酒がたり
三代沙也可 Lyrics

These lyrics are about a man who deeply loved someone but let stubbornness end their relationship. He regrets how he continuously made the kind person cry and now drinks alone reminiscing about what could have been. He sees the red lantern light on the other side of the steam and remembers drinking with his love while leaning on each other's shoulders. He wishes he could have understood their feelings better before they left him. The song ends with him drinking alone, cursing himself and sipping the bitter taste of whiskey.

The lyrics of this song are a reflection of lost love and missed opportunities. The artist describes how he feels about the person he loved but refused to work things out with, ultimately resulting in a breakup. He regrets not being able to understand how they felt and misses the moments they shared. The use of red lanterns and steam sets the scene of a nostalgic, traditional Japanese bar.
