もっとPlease

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
チェッと唇をとがらせてる
煙草をやめようと
何度も言ったのに
一日おきに何か忘れてしまう貴方
もっとPlease Please人生を
何から何まで信じないように
いい人とねえ 呼ばれても
心をすぐ見せないで
そばにいてハラハラする
夜の高速でロマンティック
朝の新聞にサディスティック
理想を語るとき
貴方は光るけど
いつも他人のことと割り切っている弱さ
もっとPlease Please意地を張り
頑固なほどやり切って
貴方を信じた私を守って
優しさをねえ 減らしても
私のこと忘れても
負けないで誰にも今
眠る貴方の横顔を見て
涙ぐんでしまうけれど
もっとPlease Please人生を
斜めに見て欲しいのよ
何から何まで信じないように
いい人とねえ 呼ばれても
心をすぐ見せないで
そばにいてハラハラする
These lyrics, from the song "もっとPlease" by 大橋純子, convey a sense of frustration and longing in a relationship where one person struggles to fully trust and connect with the other. The singer is urging their partner to see life from a different perspective and to be less guarded and skeptical.
The first verse describes the image of the singer striking a match against thin paper and pursing their lips in a flippant gesture. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the partner's dismissive attitude towards the singer's attempts to quit smoking and their tendency to forget important things. The singer is frustrated by their partner's inconsistency and lack of commitment.
In the chorus, the singer pleads for their partner to see life from a different angle, to let go of their skepticism, and to stop distrusting everything. They want their partner to believe in something, to have faith, and to be open to the possibilities that life has to offer. By asking for this, the singer is also indirectly asking their partner to trust them more.
The second verse contrasts the partner's behavior in different situations. On the one hand, they can be romantic and passionate during late-night drives, but on the other hand, they show sadistic tendencies through their indifference displayed in the morning. The partner appears to be inconsistent and detached, only showing their best side when it suits them.
In the bridge, the singer acknowledges that when their partner talks about their ideals, they shine with brilliance. However, this brightness is overshadowed by their constant detachment from others and their willingness to prioritize their own interests. The partner's weakness lies in their inability to fully commit or empathize with others.
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the singer's plea for their partner to let go of their stubbornness and protect the trust they had in them. Even if the partner becomes less affectionate or forgets about the singer, the singer implores them not to give up on themselves and to stay true to who they are.
The final lines of the song reveal that despite the frustration and disappointment, the singer still feels a deep emotional connection to their partner. When they see their partner sleeping, they are moved to tears, showcasing their enduring love despite the challenges they face.
Overall, these lyrics express a desire for a deeper and more genuine connection in a relationship, urging the partner to let go of their skepticism and fully embrace the trust and love that is offered to them.
