Discover the story of the song > Atemonaku – Aimer

In these lyrics, the protagonist is talking about a night where she was alone, surrounded by countless stars. Even now, if she closes her eyes, she can feel that moment right there. She continues to walk aimlessly, even when tired, because she wants to stay in the place where she can pray. She reaches out her hand, covered in wounds and dirt, wanting to grab a piece of her dreams and hopes. It's okay for her to keep smiling, she doesn't have to be strong. The protagonist believes that her gentle smile is enough. Her smile has the power to blow away the cloudy sky and become her strength. The important words she wants to convey are flying through the air. She wants to protect someone and have the courage to fight, but she knows that it doesn't have to be in one specific way. She used to hold onto someone's small finger and believed in their warmth. She just wants to softly touch their heart. It's okay for her to stop for a moment and it's okay for her pain to be carried away by her dried tears. The protagonist wants the straight kindness that can melt her frozen hand to become a bond and courage. She can hear voices in her connected heart. The important words she wants to convey are flying through the air. It's okay for her to keep smiling, she doesn't have to be strong. She wants her gentle smile to exist, because it gives her strength.
