Maybe Blue
ユニコーン Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
無理に見せる笑顔少し 前よりやつれてる
声にならないつぶやきは 唇の動きでわかる
肩に回した手の先で 一夜限りの合図
泣き出しそうな窓際のブルー やりきれないね
そっと 揺れてる心包んで
Maybe blue くずれるくらい 抱きしめて
乱れた後の沈黙で 感じるとまどいが憎い
せめてあと一時間だけ 熱い夜のままで
少しずつ確かめるように 指先でたどった記憶
変わらなく曇った街に 埋もれて溶けて行く
一つになった二人の影 揺らめきそうで
ずっと許されない恋でいい
Maybe blue ぬくもりだけじゃ つまらない
Maybe blue 飽きがくる程 そばにいて
泣き出しそうな窓際のブルー やりきれないね
そっと 揺れてる心包んで
Maybe blue 冷たい部屋で かまわない
Maybe blue くずれるくらい 抱きしめて
Maybe blue ぬくもりだけじゃ つまらない
Maybe blue 飽きがくる程 そばにいて
The song "Maybe Blue" by ユニコーン is a song about a relationship that has gone sour. The song's first verse describes the sadness of the female protagonist. She brushes back her long hair and tries to smile, but it is a forced smile as she looks more worn out than before. She murmurs something that cannot be understood but her lips move, and the male protagonist can tell how she feels. He touches her shoulder and this is a signal of a one-night stand. In the second verse, the male protagonist feels resentment towards the silence that ensues after lovemaking. He wishes they could stay in the moment for just one more hour but knows their love is doomed. He traces their memories with his fingers and feels that they are slowly getting lost in the cloudy and unchanging city. The two of them become one, and they live in forbidden love.
The chorus of the song repeats "Maybe blue" for emphasis. It could be interpreted as a metaphor for sadness, loneliness, or the lover's blues. The female protagonist is crying by the window and surrounded by blue. The male protagonist tries to comfort her by hugging her tightly even if it means they might break. The second line of the chorus expresses that mere warmth is not enough, and the lovers need to be together so as to not get bored.
