Spiritual Dreams

Where did you throw away your dreams?
When did you forget your love?
No more tears will come from these eyes

I ‘ve heard this such a beautiful song and lyric titled Fujimoto’s Theme. The song was written in collaboration between veteran Ghibli composer Joe Hisaishi, with lyrics by the film’s supervisor Katsuya Kondō and director Hayao Miyazaki. My interpretation was the song is about the spiritual dreams, and full filing love in this life.  It’s like looking at Bernini’s work, mondrian’s painting, or hearing earth by down to earth manner.

Fujimoto’s Theme

Where did you throw away your dreams?
When did you forget your love?
No more tears will come from these eyes
The people living in pain
Atop this exhausted planet
Have forgotten all about that thing called “hope”
The city overflows with Gods
Who will not guide you
Where can I return?
If I hurt someone
I don’t want to be seen by anybody
So I go far away, alone
The ocean changes that vastness
The sky becomes too heavy to bear
And everything, everything changes
Women are capricious
And men do nothing but hurt
Closing their hearts off every time they fall in love
The city overflows with Gods
Who will not guide you
Where can I return?
Unlike women, the coral
Is beautiful and yet so ephemeral
And that’s why I want to protect it so
The ocean that envelops everything
Is a mother who forgives all
And that’s why I return to it, alone
