Embracing Growth: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Kim Churchill's 'Komorebi'
Lyrics
Light In the trees, stars in the sky.
Light and beauty are present in nature, symbolized by trees and stars.
See her in dreams from time to time.
The narrator sees a woman in his dreams occasionally.
She can see me for what I am,
The woman understands the narrator for who he is.
light in the trees, away I ran.
The narrator, represented by "light in the trees," runs away.
Driving north, where? I couldn’t say.
The narrator is uncertain about his destination while heading north.
Learning to care just for today.
Learning to live in the present moment.
All of it blooms, all of it dies.
All aspects of life have cycles of growth and decay.
What can we do but keep light in our eyes.
Despite life's challenges, one should maintain optimism and light in their eyes.
Crying in the arms of someone you know you are leaving leaves a time for thinking on your own.
Crying while leaving someone provides a time for introspection.
All at once I realise that I must grow to be someone thats stronger than I was in her arms.
The realization that personal growth is necessary to become stronger.
Light in the trees, love in her eyes.
Reiteration of beauty in nature and love in the woman's eyes.
Fear came’ took me here by surprise.
Fear unexpectedly arrives, disrupting the serene atmosphere.
Moon on the sea - Alight like the day.
The moon on the sea is compared to daylight, suggesting illumination even in solitude.
Alone I must be, alone in this way.
The narrator recognizes the inevitability of being alone in his journey.
Lying in the dark up late at night I get to thinking I’m afraid of what is yet to come.
Nighttime reflections reveal fear of the unknown future.
All at once I realise that I must grow to be someone thats stronger than I was in her arms.
Reiteration of the need for personal growth after leaving someone's embrace.
I was in her arms.
A reminder of the past embrace and the emotions associated with it.
