Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
全て捨ててしまえたらいいのにね
現実はただ残酷で
そんな時いつだって 目を閉じれば
笑ってる君がいる
Ah いつか永遠の眠りにつく日まで
どうかその笑顔が 絶え間なくある様に
人間は皆悲しいかな
忘れゆく 生き物だけど
愛すべきもののため 愛をくれるもののため
できること
Ah 出会ったあの頃は 全てが不器用で
遠まわりしたよね 傷つけ合ったよね
Ah いつか永遠の眠りにつく日まで
どうかその笑顔が 絶え間なくある様に
Ah 出会ったあの頃は 全てが不器用で
遠まわりしたけど 辿りついたんだね
The song Dearest expresses the singer's longing for a simpler life where everything except what is truly valuable can be discarded. The lyrics delve into the harsh reality that life is not always fair, and that humans are naturally sorrowful. The singer finds comfort in remembering the moments spent with someone dear to her, whose smile she can see when she closes her eyes. Even though the singer knows that every living thing must eventually forget, she hopes that the smile of her beloved will remain forever with her until the day she joins them in eternal slumber.
The first verse implies that the singer longs for a life free of materialistic possessions, where only important things matter. She wishes to discard everything else, but in reality, this is difficult. The singer further talks about how, at any given moment, she can vividly see the smiling face of someone whom she loves when she closes her eyes. This shows how important that person is to her and how much happiness they bring her. The lyrics emphasize the inevitability of death and how everything fades away eventually, but the singer?s wish is for the smile of her beloved to remain with her forever.
