding still in this narrow, biased world.
Nani mo shitai ga seigi da toBelieving that my own desires are justice,
Kotoba ga katachi naku kuzurete kumy words crumble away, losing their shape.
Mada shinjiteru noAre you still believing,
Kokoro no dokoka desomewhere deep in your heart?
Mada shinjireru noCan you still hold onto that belief?
Mou sukoshi dakeJust a little bit longer.
Nozomanu tomoEven if I don’t wish for it,
Susumu byoushin gathe advancing second hand,
Kuuhaku o kizande ikukeeps carving out empty spaces.
Namida wa mou karete shimatta noMy tears have already dried up entirely.
Anata wa shitte iru no kanaI wonder if you even know.
Daijoubu to iu serifu gaThe phrase ‘I’m okay’,
Kuchiguse ni nattetahad become nothing but a habit.
Shiranai furi demo ii kara saIt’s fine if you just pretend you don’t notice,
Konya wa tonari ni isasetebut let me stay by your side tonight.
Tadashisa ni kurande shimatteBlinded by the pursuit of what is right,
Samayotta hate no sekai ni tatazumuI stand in a world at the end of my wandering.
Wakari mo shinai de seigi da nanteCalling it justice without even understanding it,
Shizundeku ai o mitsumeteruI watch as love slowly sinks away.
Nagareboshi wa kittoThe shooting stars must be,
Kiki akita deshoutired of hearing my wishes by now.
Arikita ri demoEven if it’s just ordinary,
Douka mo kono mamaplease, let it stay exactly like this.
Nozomanu tomoEven if I don’t wish for it,
Susumu byoushin gathe advancing second hand,
Kuuhaku o kizande ikukeeps carving out empty spaces.
Kore de ii no kore de yokatta noIs this okay? Was this really the right choice?
Anata wa naite kureru kanaI wonder if you’ll cry for me.
Hieta yubi deWith freezing fingers,
Kizamu sayonara oI type out a goodbye,
Nando mo keshite iru noand erase it over and over again.
Namida wa mou ame ni kawatta noMy tears have already turned into a pouring rain.
Anata wa shitte iru no kanaI wonder if you even know.
Daijoubu to iu serifu gaThe phrase ‘I’m okay’,
Uso ni somatte ikuis becoming deeply tainted with lies.
Shiranai furi demo ii kara saIt’s fine if you just pretend you don’t notice,
Saigo wa tonari de nakasetebut let me cry by your side at the very end.
Dame kanaIs that too much to ask?
