I my me
堀江由衣 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
紙くずのまま気付かれぬように
嘘つきでも弱虫でも
いい子にしてたらきっといつしか
あなたの瞳の先に私
いる?いない? ...
－ア イ マ イ－ ...
雨のち晴れ ココロもオドル
ココロウラハラなまま... まま
まだ?ねぇ教えて
恋はこんなに儚いくせに
どうして愛さずにはいられない
今宵 月がうつろいゆく
赤くなったこの頬が 探している
あなたの影
まばたきも忘れて
降りだす雨涙隠す
神様がくれた優しさかな
"好きだったよ"言えなかった
胸の奥 I love I love... I love
あなたへの距離あと何ポイント?
あと何センチ?何ミリ?
ミクロの世界 見えない 見せて...
何億光年先の光と あなたの笑顔
自慢の瞳で見つけてみせるから
今夜夢で逢えたらいいな
眠れない夜を包んで
出逢いはきっと偶然じゃない
運命かな? 奇跡かな?
だからいっそ過去に戻って
違う道探したとしても
あなたのこと
好きになると決まってるの
my love my love...
Ah-曖昧な
Ah-満ちぬ想い
今宵月が うつろいゆく
赤くなったこの頬が
期待してる夢見ている
please love me
朝も昼も夜もあなた あなたがいい
あなたじゃなきゃダメ
このままずっと
好きなままでいてもいい?
I love I love...I love
The lyrics to 堀江由衣's song I my me express the feelings of a person who is holding onto their feelings for someone else, afraid of revealing them and being rejected. The singer describes their emotions as crumpled up into paper scraps, hoping not to be noticed. They wonder if the person they love has any feelings for them in return. The chorus repeats the title phrase, "I my me," emphasizing the singer's self-centered preoccupation with their own feelings. The verses continue with descriptions of longing and uncertainty, wishing for the courage to confess their love and begging for the other person's affection.
The second verse shifts to a fantastical image of microscopic worlds and light years away, as if the distance between the singer and the object of their affection is impossible to bridge. The chorus repeats again before the final verse, where the singer confesses that they were never able to say "I love you" and hopes that the person they love can feel the depth of their emotion. The song ends with a plea for love and a desperate hope that the other person feels the same way.
Overall, the lyrics to I my me are a reflection of the universal human experience of unrequited love and the anxiety of revealing one's true feelings. The crumpled paper scraps represent the vulnerability and fragility of the singer's emotions, while the mention of rain and tears suggests the sadness that comes with unfulfilled love. The song is both melancholy and hopeful, capturing the conflicting emotions of love and longing.
