Fragile
Embracing Life's Fragility: Maia Hirasawa's Poignant Reflection
Lyrics
I just got a call from the hospital
Received information from the hospital about an incident.
They said you were okay, just some broken bones
Confirmation that the person in question has some broken bones.
They said you'll be alright,
Assurance from the hospital that the person will recover.
that minute I realized
Realization moment about the vulnerability of life.
That what's inside
Recognition that internal emotions and truths cannot be concealed.
we can never hide and we're so
Emphasis on human vulnerability and openness.
Fragile, one minute
Expression of life's fleeting nature and vulnerability.
you're alive the next you're not
Highlighting the suddenness of life changes, from life to death.
There's a heart pumping inside of us
Acknowledgment of the existence of a vital organ (heart).
It can decide to stop
The unpredictability of life, where the heart can cease to function.
One minute you're alive, the next you're not
Reiteration of the abruptness of life transitions.
Got a text from you at the hospital
Communication from the person at the hospital expressing fear.
You said you were afraid to losing it all
Fear of losing everything becomes apparent.
You said you'd just realized again,
Recollection of a promise made, indicating self-realization.
what you promised before to never forget
Acknowledgment of the ease with which promises can be forgotten.
It's too easy to forget, that we're so
Reiteration of human fragility and forgetfulness.
Fragile, one minute
Repetition of the theme of life's fragility.
you're alive the next you're not
Reiteration of the suddenness of life changes, emphasizing vulnerability.
There's a heart pumping inside of us
Recognition of the heart as a critical, yet fragile, organ.
It can decide to stop
Reiteration of the heart's power to cease functioning abruptly.
One minute you're alive, the next you're not
Repetition of the idea of life's abrupt transitions.
The next you're not
Emphasis on the finality of life's unpredictable changes.
I was so afraid that day you see
Personal experience of fear and distress on that particular day.
My eyes got black,
Physical and emotional impact of fear, as evidenced by blackened eyes.
my head thick, my words drier
Physical symptoms of distress: thick head and dry words.
I didn't even know that a piece of me
Unawareness of losing a part of oneself during the fearful event.
Already left to you,
Realization that a part of the self was already given to the other person.
it was already yours to keep
Acknowledgment that this part of oneself belongs to the other person.
