夏の影 (Summer Shadow) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
A soft summer breeze sways the season, carrying a peaceful feeling, but the long shadows show that the day and this moment won’t last forever. In sweaty clothes, there’s talk about the future, as if time will wait, even though it quietly keeps moving.

[Pre-Chorus]
Life drifts forward so slowly that it’s almost invisible, yet it never stops.

[Chorus]
It’s easier to blame the summer heat for a racing heart than to admit real emotions. The summer shadows also take the blame, as melted ice mixes with passing time, turning simple moments into treasured memories.

[Verse 2]
The breeze sways the summer again, and the sun-browned skin feels like it’s powerful enough to move the clouds. Innocent smiles seem like they could last forever, but deep down there’s a question of how long they truly can.

[Pre-Chorus]
Bit by bit, without even realizing it, we’re stepping closer to adulthood.

[Chorus]
The buzzing cicadas and summer shadows become excuses to keep certain words unsaid. There’s a quiet wish for the ice in the glass, and the time it represents, to stay frozen a little longer before it melts away completely.

[Bridge]
The days from that summer still live vividly in the mind, like they’re playing behind closed eyes. That was the summer of falling in love, and even now there’s a hope that somewhere out there, the same breeze from back then is touching the person who once meant so much.

[Outro]
There’s a gentle wish that this hope is real.
