愛を置き去りに
マルシア Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

坂道を下りれば海が見える
都会にも寄り添うカモメがいる
愛し合い死ぬほど
惹かれ合おうとも
閉ざされて灯りも見えない
躰の傷ならいつか癒えるけど
心の傷跡消えずに残る
美しい日々はあまりに短すぎて

哀しみばかりを置き去りに......

明日から二人は他人よりも
噂さえ届かぬ行方知らず
微笑みの扉に鍵を掛けました
思い出に変わるその日まで
優しすぎた人あなたはいつでも
溢れる涙にくちづけくれた
両手を伸ばして
あなたを探すけれど
虚しく幻揺れるだけ......
次の人生が許されるのなら
もう一度あなたとめぐり逢いたい

美しい日々はあまりに短すぎて
哀しみばかりを置き去りに......

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to マルシア's song 愛を置き去りに (Abandoning Love) reflect on the fleeting and sometimes painful nature of love, as well as the difficulties of letting go. The opening lines refer to a hill, from which the sea can be seen, and seagulls who accompany city dwellers. Despite the beauty of the surroundings, the song suggests that even the strongest attraction and love can lead to a closed heart, where no light can be seen. The physical wounds of the body may heal, but the scars of the heart remain.

The song continues with the idea that the singer and their loved one will abandon their love and disappear from others' lives. The door of a smiling face or facade will be locked, and the memories of the past will be treasured until the day they change. The simple gesture of reaching out for the loved one yields only phantom illusions, and the song concludes with the wish to have another chance to meet in the next life.

Overall, the song's message is one of longing and pain, as well as reflection on the ephemerality of life and love.
