Betelgeuse

The song "Betelgeuse" by Yuuri is a poetic exploration of human connection, resilience, and the passage of time, using the metaphor of the distant star Betelgeuse to illustrate these themes. The lyrics describe two people looking up at the sky, finding comfort and guidance in the stars, much like they find in each other. The star Betelgeuse, known for its brightness and significant distance from Earth, serves as a symbol for something eternal and ever-present, much like the bond between the two individuals.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of overcoming challenges together ('butsukari atte' - clashing against each other) and making promises to shine together under the same sky. The lyrics suggest that, like the light of a star that travels across time to reach us long after the star itself may have changed, the impact of a relationship can be enduring. The song also touches on the idea of legacy ('dareka ni tsunagu mahou' - magic that connects to someone else), implying that the bond and memories created between people can be passed on and inspire others.

The comforting reassurance offered in the song ('boku ga yoko ni iru yo' - I will be by your side) speaks to the human need for companionship and support. The invisible line that connects us ('mienai sen o tsunagou' - let's connect the invisible line) could be interpreted as the unseen emotional ties that bind people together, transcending physical distance and time, much like the light of Betelgeuse that reaches across the cosmos to be seen by us on Earth.
