霧情
山内惠介 Lyrics

The lyrics of 山内惠介's song "霧情" depict a sense of longing and loneliness. The opening lines describe how the singer feels their emotions swirl around them like a mist that they cannot escape. They are bound to their memories and their unfulfilled desires, represented by the image of a black hair twirled around their finger. As they wander the foggy harbor, the singer is overcome by the futility of their yearning for someone who is no longer present. This sense of emptiness becomes almost unbearable, and they feel like they could cry.

The second verse introduces a new image, that of a flower from the singer's hometown that they hold in their hand. The flower should be a comforting reminder of home and provide solace during their travels. However, it only serves to highlight the absence of a loved one. The singer reflects on their missed opportunities and how everything has become too late. They end the verse with a repetition of the opening line, emphasizing that their ship has sailed without them.

The final verse brings together the themes of home, longing, and regret. The singer recounts how they count down the moments until their next meeting, alone and wet in the fog of the harbor. The weight of their loneliness is so great that they wish they had three lives to bear it. Eventually, they cannot hold back their tears any longer. The song ends with a sorrowful repetition of the last line, "My ship is gone."
