Kimi Wo Tsurete Iku

GranSazer's song 'Kimi Wo Tsurete Iku' is a poignant exploration of sacrifice, determination, and the pursuit of dreams. The lyrics convey a deep sense of commitment and resilience, as the protagonist is willing to endure hardships and setbacks to achieve their goals. The imagery of 'white wings' getting dirty symbolizes the willingness to face challenges and get 'dirty' in the process of striving for one's dreams. This metaphor highlights the purity of the protagonist's intentions and the inevitable trials that come with the journey.

The song also delves into the emotional aspect of this journey. The protagonist speaks of calling their struggles 'happiness' to keep moving forward, even if it means putting on a brave face. This reflects a common human experience where people often mask their pain and struggles with a facade of contentment. The lyrics suggest that the protagonist's ultimate goal is to bring happiness to someone else, which adds a layer of selflessness to their determination. The repeated mention of walking barefoot, despite being seen as 'pitiful' by others, underscores the protagonist's unwavering resolve and belief in their path, no matter how difficult it may seem to outsiders.

As the song progresses, there is a sense of bittersweet realization. Despite the protagonist's efforts and promises, the distance between them and their dreams, as well as the person they wish to make happy, seems to grow. The final lines reveal a poignant twist: upon reaching the promised place, the person they longed to bring along is no longer there. This ending adds a layer of melancholy to the song, emphasizing the sometimes harsh reality that not all dreams come true as envisioned, and the sacrifices made along the way can lead to unexpected outcomes.
