What does it mean by 涙を預けて?


I heard this expression from 7!!(Seven Oops)'s song "Orange". I don't
understand what it mean by 涙を預けて.




It's not an idiomatic phrase at all, and it's hard to guess, really. But
judging from [the whole
lyrics](https://www.musixmatch.com/ja/lyrics/7-6/%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AC%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B8-Orange),
I guess the phrase basically says "I won't cry over this separation any more
after this sunset (＝"オレンジ" here)".

Aside from the primary meaning ( _to deposit_ something so that one can
withdraw afterwards), 預ける also means "to let others decide completely", "to
delegate", "to leave something up to someone", etc.

So I think 「沈む夕焼け オレンジに染まる街に涙を預ける」 can be understood as something like "My
tears will go away with this sunset" or "I'll leave my tears in this orange
town forever". Obviously he doesn't want to "take back" his tears.

That's how I felt, but I would like to hear opinions from others.
