Timeless
宇宙ネコ子 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
まだこんなにもたくさんあったのに
声をかけるその時は
何故か言い訳を探して
きみの姿を探して
こんな日を繰り返したまま
きみの時計の針が
君に言いそびれたことが
まだこんなにもたくさんあったのに
Ah-ah あったのに
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
こんな日を繰り返したまま
きみの時計の針が
二度と戻らないよ
いつかあの日のぼくが
何を言いかけたの ah-ah
君に言そびれたことが
まだこんなにもたくさんあったのに
The lyrics of "Timeless" by 宇宙ネコ子 (Space Cat Child) speak to the feelings of regret and missed opportunities in a relationship. The singer reflects on all the things they never got to say to their partner, even though there were so many things left unsaid. When the singer finally decided to speak up, they found themselves searching for excuses and justifications for why they hadn't spoken sooner. The singer laments the fact that they are still stuck in the same cycle of days, unable to turn back the clock and change the outcome.
The repetition of the phrase "きみの時計の針が / 二度と戻らないよ" (Your clock's hands / will never turn back) emphasizes the finality of the situation and the impossibility of going back in time. The singer wonders what they could have said on that day, knowing that there were still so many things left unsaid.
