精一杯のサヨナラ Seiippai No Sayonara (Love Letter) - Lyrics Translation
[At the end of it.]
今思えば何もかもすべて君はわかっていたのかも
Ima omoeba nanimokamo subete kimiwa wakatteitanokamo
In hindsight, perhaps you’d seen through it all.
それに気付かず暢気な顔してほら君を抱きしめてた...
Soreni kizukazu nonkina kaoshite hora kimiwo dakishimeteta…
Without realizing it, I was just holding you with a carefree look on my face
いつも僕のそばにいてくれた君は微笑みながら泣いていた
Itsumo bokuno sobani itekureta kimiwa ( Read more... )
You know what, as much as he's so very present/future orienteded, as a person, always saying ew shold live so good so we have nothing to regret in the end, so many of his songs are talking about people lingering in the past, not being able to forget or let go, regreting... And while the hope is there, yeah, it's the hope for the past to continue and nor really a hope for a new start... It got kinda complicated. Hmmm... I guess as much as we all aspire to look into the future, noone can go pass regret...

I don't know, but if G's anything like me in this, he probably doesn't regret a whole lot of things, not in the sense that he wants to go back and redo things in life.
I do sometimes feel a sense of sadness about how I handled things or how things went, but in the end, I don't want to go back and change anything because I believe those things happened for a reason, and I am here as a result of all those things for a reason, as well.
GACKT is very present/future-oriented, yes! And he knows that the future depends on the quality of the present moment you live. He can be such an idiot sometimes, but he can also be incredibly wise, ne. ^^

And the regret I mentioned in the last sentence was not in the sense of wanting to “correct” things, since for me regret is not just that... It's also that sadness you are talking about... I mean I regret some things I did (or didn't do) in my life, but I still wouldn’t really want to change them since they are part of the person I am now without them I wouldn’t be... well me... But thinking now my perception of "regret" might be a bit strange?xD
Sorry that sentence in my first comment became such a conglomerate of unclear thoughts... I was just somehow having difficulties putting my feelings at the moment into words, since I was trying to explain them as they came and at break at work orz xD...

No, no problem at all. I do understand what you mean, and I do think G lets himself (and his characters) indulge in regret in his songs, too. I mean, good songs are often about regrets and sadness, ne. X'3
