Haruka (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The song kicks off with a heavy tone, saying goodbye to Haruka. The artist is grieving and expressing that it feels way too soon to die. Despite the pain, there’s a push to keep going, as if he’s gathering strength to keep living and fighting. It’s a moment of emotional buildup, like a deep breath before letting everything out.

[Verse 1]
The artist starts by describing a scene full of violence and trauma, maybe from a past event that’s still haunting him. The blood in the car shows the aftermath of something painful. He mentions spitting into a manhole, maybe symbolizing frustration or getting rid of negativity. Hip-hop and rap are his way of surviving—his direction in life. He has no tolerance for fake people in the game and says he’ll burn out anything that feels dishonest. He talks about Haruka’s fight to live and how she didn’t make it, but now that she’s gone, he carries both of their stories. Life feels long and hard, and he’s not here to fake smiles or play nice. The world around him feels full of selfish or lifeless people. Even small things, like tripping on a rock, irritate him—maybe because life feels so unfair. He questions fate and says he’ll challenge it instead of just accepting it. Like koi fish swimming against the current, he’s determined to push through, gain wisdom, and use that to fuel his art. Writing lyrics isn’t just a job—it’s how he proves he’s still here, and it’s his way of honoring those who aren’t, including Haruka.

[Chorus]
He imagines Haruka’s soul crossing into the afterlife, maybe greeted by Enma, the judge of the dead in Japanese folklore. There’s a river people are said to cross when they die—probably the Sanzu River—and he pictures someone close to him already waiting there, having a barbecue, adding a personal and warm twist to death. If he ever met God, he says the first thing he’d do is apologize—not for doing wrong, but for trying so hard to live his dream. He reflects on how living with that level of intensity, like pushing yourself until you break, would even leave a divine being like Enma speechless.

[Verse 2]
Here, the artist talks about Haruka’s final day—how she held on until the end and passed away peacefully. He sharply contrasts that with how many people in society seem to waste their lives, like zombies, doing nothing with real meaning. He thinks Haruka would be angry seeing people live so lazily when she had to fight so hard just to stay alive. He remembers how she used to smoke and make music, trying to get noticed online. Even though she wasn’t famous, he was paying attention. That’s why he believes this song will somehow reach her. He talks about how nothing could cure her cancer—not even risky underground drügs—and how he never saw her after the disease took over her body. But through music, her spirit lives on. He plans to send her this song, even if he has to go crazy doing it. He’s ready to do whatever it takes—crawl if he must, hustle hard, and make money—because creating lyrics is his way of proving he’s alive and that she’s not forgotten.

[Chorus]
Once again, he pictures Haruka arriving in the afterlife, welcomed by Enma and heading toward the Sanzu River. He adds that if there’s a barbecue going on there, it’s probably his people—adding a touch of warmth and familiarity to death. He’d still apologize to God for living so hard and chasing dreams every day. He reflects again on how intense her life was—that kind of effort and struggle would impress even a god who sees everything.
