I'm In Love
安倍なつみ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It is those stair ways
And where my friends now
I fiil so low
I've watched you sister
And there's my fading day
I'm in love
It is cold lonely
And where's my busy day
For so long
I've wonder in there
And there's my wedding day
I'm in love
The lyrics of 安倍なつみ's song "I'm in Love" portrays a sense of isolation and longing for lost time. The first stanza "It is my name, It is those stair ways, And where my friends now, I feel so low" suggests a connection to a past life through memories and familiar places, but now the sense of loneliness is overwhelming. The mention of "watching your sister" adds a layer of nostalgia and the memory of experiences shared with others. The use of "fading day" further cements the theme of loss and the fact that time is limited.
The second stanza "It is my face, It is cold lonely, And where's my busy day, For so long, I've wondered in there, And there's my wedding day, I'm in love" continues the theme of loneliness and the feeling of being lost in thoughts of the past. The mention of the wedding day highlights a specific moment in time that is particularly poignant and may hold significant meaning for the singer. The use of "cold lonely" suggests that the singer may be going through a particularly difficult time, and the feelings of nostalgia and loss may be a coping mechanism for her.
In conclusion, the lyrics of 安倍なつみ's "I'm in Love" are a beautiful and poignant expression of the complexities of loss, nostalgia and the longing for the past.
