面影本線
山川豊 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

幸せそうだね 横顔が
きれいに見えるよ 昔より
お前も一人で いるような
気がしてはるばる 逢いに来た
夕焼け北国 アカシアの
並木はあの日の ままだけど
夢は帰らぬ 遠い影
白魚みたいな 左手の
お前の指輪が 目に痛い
ご免なさいねと 泣いている
小さな背中に 詫びながら
想い出たどれば この胸に
哀しい二人の 恋の跡
風に揺れてる 日暮れ道

愛しさこらえて あきらめて




最終夜行で 帰るのさ
想い尽きない 北みれん

Overall Meaning

In 山川豊's song 面影本線, the singer appears to be visiting an old flame. The singer comments on how the person looks happy and beautiful, but also notes that they seem to be alone more often than they used to be. The singer mentions having travelled far to see this person, and recalls the memories of their time together in the past. However, their dreams and the shadow of their past love are something that have not returned. The presence of a ring on the person's left hand is also noted, causing the singer emotional pain.


The emotions conveyed in this song are complex, with a mix of longing, sadness, and acceptance. The singer seems to have accepted that their past love is over, but cannot help feeling emotional and attached to the person they are visiting. The use of imagery, such as the sunset and the ring, further reinforces the bittersweet memories and emotions at play.
