壊れた時計
山下久美子 Lyrics

The lyrics of "壊れた時計" by 山下久美子 tell a story of heartbreak, nostalgia, and longing. The song begins with the singer closing a book and feeling tears welling up inside them, overwhelmed by sadness. They wonder if they're capable of giving themselves up to this feeling and being so devoted to it. The singer reminisces about the warmth of their loved one and how they've been desperately searching for it, lost in the memories of a love they once cherished. The singer then describes how they dream of following a path that leads to their loved one, but it's elusive and distant, almost like they're calling out to them from another world. The singer then wonders if there's a way to see their future together, to replace the false words that have failed them with the mirror that reflects what's yet to come. They wonder if they could predict their uncertain tomorrow.

The following verses describe the singer's disillusionment with the world, which they see as warping around them like a broken clock. They long for an angel, someone to guide them through the madness of time gone awry. The song concludes with the singer saying they know their place is beneath the stars, wrapped in the arms of their lover, who in a way, is their destiny. The lyrics convey a melancholic quality that's characteristic of 山下久美子's music, as though the song is a mournful lament that echoes with the yearning and pain of lost love.
