アイランド
レミオロメン Lyrics

The lyrics to レミオロメン's song "アイランド" (Island) describe a complex relationship dynamic. The singer expresses feeling both loved and hated by someone they care about deeply. They hide their true feelings and wear a mask, smiling on the outside but feeling tense and hiding their tears. The words of ideals and love seem hollow, unable to reach the other person. The beating of their heart feels overwhelming, almost as if it could shatter their eardrums.

In the middle of this emotional turmoil, the singer finds themselves standing under the moonlight, unsure of where to go. The outside world is cold, with winter grass swaying in the wind. They search for light, trying to discard the darkness but struggling to do so completely. They gaze at the gray sky, relying on the flickering candle's light to guide their heart as they continue on their journey. In this searching, they stumble upon something unexpected, maybe even something ugly, but they embrace it because it provides comfort and keeps their breath going.

The singer yearns to see someone again, desperately wanting to meet them. They plunge into the slumbering wind and tremble. They wonder if they can go back, if things can be as they once were. The answer seems unreachable, a product of time.

The sun of distant memories cannot infiltrate their heart. With closed eyes, time keeps moving forward, and people cannot change. Once again, under the moonlit road, the singer is unsure of where to go. The outside world is cold, with the starry sky swaying. They search for answers, feeling lost and contaminated. In the light of the moon, reminiscent of their pure but incomplete selves, they seek the shadow of the person they can no longer return to.
