ストレイテナー Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am still alive in love
Clear eyed in my time
Clear eyed in my time
I still feel the pain in love
I still feel the pain in love
Clear minded in my time
Clear minded in my time
I dreamed I saw you sleeping by my side
I tried to touch your skin that made me cry
I dreamed I saw you sleeping by my side
I tried to listen to your voice that was so fragile
遠き日の影が色を落とした窓に
傷を撫でる風
熱を感じる雨
遠回りの雲が虹を越えた先に
追いかけて来た夢
追いつけはしない地平
パスワードは忘れてしまった
もう一人の違う自分がそう言った
朝が来て季節が変わった
そんな瞬間も傍にいたいんだ
同じ空を 同じ歌を
見上げ 歌ってる
離れていても
Love yourself as I love you, you sing to me
Still I wish I could tie your time with mine
Love yourself as I love you, you sing to me
Still I wish I could tie your time with mine
Love yourself as I love you, you sing to me
Still I wish I could tie your time with mine
同じ空を 同じ歌を
見上げ 歌ってる離れていても
Love yourself as I love you, you sing to me
Still I wish I could tie your time with mine
The song "Stilt" by ストレイテナー captures the theme of enduring love and the longing to connect with someone emotionally and physically. The repetition of the lines "I am still alive in love" and "Clear eyed in my time" emphasizes the singer's resilience and openness to love despite past pain. The lyrics express the desire to feel and experience love fully, even if it brings both joy and pain.
The dream sequence in the lyrics adds an element of yearning and nostalgia. The singer dreams of being with someone in an intimate and vulnerable moment, trying to touch their skin and listen to their fragile voice. These dreams symbolize the longing to be close to someone emotionally, suggesting that even in their dreams, the connection remains unattainable.
The Japanese verses introduce more imagery, with lines like "The wind caressing the wounded window" and "The rain that feels like heat." These metaphors convey a sense of longing and the desire to feel alive and connected even in the face of distance and obstacles. The mention of chasing dreams just out of reach emphasizes the frustration and longing for connection that pervades the song.
Overall, "Stilt" portrays the lingering presence of love, even in difficult times, and the longing to be close to someone both physically and emotionally.

With a clear understanding of myself and my surroundings at this moment
I still feel the pain in love
The emotions and hardships of love still affect me

Having a focused and rational mindset in the present
I dreamed I saw you sleeping by my side

I tried to touch your skin that made me cry
I longed to feel the tender touch of your skin, evoking tears of joy and yearning

Shadows from distant days cast colors on the window
Memories and experiences from the past influence the present, coloring my perspective
The wind that strokes the wounds
The wind caresses the wounds, providing a sense of solace
The rain that carries warmth
The rain carries a comforting warmth and sensibility
Beyond the clouds taking a detour, crossing the rainbow
Journeying beyond obstacles and uncertainties, surpassing expectations
The dream that followed me, impossible to catch up to the horizon
The dream persistently pursues me, but I can never quite reach its fulfillment
I forgot the password
I have forgotten the key to accessing a different version of myself
The other me said so
An alternate version of myself expressed those words
Morning has come, seasons have changed
The dawn arrives, bringing a shift in time and the transition of seasons
Yet, in those fleeting moments, I want you by my side
Even during the ephemeral instants, I desire your presence beside me
Looking at the same sky, singing the same song
Despite being physically apart, we gaze at the shared sky and sing together
Love yourself as I love you, you sing to me
You express your affection towards yourself, mirroring the love I feel for you
Still I wish I could tie your time with mine
I yearn to synchronize our lives, intertwining our experiences
