Meaning
The lyrics you’ve provided seem to be from a song that delves into themes of self-discovery, empowerment, and the exploration of a virtual or metaphysical world. Here’s a brief interpretation of the lyrics:
1. “迷い込んだ光をかき分けて / 分割误入的光” – This line suggests a journey through confusion or darkness, searching for clarity or a way out.
2. “探してたはずのものも忘れていった / Even what I was supposed to find, I’ve forgotten” – This could represent losing sight of one’s purpose or goals.
3. “違うどこかで目覚めを待つ自分がいたんだ / There was a self waiting to awaken somewhere different” – This hints at a sense of potential and the possibility of a different self waiting to be discovered.
4. “Rise and be fearless. META is here.” – A call to courage and the introduction of the concept of ‘META’, which could refer to the metaverse or a metaphor for a new beginning.
5. “歯軋りで埋まった世界 / A world filled with gritting teeth” – This might describe a world of struggle or tension.
6. “描いた通りに動くはfiction / It’s fiction to move as I pictured” – This line suggests that reality doesn’t always align with our expectations or dreams.
7. “今までの現実の向こうへと / Beyond the reality I’ve known” – This indicates a desire to break through the limitations of one’s current experience.
8. “Awaken in another world with light.” – A recurring theme of awakening or being reborn in a new world, guided by light.
9. “Take them all. What I noticed is mine.” – This could be about claiming ownership over one’s experiences and perceptions.
10. “Grab them all. Make it up and realize.” – This suggests seizing opportunities and making one’s dreams a reality.
The song seems to be about breaking free from constraints, both physical and metaphorical, and stepping into a new reality where anything is possible. The repeated lines about awakening in another world with light suggest a transformational journey towards self-actualization and empowerment. The term ‘META’ likely serves as a symbol for this new world or state of being.
