他の誰かに当てられたライトその後ろの明かりを取り合いしても
レンズの向こうは色さえも滲んでいる
流れる言葉に委ねてもくぐれない出口にぶつかるだけ
舵の取れない船から落ちる

綺麗事敷いた逃げ場が透ける
悔しさを認める君と旅へ

どんな翼でも広げてみればいい自分だけが乗る風を掴む空
次から次へ変わっていくとしてもそこから始められる
僕らの描いた大人の掌捨てる事じゃない争う訳じゃない
乾いた街でそびえ立つ木のような
心を抱きしめた君たち

憧れの背中に問いかけても振り返り微笑んでくれはしない
横に並べば同じ顔をしているだろう
触れた覚悟が揺れてても誤魔化さないわがままで抑えれば
いつもの今日が違う目をしている

夜明けを見てる星が寝る空
陽射しと雨の次を浴びせる

どんな翼でも広げてみればいい自分だけが乗る風を掴む空
次から次へ変わっていくとしてもそこから始められる
僕らの描いた大人の掌捨てる事じゃない争う訳じゃない
乾いた街でそびえ立つ木のような
心を抱きしめた君たち

Light and dreams that children hold tight
Now you have them in your right hand

どんな翼でも広げてみればいい自分だけが乗る風を掴む空
次から次へ変わっていくとしてもそこから始められる
僕らの描いた大人の掌捨てる事じゃない争う訳じゃない
乾いた街でそびえ立つ木のような
心を抱きしめた君たち

Light and dreams that children hold tight
Now you have them in your right hand

Aimer (エメ Eme, [eme]) is a Japanese pop singer and lyricist signed to SME Records and managed by FOURseam. Her name comes from the verb “Aimer” in French which means “to love”.

Aimer grew up around music and has a strong music background. Her father is a bassist in a band and she began studying piano in elementary school. She held Ringo Sheena and Utada Hikaru up to be her role models. In her years of junior high, Avril Lavigne inspired her to study guitar and begin writing English lyrics. At the age of fifteen, Aimer lost her voice due to the over-usage of her vocal chords, prompting her to undergo silence therapy to treat her condition. Fortunately, she recovered and the incident resulted in acquiring her signature husky voice.

Aimer started her career with a group called Agehasprings to collaborate on writing, producing and distributing music to various artists, including Yuki, Mika Nakashima, Flumpool, Superfly, Yuzu and Genki Rockets. She released her first album in May 2011 titled “Your favorite things” comprised of various genres like jazz and country western music. Though, Aimer went on to provide a signature genre of pop rock under her name, with her songs being featured in Japanese animes.
