「この時間が止まってしまえば」なんて
思うこともあったけれど
動いている時間にこそ
意味があって、「生きていたい」って。
雨を知って晴れと出会って
僕らの孤独を分け合うように。
それでもまだ、癒えないなにか
抱えて、僕ら、生きている。
行き場のない孤独に騙されて、
それでも生きていくしかなくて。
ただ歩く日々に躓いて、
それでも誰かを愛して。
最後まで笑顔のあなたに
かける言葉はありふれたもので
君のいない世界は今日も
相も変わらず、ただ、廻ってゆく。
僕らは、花を探している。
枯れない花を探している。
定めに委ねるその花は
僕らに愛を教えてくれるだろう。
僕らは死にゆくだろう。
喜びも、悲しみも、全て残して。
ただ歩く日々は続いてゆく
だけど僕は、生きていたいから。
ただ歩く日々で巡り合えて
僕は、それだけで。

Memento mori
Matchstick
This is Matchstick's 8th single for distribution.
The song depicts Jö's determination to face death through the separation of family, friends, and former teachers, and to live with the theme of "meeting in the limited time".
The development of the song is a little different from the usual Jpop, with its ups and downs, which represents the waves of life.
The jacket is a photo of fukujuso flowers taken in Kanomizu, Yamagata Prefecture, a place associated with Jö, which is also the setting for the song "Mamoritaimono wa arukai" (What's important to you?).
