"Iroha" is a song of the ephemerarity of life. Life is in constant motion, where nothing stands still; nothing is forever. This is not a fact of melancholic sadness, but a beautiful thought where life is like a dream; the mesmerizing fleeting moment.

Flowers will bloom, and even though we know that is it not forever, their beauty still stuns. Sometimes we need to put distance between ourselves and life which moves in its curious ways.

いろはにほへどちりぬるを、、、色は匂へど散りぬるを　我が世誰そ常ならむ

有為の奥山けふこえて　浅き夢みし酔ひもせすん
