白いGradation
大黒摩季 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
あの頃のような私には戻らない だから
泣かないで もう 逃げないで
さよならしたこと悔やまないように 今は
優しさを求めすぎた過去が
溶けて行くよ 白い gradation
駆け抜けて行く 白樺の winding road
遠い街から見下ろせば
小さい自分の言い分が
聞こえてくるよ
会いたくて でも 会えなくて
見守ることより 責めてばかりいたの いつも
偶然じゃない 真夜中過ぎの catch phone
悲しい予感 揺れる gradation
予告無しにおしかけて
部屋中眺めて安心したジェラシー
あなたが言ってた「愛してる」は
猜疑心から逃れたい 悲しい嘘だった
好きだから もう追いかけない
あの頃のような私には戻らない だけど
さよならも 思い出も全て抱きしめて
そばにいたい にじむ gradation
ここで 独り 白い gradation
The lyrics to 大黒摩季's song 白いGradation talk about a love that was once strong but has now faded away. The singer acknowledges that they still have feelings for the person they used to chase after, but they have come to the realization that they can't go back to who they were before. They refuse to cry or run away anymore, wanting to leave the goodbye without regret. They reflect on their past, where they sought kindness too desperately, and now those memories are melting away like a white gradation.
The song captures a sense of longing and reflection on a past relationship. The singer describes driving at dawn on a winding road, feeling small as they look down on a distant city. They admit to wanting to see the person they miss, but instead of just watching over them, they've always been quick to place blame. They mention a catch phone call in the early hours of the morning, bringing with it a sad premonition and a wavering gradation.
The lyrics also touch upon moments of jealousy and mistrust. The singer reveals that they unexpectedly invaded the person's room and found temporary comfort in the reassurance of their presence. However, they question the sincerity of the person's words of love, suspecting them to be a sad lie meant to escape from their own doubts and insecurities.
Overall, the lyrics of 白いGradation depict a bittersweet reflection on a past love, capturing the complicated emotions and uncertainties that come with it.
