杉本彩 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
きらめく波は知ってる
砂浜のキスが
どんなに胸を燃やすか
何の予告(まえぶれ)もなく始まる
恋はカーニバル
Fascination... あなたと焦らしあう視線(まなざし)に
輝いて... 腕の中<My Shinin' Love>
蜃気楼の様に
輝いて... 光る風が<Your Silky Love>
愛になるまで
スコールの海を
さまよう船は知ってる
運命に人は
流されてゆくだけだと
髪の雫を撒き散らす時
そっと見抜いて
Conversation... 素肌にまぶしさが反射する
輝いて... 夏だけの<My Shinin' Love>
魔法でかまわない
輝いて... あなたになら<Your Silky Love>
夢をあげるわ
輝いて... 腕の中<My Shinin' Love>
蜃気楼の様に
輝いて... 光る風が<Your Silky Love>
愛になるまで
The song "Shining" by 杉本彩 is a celebratory ode to love and relationships that bloom by chance, much like a carnival. It speaks of a lover who is deeply enamored with their partner and has no qualms expressing their affection through actions and words. The opening lines "太陽に抱かれ / きらめく波は知ってる / 砂浜のキスが / どんなに胸を燃やすか" describe the feeling of being embraced by the sun, and the know-how of shimmering waves, and how a kiss on the sandy beach can set one's heart ablaze with passion.
In the chorus, the lyrics state "輝いて... 腕の中<My Shinin' Love>蜃気楼の様に / 輝いて... 光る風が<Your Silky Love>愛になるまで," which translate to "Shine... in my arms, like a mirage / Shine...in the luminous wind, until it becomes love." Here, the singer is expressing their desire to cherish their partner and keep them close. They describe the feeling of being in love as something magical or transient, much like a mirage, that they don't want to let go of.
The lyrics "スコールの海を / さまよう船は知ってる / 運命に人は / 流されてゆくだけだと" describe the journey of love as well. The singer reflects that relationships can be turbulent, and one can feel like they are lost in a stormy sea. However, it is believed that destiny guides people, and they are merely gliding with the flow. These lyrics paint a beautiful picture of the universality of love and how it can whisk one away.
Overall, 杉本彩's song, "Shining," is a beautiful declaration of love, expressed in poetic verse. Its melody is catchy, and its lyrics are memorable, having touched the hearts of many listeners.
