Title : 明るい夜を歩く

by AriteAL

−−Please look below for the English lyrics.−−

街の灯りも眠った頃に

こぼれた言葉は波音に変わってく

夜をゆらす

ひとり迎えた夜明け前に

ふいに聞こえる微かなノイズ

二人が失くした約束は

まぶたの裏でぼんやり揺れた

どっちが悪いとか

今さらね

答えは夜に溶けたまま

消えたの

明るい夜をなんどでも歩いて

迷子のままの二人でも

街角の灯り頼りに進んでくの

優しくないね 夜は

ため息が

ふわり揺れて落ちる前に

もう一度

ひとり歩いた帰り道で

誰かの影を探してたの

二人が信じた未来図が

胸の奥をちくりと刺した

あなたのせいとか

違うよね

私のせいかもね

知らないわ

どこにでもある恋でしょう

そんなクールに割り切れないのよ

ちぐはぐな足音 重ねながらも

星屑みたいな夢ばかり

キラリ輝いたあの日々さえ

優しく霞んでく

明るい夜をまた独り歩いて

出口のない迷路だって

ラジオの雑音に導かれ進むのよ

声にもできないまま

胸の奥

密かに灯った願いが

揺れている

優しかった時間が

苦しみに変わるなら

戻れない道を

なぜ振り向いてしまうの？

明るい夜を何度でも歩いて

まだ見えない明日に向け

滲んだ灯りを頼りに歩いてくの

耳を澄ませばほら何か

聞こえるよ

いつかは二人笑っていられると

いつかはまた会える日を

信じているから言葉を探してるの

街の灯が優しく

滲んでる

静かに明ける空ね

この曲は「明るい夜」という矛盾した情景を通じ、孤独や別れを抱えながらも微かな希望を信じて前に進む心情を描いています。ひとりとふたり、孤独とつながり、絶望と希望が交錯する中で、人間関係の不完全さや心の葛藤を浮かび上がらせます。夜明け前の淡い光に導かれるように、不安や寂しさを抱えつつ、それでも歩き続ける姿を繊細に映した楽曲です。

At the hour the city lights drift into sleep

The words I let slip turn into ocean waves

And softly shake the night

Before dawn greets me on my own

A subtle static whispers in the air

That promise we misplaced, forgotten by two

Sways behind my tired eyelids

Who really went astray

I wonder now

Answers dissolve into darkness

Vanishing away

I walk this bright night over and over

Even if we're both lost along the way

Guided by a faint streetlamp glow, I press on

This night’s not gentle, is it?

One quiet sigh

Floats and flickers before it falls

One more time

Wandering alone on my way back home

Searching for a silhouette I can't quite find

The future we once believed in together

Lightly pricks a tender place inside

Is it all your fault then?

That can’t be right

Could it be mine instead?

I just don’t know

Love stories like this are everywhere

But I can’t stay that cool and walk away

Our footsteps mismatch yet still overlap

Like stardust dreams shining so vividly

Even those gleaming days we cherished

Fade so gently now

Again I walk this bright night all by myself

A maze with no end, but I’ll keep on

Following a voice lost inside radio noise

Words remain unspoken still

Deep in my heart

A secret wish quietly burning

Wavers at the core

It’d be so easy if everything was forgivable

But if those gentle days

Should turn into pain,

Why do I stop to look back

When there's no way to return?

I’ll keep walking this bright night again and again

Heading toward a morning still unseen

Maybe if I

Listen close, there’s something out there

Calling to me

Someday we might laugh side by side again

Someday I’m sure we’ll meet once more

That faith in tomorrow makes me search for words

When night begins to unravel

I glance behind

The city lights glow tenderly

Soft and blurred

The sky awakens, calm and slow

This song captures the delicate emotions of moving forward despite loneliness and loss, expressed through the paradoxical image of a "bright night." By contrasting solitude with connection, and despair with quiet hope, it explores the complex imperfections of human relationships and internal struggles. Guided softly by the faint light before dawn, the lyrics portray someone continuing to walk forward, even while embracing uncertainty, longing, and sadness.
