Whisper Sweet Nothing
パーキッツ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
こぼれだした金の色に目を細めて
対岸の町が 急に輝いた
眩しさに見とれるふりしてまぶたに受ける雨粒
つねるのを やめたら すぐに涙になる
あなたも きっと 知っているはずでしょう
このまま確かめたい
生きいそぐ日々 あとどれくらい ふたり 分け合えるの
今は足をとめて
Baby,whisper sweet nothing
繋ぎ目でさえ 溶かしてみて
その指の熱で触れて
見たくはないものは すべて 目をとじれば
見えなくなると 信じていたはずなのに
高く ガラスの壁で飽きずに 空の入り口さがす
愚かな鳥は いつか地上に落ちて
焼かれた羽根の重さを知るかしら
今 あなたの空を わたしは飛べているの？
永遠の命も ぬくもりも かなわないものならば
このまま確かめたい
生きいそぐ日々 あとどれくらい ふたり 分け合えるの
あなたの空の中 やがて消え去っても
少しだけでいいわ
Baby,whisper sweet nothing
天気雨の午後を潜ろう 傘も言葉も持たずに
The lyrics of パーキッツ's song "Whisper Sweet Nothing" describe a moment of intimacy and vulnerability shared between two individuals on a rainy afternoon. The singer suggests the two of them hide from the rain and the world around them, without any words or protection from the downpour. They gaze at the golden hue of the rain and are entranced by the sudden radiance of a town in the distance. The singer allows raindrops to fall on their eyelids to pretend they are crying, perhaps to allow themselves to feel something tangible and real in that moment. The lyrics then ask whether eternal life, warmth, and other intangible desires are unattainable.
The singer expresses a desire to savor each moment of their shared life together, and asks how much longer they will be able to do so. They request their partner to "whisper sweet nothing", in other words, to whisper loving words or to share something tender, vulnerable, and intimate. They suggest melting everything in that moment, and they believe that by shutting their eyes, everything unwanted will disappear. The lyrics end by asking if the singer can fly through the sky in their partner's space and expressing a willingness to hold onto the memories of their love even if it passes with time.
Overall, the lyrics are poetic and suggest that despite the fleeting nature of life, the smallest moments of vulnerability and love are worth cherishing and holding onto.
