ソラニン (solanin)

The song 'ソラニン (solanin)' by yonige delves into the bittersweet nature of farewells and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of nostalgia and the inevitable changes that life brings. The opening lines, 'おもいちがいはそらのかなた / さよならだけのじんせいか,' suggest a sense of disillusionment and the realization that life is often a series of goodbyes. Despite glimpsing a bit of the future, the protagonist acknowledges that farewells are an unavoidable part of life.

The song reflects on past experiences and relationships, as seen in the lines 'むかしすんでたちいさなへやは / いまはだれかがすんでんだ.' This evokes a sense of loss and the passage of time, as the small room once inhabited by the protagonist is now occupied by someone else. The mention of 'ひどいことば' (harsh words) from a past relationship adds to the emotional weight, highlighting the lingering impact of hurtful memories.

The recurring theme of 'さよなら' (goodbye) is central to the song, symbolizing both an end and a new beginning. The lyrics 'たとえばゆるいしあわせが / だらっとつづいたとする / きっとわるいたねがめをだして / もうさよならなんだ' suggest that even moments of happiness are fleeting and can give way to farewells. The song concludes with a sense of acceptance and resilience, as the protagonist bids farewell and resolves to move forward, 'さよなら、それもいいさ / どこかでげんきでやれよ / さよなら、ぼくもどうにかやるさ / さよなら、そうするよ.' This final message underscores the inevitability of change and the importance of embracing it with strength and hope.
