Twilight
岡本真夜 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

緩やかな坂道
暮れてゆく空見ながら
二人並んで歩いた
かじかんだ指先
もう少し冷たい風
吹けば近づけるのに
あなたに手をつないでほしくて
手袋わざとポケットの中

しまったままなの
12月黄昏ははかなく
あなたへと心傾いて
橋の上から見る
見慣れてる街も今日は
違う気がするのはなぜ
灯り始めた窓
二人で声を出して数えた
帰りたくない
バスの時間を気にするあなたが
時計を見るたび気づかないふり
悲しくなるから
12月今日の景色すべて
いつまでも私忘れない
手を伸ばせば
つかめそうなオリオン
いつまでも見守っていて
wo...
Ah...
もうすぐ星の世界ね
ねぇこうして
またきっと会えるよね
約束も何もないけれど
手を伸ばせば

つかめそうなオリオン
いつまでも見守っていて

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "TWILIGHT" by Mayoma Okamoto. The song portrays a scene of two people walking together on a gentle slope, watching the sunset and feeling the cold breeze on their fingers. Despite the longing to hold hands, the singer's glove remains intentionally tucked in their pocket, expressing a desire for closeness yet hesitancy to fully embrace it. The melancholic atmosphere of the December twilight intensifies the inclination of the singer's heart towards the person they are with. They observe the familiar city from a bridge and notice a subtle difference in its ambiance, highlighting the special moment they are experiencing together. The desire to prolong their time together clashes with the practicality of catching a bus, and the singer notices the person they are with pretending not to be concerned about the time, which saddens them. However, the beauty of the scenery and the connection they feel in that moment will be unforgettable.
