PUZZLE -Fit the Stars-

by AriteAL

連休も終わり学校や会社も始まったのではないでしょうか？ 忙しい日常に戻ると、大事なものを見落としてしまいがちです。

学生時代から社会人へと移り変わる中で、仲間や自分自身が少しずつ形を成していく様子を歌詞に込めました。

パズルのピースのような経験が誰かを支え、未来を描く手助けになる――そんな思いを感じてもらえたら嬉しいです。

“Have your school or work days started up again now that the holidays are over? Once we return to our busy routines, it's easy to lose sight of what's important. That's why I'd love for you to listen to my song, ‘PUZZLE.’ It captures the journey from student life into adulthood, showing how friends and each of us gradually find our own shape. I hope you’ll feel how these puzzle-piece-like experiences can support someone and help paint a brighter future.”

街の灯りがともる夕暮れ

交わす笑顔に色が宿る

友と描いた一瞬(ひととき)が

パズルの隅に夢を宿して

思い出巡る コートでの汗

窓辺の席で夢を語った

放課後に交わした約束

パズルもコンパスで重ね合い

もう迷わない ピースを探して

笑顔の中に誓うよ

形を変えてゆくたびに

大切な理由を胸に抱いて

あの日の微笑みと こぼれた涙も

いまは一つに溶けあう 君たちとならば

胸に刻まれた パズルの衝動

夜を越えてもほどけやしない

今でも君たちは わたしの光

あれから時は流れ オフィスの片隅で

交わす言葉は未来を描く

散らばるピースの行方さえ

いつかはつながると信じて

何を見つめていたの その瞳(め)の奥には

わたしの知ららない絵が　見えていた

どこかで君たちもきっと 大切なパズルを抱え

声をあげて笑ううちに 孤独を越えられるのなら

わたしの記憶はそっと 小さなピースでもいい

それほど大切に想うからこそ

今でも君たちは わたしの輝き

思い出よりも鮮やかに

君たちと笑い合った日々

あまりに大切すぎて

いまも息が詰まるほどさ

迷路みたいに入り組んだ道でも

進めばピースははまってゆく

たまに涙がこぼれても

それさえ一緒に作り上げたもの

あの日の笑顔も 涙にじんだ夜も

全部ひとつに重ね合う 君たちとだから

この胸に響く パズルの煌めき

流れ星が消えるまでは踊りたい

つないだピースが示す未来(あす)

今も君たちは わたしを彩る色

City lights glow in the evening dusk

Smiles we share are filled with color

Moments drawn with friends so close

Dreams lie in the corners of this puzzle

Sweat from memories on the court we played

By the window seat, we spoke of dreams

Promises made after school days

Puzzle pieces and compasses intertwined

No more wandering, searching for a piece

I swear within the smiles we keep

Each time shapes begin to change

Holding dear reasons close to my heart

The smiles from that day and the tears that fell

Now melt into one, when I'm with you all

The impulse of the puzzle etched in my heart

Even past the night, it won't come undone

Even now, you all are my light

Since then, time has flowed in a corner of the office

The words we exchange paint the future

Even the whereabouts of scattered pieces

I believe they'll connect someday

What were you staring at, deep in your eyes

I saw a picture I didn't know inside

Somewhere, you all surely hold precious puzzles

If laughing aloud can overcome the loneliness

My memories can be held gently, even small pieces are fine

Because I cherish them so much

Even now, you all are my shine

More vivid than memories

The days we laughed together

Too precious to measure

Even now, it feels like I'm suffocating

Even on paths tangled like a maze

If you keep moving forward, the pieces will fit

Sometimes tears may fall

But they're something we built together

The smiles from that day and the nights with teary eyes

All overlap as one, because it's with you

The sparkle of the puzzle echoes in my heart

I want to dance until the shooting stars disappear

The future shown by the connected pieces

Even now, you all are the colors that color me
