とても小さな傷心
工藤静香 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

サイレン
銀色のビルから響く夜
Oh Close Your Eyes
瞳のないマネキンが
鏡に笑ってる
Oh Close Your Eyes
一枚のポラロイドが
男の影いま消した

Lunatic (Heartbreak)
闇夜に光るナイフ (Bring Your Night)
クラクションまで Lunatic (Lazy Night)
目撃者は Only Lonely
冷たい風が吹く

女優の涙には
Blueの毒がある
Oh Close Your Eyes
シャワーから凍えた水
テレビの音いま消えた
Lunatic (Heartbreak)
空港までのTaxi (Bring Your Night)
街をつつんだ Lunatic (Lazy Night)
満月には Only Lonely
Lunatic (Heartbreak)
誰も知らないPhone Call (Bring Your Night)
アドレスにある Lunatic (Lazy Night)
靴音さえ Only Lonely

サイレン響く夜
冷たい風が吹く

Overall Meaning

The song "とても小さな傷心" by 工藤静香 describes a melancholic and dark atmosphere through its lyrics. The first verse begins with "サイレン" (siren), creating a sense of emergency and tension. The following lines mention a silver building from which the night echoes, inviting the listener to imagine a deserted and eerie urban landscape. The chorus, "Oh Close Your Eyes," repeats twice and is accompanied by the image of a man's shadow being erased by a single Polaroid photograph, suggesting the ephemeral nature of human interactions and relationships.

The second verse mentions a mannequin without eyes laughing in front of a mirror, creating an image of absurd and haunting beauty. Images of a knife shining in the darkness, a cold shower, and a television sound disappearing further add to the sense of loneliness and desperation. The bridge brings in a new image of a blue toxin dwelling in the tears of an actress, perhaps symbolizing the price of fame that can corrupt and deteriorate one's emotional well-being.
