alive
喜多村英梨 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I must decide whether to go
(Or stay, I want you to stay with me)
I want to get back together
(Don't say "My mind will never change")
I must decide whether to go
(Or stay, I want you to stay with me)
I still can not forget you
離れてゆく二人のDistance
縮め方がわからなかったんだ.だから
途切れがちな 君のリアクションに
気づかないフリしてしまったんだ
押し潰されそうで

静寂を裂くような
「サヨナラ」の一言が
僕の心の時計の針を
迷いもなく止めた

逢いたくて 逢えなくて
君じゃなきゃ満たされないよ
薄れゆく ぬくもりを
抱きしめてたい ずっと
その声も その指も
他の誰かのものになるくらいなら
全て 忘れてしまいたいのに...

I must decide whether to go
(Or stay, I want you to stay with me)
I still can not forget you

「信じる」 ための
「疑い」なんて
許されるものだと思っていた だから
君が流した泪も全部
些細な喧嘩だと思っていた
どうしようもなくて

与えられないものを
君から 欲しがってた
誰よりも大切にしたいと
想えば想うほど

切なくて 苦しくて 戻りたい
初めて逢った
あの時の 微笑みが
忘れられないずっと
ただ前に進むしか
他に道がないなら
いっそ このまま
想い出と立ち止まっていたい...

「世界が終わりを告げる時も
変わらず二人でいよう」 なんて
笑いながらも 信じていた Ah
儚く散った僕らの夢を
もう一度 拾い集め

逢いたくて 逢えなくて
君じゃなきゃ満たされないよ
薄れゆく ぬくもりを
抱きしめてたい ずっと
その声も その指も
他の誰かのものになるくらいなら
全て 忘れてしまいたいのに...

I must decide whether to go
(Or stay, I want you to stay with me)
I want to get back together
(Don't say "My mind will never change")
I must decide whether to go




(Or stay, I want you to stay with me)
I still can not forget you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Alive" by 喜多村英梨 discuss a struggle between wanting to move forward and let go of a failed relationship or hold onto the hope of reconciliation. The song is crafted around the theme of indecision, with the chorus revealing the constant internal debate on whether to leave or stay.


The first verse depicts the distance between two people who don't know how to bridge the gap or communicate effectively, leading to missed opportunities and misunderstandings. The second verse delves into the idea that doubt is a natural part of believing in someone, but too much can cloud judgment and lead to dismissal of important emotions, even labeling them as insignificant. The repeated mention of forgetting the past lover shows that despite the constant chatter in the singer's mind, there is acknowledgement of the need to move on.


Line by Line Meaning

I must decide whether to go
I am torn between leaving and staying


(Or stay, I want you to stay with me)
I want you to stay with me and not leave


I want to get back together
I want us to reconcile and be together again


(Don't say "My mind will never change")
Please do not say that you will never change your mind


I still can not forget you
I am still unable to forget about you


I didn't know how to shorten
I didn't know how to reduce the distance between us


So I pretended not to notice
I ignored your inconsistently reacting behavior


The word "goodbye"
Your goodbye cut through the silence


Without a doubt, stopped my heart
Your words stopped my heart from beating


I miss you, but we can't meet
I long to see you, but we can't be together


I can only embrace fading warmth
All I can do is hold onto the warmth that's slowly disappearing


I'd rather forget everything
Instead, I wish I could just forget it all


I thought doubt was allowed
I used to think that doubting was accepted


So I thought your tears were just a small fight
I thought your tears were caused by a minor disagreement


I yearned for the impossible
I desired something that I knew I couldn't have


The more I loved you, the more precious you became
You became more precious to me the more I loved you


Heartbroken, I want to go back
I am heartbroken and want to go back in time


I remember that smile from when we first met
I can't forget the smile you gave me when we first met


If there's no other way but to move forward
If the only option is to move forward


I'd rather just stand still with our memories
I'd rather just stay still with our memories


We believed that even when the world ends
We believed that we'd still be together even if the world ended


Our dream that crumbled into pieces
Our shattered dream


I want to pick up the pieces again
I want to put our dream back together again
