素顔の街
大橋純子 Lyrics

These lyrics convey a sense of longing and nostalgia for a city and a person. The first verse talks about how the singer has always admired and cherished this city in their heart, waiting for the right time to reveal their feelings. The city brings back a flood of nostalgic emotions, especially because they were able to meet and love someone special there.

The second verse describes the scenery of the city. It mentions birds playing in between the buildings and the winding highways that the person loves. This city represents the person's true self, and it feels like they have discovered a new side of themselves since coming here.

The third verse highlights the countless lights from windows, representing the warmth and comfort this city holds. The singer feels grateful for the small gestures of kindness and the fragments of gentleness that have been shared with them. These acts have made a significant impact on their life.

The fourth verse reveals the singer's insecurities before meeting this person. They admit to closing off their heart without even realizing it, and being afraid to fully experience love until now. They express gratitude for meeting this person, as they believe that living in a bustling city like Tokyo would have been unbearable without them.

The bridge of the song describes a moment of watching the tower with its lights illuminating against the twilight sky. This sight triggers the resurgence of forgotten dreams in the singer's heart, overshadowing the painful days and sad past, fading away in comparison.

The chorus is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's long-held admiration for the city and their anticipation of finally being able to open up their heart. The song ends by expressing love and gratitude for both the city and the person they were able to meet and love there.
