そんな話をしたらまた泣きたくなってくるから
取りとめない出来事やあいかわらずの笑顔で

たとえば泳ぎをやめたなら生きていけない魚
もしかして私たちだって愛し合っていないと
ダメになるかもしれない

朝目覚めるたび生まれ変わるからだの中の

神秘なルールの在りか
誰も彼も気づいていないかも

夜眠れるたび刻まれてく記憶のピース
変わらない終わらない何か
いつもいつも追いかけてるのかも

月の満ち欠けのように流れつづけ...

ねぇ愛について教えてよ曖昧な二人だから
どんなふうに触れ合えばそれにさわれるんだろう

だっていつかあなたも私も消えてしまうのなら
ほんの少しこの手をのばせば今よりもっとそこへ
近づけるはずなのに

朝カーテン越し射し込む日がからだの中へ
神秘なルールはめぐる
誰も彼も気づいていないけど

夜夢見るたび手放してく思い出ならば
変わらない失くせない何か
きっときっと追いかけつづけてる

月の満ち欠けのように生まれつづけ...

Overall Meaning

The song "Luna" by 今井美樹 is a contemplative piece that talks about the mysteries of life and love. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and melancholy, as well as a desire for deeper understanding of the world around us. The singer starts by saying that she doesn't want to talk about certain things because they make her want to cry. Instead, she chooses to focus on everyday events and smiles.

The song then takes a more philosophical turn with the line "if fish stopped swimming, they couldn't survive." This can be interpreted as a metaphor for life and love, and how we need to keep moving forward and growing in order to live and thrive. The singer then wonders if she and her partner are truly in love and worries that if they aren't, things could fall apart.

The chorus repeats the line "like the waxing and waning of the moon, life flows on." This underscores the idea that life is constantly changing and evolving, and that we need to keep moving forward no matter what. Overall, the song is a deeply introspective and thought-provoking piece that encourages listeners to contemplate the deeper meaning of their lives.
