問わず煙草
五輪真弓 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
見知らぬあなたよ
問わず語りの寒い心
あたためてほしい
あれは三年前のこと
愛しながらも別れた
その人のおもかげ切なく
胸に宿してる
あなたはつぶやき
そしてまだひとりでいるの?と
わたしにきいた
さびしさなんて捨てたけど
後追う愛が邪魔して
背を向けりゃ冷たい女と
呼ばれたわたし
煙草に火をつけるしぐさが
あの人に似てる
だから思わずなつかしさに
話しかけたのよ
忘れることはたやすいと
あなたは けむたそうに言う
もう一本 煙草を吸ったら
明日が見えてくるよ
問わず煙草に火をつけりゃ
想い出もただの未練
そうね わたしも
ばかな事を話したものね
These lyrics are from the song "問わず煙草" by 五輪真弓. The song expresses the singer's desire to alleviate the coldness in their heart by seeking comfort in the act of smoking a cigarette. The lyrics start by asking someone unfamiliar to them to light a cigarette, indicating a yearning for connection and warmth. The singer reminisces about a past love, someone they parted with three years ago. Despite the pain of the separation, they still carry the person's memory painfully in their heart.
The lyrics then depict a conversation between the singer and the person they are speaking to. The person muses that the story is familiar, as if breakups and heartache are something common to everyone. They also inquire whether the singer is still alone. The singer admits to having discarded their loneliness, but the lingering feelings of love hinder their ability to move on. They recount how they were labeled a cold-hearted woman when they turned their back on love that sought to follow them.
