[Great Lyrics] BUMP OF CHICKEN’s Masterpieces That Comfort the Heart (21–30)

Hello,world!BUMP OF CHICKEN

A song used as the opening theme for the TV anime Blood Blockade Battlefront.

For many people, it probably evokes a strong impression of the anime.

While brilliantly recreating the story’s worldview, it’s a very BUMP-like track that opens up brightly toward the chorus.

It’s also recommended for those who want to boost their mood when they’re feeling stuck.

A Chronicle of Struggles with SortingBUMP OF CHICKEN

With a title and lyrics that plainly sing about sorting and throwing away trash, “The Sorting Struggles.” But of course, it’s not just about garbage—it’s a story about “dreams we gave up.” Many of us may think we’ve given up on a dream, only to find it still lingering in our hearts.

This song may make you realize your true feelings—and move you to tears before you know it.

[Great Lyrics] BUMP OF CHICKEN’s Heartfelt Masterpieces (31–40)

Lost ManBUMP OF CHICKEN

One of BUMP’s hallmarks is a sound and lyrics that slip straight into your heart, making listeners think, “Is this about me?” Lost Man also has that quality, capturing the hearts of people in all kinds of situations—those tired of everyday life, those troubled by love, and more.

It’s a song I’d recommend to anyone who doesn’t know which way to go and is searching for something to hold on to.

Glass BluesBUMP OF CHICKEN

Several BUMP OF CHICKEN songs feature cats in their lyrics, and Glass no Blues is one of them.

Told from a cat’s perspective, it’s a fan favorite.

Though the melody is sprightly, the song speaks straight to the heart, and I highly recommend it to anyone feeling a bit lost.

Hammer Song and the Tower of PainBUMP OF CHICKEN

This song leaves a striking impression with its distinct guitar arrangement.

While it has the kind of storytelling typical of BUMP OF CHICKEN, the lyrics are gripping—almost piercing in their conviction—and make for a fascinating listen.

To grasp the meaning of the abstract lyrics, you might need to listen repeatedly and revisit the words.

Savor the language, and try to feel what the song truly wants to convey.

It’s a hidden masterpiece by BUMP that sings about the relationship between oneself and others—those who are precious to us.

If we were one with someone important, no hardships would arise; yet there are also miracles that happened precisely because we are two.

The lyrics, which plainly convey such a philosophical message, pierce deeply into the heart.

It’s a song that lets you directly feel the pure emotion of “just one smile from someone important is enough to make me happy.”

“Little Braver,” included on BUMP OF CHICKEN’s first album, FLAME VEIN.

It’s a fan favorite that has been performed live since the early days.

“Braver” means “hero.” It’s a quintessential BUMP masterpiece that blends gentleness with strength.
