あきらめてバイバイ
マルシア Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

バイバイあきらめてバイバイ
ひと晩泣いて終わり
バイバイ思い出にバイバイ
愛なんて蜃気楼......
潮騒ゆれる渚のホテル
日付が違う異国の街は
迷う心を断ち切るように
陽射しが素肌を焦がして責める

一緒に行くって約束したのに
二人で来るって言ったのに
バイバイ思い出にバイバイ
指先が覚えてる
バイバイ振り向いてバイバイ
唇が忘れない......

寂しがりやの私と知って
上手な嘘でだましてくれた
憎らしいけど悔しいけれど
いつしか星空辺りが滲む
知らない言葉に声かけられたら
よけいに哀しみつのります
バイバイ純情にバイバイ
一人旅です私
バイバイあの人にバイバイ
またひと粒の涙......
バイバイあきらめてバイバイ
ひと晩泣いて終わり

バイバイ思い出にバイバイ
愛なんて蜃気楼......

Overall Meaning

The song "あきらめてバイバイ" by マルシア is a melancholic ballad about a breakup and the process of letting go of love. The lyrics convey feelings of disappointment, betrayal, and heartache, and the singer expresses her emotions through the repetition of the word "bye-bye," which serves as a metaphor for the end of the relationship. She acknowledges that she cried all night over the loss but has now come to terms with it, and bidding farewell to the memories of the past becomes the theme of the song. The verse "愛なんて蜃気楼..." (“ai nante shinkirou...”) means "love is a mirage," an expression of the singer's disillusionment and loss of faith in love.

The lyrics also incorporate images of exotic locations such as a hotel near a beach where the tides sway and a foreign city. These places serve to symbolize the new beginnings and the possibility of starting afresh, but at the same time, they remind the singer of the promise of a shared journey that she made with her partner but that will never come to fruition. The song's overall message is one of acceptance and resignation, but also one of hope that somewhere down the line, she will find love again.
