Mayonaka no Door / Stay With Me
Miki Matsubara Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To you, yes, my love to you
Yes, my love to you, you, to you

私は私 貴方は貴方と
昨夜言ってた そんな気もするわ
グレイのジャケットに
見覚えがあるコーヒーのしみ
相変らずなのね
ショーウィンドウに 二人映れば

Stay with me
真夜中のドアをたたき
帰らないでと泣いた
あの季節が 今 目の前

Stay with me
口ぐせを言いながら
二人の瞬間を抱いて
まだ忘れず 大事にしていた

恋と愛とは 違うものだよと
昨夜言われた そんな気もするわ
二度目の冬が来て
離れていった貴方の心
ふり返ればいつも
そこに 貴方を感じていたの

Stay with me
真夜中のドアをたたき
心に穴があいた
あの季節が 今 目の前

Stay with me
淋しさまぎらわして
置いたレコードの針
同じメロディ 繰り返していた

Stay with me
真夜中のドアをたたき
帰らないでと泣いた
あの季節が 今 目の前

Stay with me
口ぐせを言いながら
二人の瞬間を抱いて
まだ忘れず 暖めてた

Stay with me
真夜中のドアをたたき
帰らないでと泣いた
あの季節が 今 目の前

Stay with me
口ぐせを言いながら
二人の瞬間を抱いて
まだ忘れず 暖めてた

Stay with me
真夜中のドアをたたき
帰らないでと泣いた
あの季節が 今 目の前

Stay with me

Overall Meaning

The song "Stay with me" by Miki Matsubara narrates the story of a woman who longs for her past love to come back to her. It is a song that portrays the struggle of dealing with the emotions of separation, the memories, and heartbreak. The song has a melancholic feel to it and showcases the inner turmoil of a person who is stuck in the past.


The lyrics begin with the woman reminiscing about the past and how she and her love had a conversation the night before about being themselves. She describes the coffee stain on the grey jacket he was wearing, and how everything seems to be the same despite the time that has passed. The woman then imagines the two of them reflected in a shop window.


The chorus of the song, "Stay with me," is a desperate plea for her love to stay with her and not leave her alone. She cries and begs him to remember the good times they had in the past and to stay with her.


In the second verse, the woman remembers being told that love and infatuation are two different emotions, and she questions her own feelings. She recalls how the second winter has come and gone since their separation, but she still feels his presence around her. The woman then recounts how her loneliness is magnified by the records she left behind that repeat the same melody over and over, reminding her of the love she lost.


Overall, the song speaks to the pain of heartbreak and the struggle to move on from a past love. It's a powerful reminder of how time doesn't always heal all wounds, and the memories of those we've loved can linger on.

her life story is so sad. miki was diagnosed with uterine cervic cancer, which she kept a secret for a long time from people and carried on with her music career. she battled cancer for 3 years. 2 months before her death, miki wished nobody would listen to her music and said she had regretted her music career as a whole, because she spent her life being too focused on making music and didn't live her life fully enough. edit: this part is inaccurate (read next paragraph). miki spent the last 2 months of her life with her family, and later passed away at the age of 44. she told her husband that she wished she could restart her life again and live it more fully. rest in peace <3

edit: i believe i have misunderstood, to all the people that read my comment, i apologise. i researched into this again one year later, and i found out what i said "miki wished nobody would listen to her music and said she had regretted her music career as a whole, because she spent her life being too focused on making music and didn't live her life fully enough" is inaccurate. it is unclear to me what miki truly felt, because there isn't much information about it online (she was a private person), but i found some information from an article below called "Okay Bliss":

“I have got a favor [to ask]. Please forget about the years of my life singing and making music. I can’t help but feel that the way I have been living my life has brought about my sickness…I must find a way to reset myself.”

While Matsubara’s words in the message are commonly interpreted as an admission of her resentment of her music career, some fans say that her words were taken out of context.

It was further revealed in a documentary that she burned some of her favorite musical scores and records in her last year because she could not come to terms with the little time she had left to compose music.

According to Matsubara’s father, during her final days, she had said that there were “still so many things” she wanted to do and that she did not “want to die”. - Okay Bliss Article, 2022.

In her last email before her death, which was read by her husband at her funeral said - “I realized many things for the first time after I was diagnosed. If possible, I want to be healthy and return the courtesy for [my family] a lot. I want to be healthy and restart my life.” -
My conclusion is that Miki enjoyed her music career, as she "could not to come to terms with the little time she had left to compose music". However, she also blames the way she was living her life as a cause for her sickness -"I can't help but feel that the way I have been living my life has brought about my sickness." With the contexual knowledge that Miki was a hardworking and dedicated person, it can be interpreted that she overworked herself during her musical career, and didn't take time to slow down to enjoy her life more. I believe she loved music, but it overworked her, and took too much of her time, so she had less time to spend with her family, and felt sadder. Therefore, Miki wished she was more balanced between making decisions about work (music) and the rest of her life, hence her love hate relationship with it, and the confusion between whether she loved music in the end or hated it. - sara

English lyrics : To you… yes, my love to you, yes my love to you you, to you
I am who I am, and you are who you are
I feel like you said that last night
There’s a familiar coffee stain on your grey jacket
You haven’t changed one bit, have you?
When I see you and I reflected in the shop windows…

stay with me… The season I knocked on midnight’s door and cried,
Asking you not to go home is here before my very eyes now
stay with me… Uttering my favourite phrase,
I embraced the moments we had together, treasuring them all,
still remembering everything

Love and romance were different
I feel like you told me that last night too
Your heart left me when the second winter came around
Looking back, I always felt you there

stay with me… The season I knocked on midnight’s door
And a hole opened up in my heart is here before my very eyes now
stay with me… I put the needle on a record to distract myself
From how lonely I felt, and repeated the same melody over and over…
stay with me… The season I knocked on midnight’s door and cried,
Asking you not to go home is here before my very eyes now
stay with me… Uttering my favourite phrase,
I embraced the moments we had together, treasuring them all,
and kept them warm

English:

To you... yes, my love to you Yes my love to you you, to you

I am me, you are you, That's what we said last night.

I recognize the coffee stain On your gray jacket, It's the same as usual.

When we're reflected in the shop window,

Stay with me...

I knocked on the door in the middle of the night And cried, "Don't go away."

That season is now before my eyes.

Stay with me...

While saying our catchphrase

I held the moment of the two of us And I still cherished it, not forgetting.

We were told last night That love and love are different things.

The second winter came And your heart that had left

I always felt you there When I looked back.

Stay with me...

I knocked on the door in the middle of the night And I felt a hole in my heart.

That season is now before my eyes.

Stay with me...

To forget the loneliness

I put the needle on the record And the same melody was repeated...

Stay with me...

I knocked on the door in the middle of the night And cried, "Don't go away."

That season is now before my eyes.

Stay with me...

While saying our catchphrase

I held the moment of the two of us And I still warmed it, not forgetting.

Stay with me...

I knocked on the door in the middle of the night And cried, "Don't go away."

That season is now before my eyes.

Stay with me...

@claudiaStay

@@eensanom while I agree with all you said , and also that if you don't live a life you like you could have an illness, I don't agree that you could have cancer. Cancer is formed by DNA mutations of the cells in our body, which is a normal thing that happens to our cells but, if they were in contact with carcinogenic things (environment, food, etc), the DNA mutations can evolve into cancer cells . Cancer cells are not created by the stress of a life you don't like
