Dragonfly
島谷ひとみ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
あなたにはまだ通じない?
夜に紛れて壊した もどかしい距離
すごく近づいて その手に触れたら
胸が震えて怖くなる 月が見てる
今宵Dragonfly Dragonfly
その甘い声も 潤んだ瞳も
胸の高鳴り 隠したい
もうこれ以上 一秒も待てない
痛いほどに目覚めのくちづけを
あなたを愛した罪と罰
身体中 焦がしてゆくから
わたしをその手で抱きしめて
この指とまれ 今だけDragonfly
にじんだ意識の向こうで
ループしてる甘い罠
孤独な夜の長さを 呪うしかない
傷ついた羽根を 休める場所なら
他の誰かに渡せない
譲れない 比べないで
もうこれ以上 秘密を守れない
痛いほどに絡みつくジェラシー
あなたを愛した罪と罰
微熱に冒されてくから
天使も悪魔も引き連れて
その愛 盗み出したいDragonfly
もうこれ以上 言葉なんかいらない
痛いほどに生命のくちづけを
あなたを愛した罪と罰
夜明けが来なくてかまわない
重なりあうたび確かめたい
この指とまれ 傷ついたって
とまれ 傷つけたって
とまれ 今だけのDragonfly
The lyrics to "Dragonfly" by Hitomi Shimatani depict the intense feelings of love and desire that the singer feels towards someone. She expresses her longing to be closer to the person, to feel their touch, and to share a kiss with them. Despite her fears and insecurities, she is willing to risk everything for the chance to be with this person.
The use of the dragonfly as a metaphor for love and desire is interesting. Dragonflies are known to symbolize change, self-realization, and the power of the subconscious mind. In this sense, the dragonfly represents the singer's innermost desires and passions. The line "その愛 盗み出したいDragonfly" (I want to steal that love, Dragonfly) encapsulates this idea perfectly. The singer is willing to go to great lengths to make her dreams a reality, even if it means stealing someone else's love.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of jealousy and possession, as the singer admits to feeling jealous of anyone who might come between her and the person she loves. At the same time, she acknowledges her own faults and desires, as well as the consequences of her actions. The line "あなたを愛した罪と罰" (The crime and punishment of loving you) highlights the singer's awareness of the risks involved in pursuing this love, but also her willingness to accept those risks.

Stop everything, just for now, even if we're both wounded,
とまれ 傷つけたって
Stop everything, even if we hurt each other,
とまれ 今だけのDragonfly
Stop everything, just for now, Dragonfly.
