パッとした瞬間
林田健司 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

それはパッとした瞬間だね
心はあの日のままさ
それでもいいじゃん
これでもいいじゃん
それでもいいじゃん
あのままで
この街を離れて
何かを探しだそうと

僕等の時間よりも
孤独を選んだんだ君は
光がつつむ街
確かに君を変えるかもしれないけど
記憶達がうすれかけて行くよ
求めたのはこんな寒い夜じゃない
それはパッとした瞬間だね
答えを決めたのは
言葉の後ろに心を隠したままで
それでもいいじゃん
これでもいいじゃん
それでもいいじゃん
襟をたてたコートに
涙を隠したままで
強い女性(ひと)を今も
演じているんじゃないのかな
届かない手紙に
不安にもなるけれど
遠くから見てる
一人きりの夜は君を思う
一人きりの体、心抱きしめて
それはパッとした瞬間だよ
あの日を後悔する
最後のくちづけが
別れを決めたのかな？
二人で過ごせたら
すべては変わったのかな？
少しだけ振り向いた
笑顔を忘れられない

それはパッとした瞬間だね
答えを決めたのは
言葉の後ろに心を隠したまま
もう一度見つめあい
気持ちを交わせるのなら
手に入れたすべてさえ投げだし
かけてゆくのに
それでもいいじゃん
これでもいいじゃん
それでもいいじゃん
それでもいいじゃん

これでもいいじゃん
それでもいいじゃん

Overall Meaning

The song "パッとした瞬間" by 林田健司 centers on the idea of a fleeting moment of clarity that can often hit us unexpectedly, but then fades away just as quickly. The singer reminisces about a time when things were simpler and life was easier to understand. They talk about how, despite the passage of time, they still feel the same as they did back then. The singer is content with this feeling, even if nothing has really changed in their life since that time. They are okay with remaining in their current situation and they are not necessarily seeking any major changes or answers.

The second verse centers on the idea of loneliness and the sacrifices we make to pursue our goals. The singer talks about how the person they're discussing has chosen to pursue their own path, even if it means being alone. The singer wonders if this person has changed since they last saw them, but ultimately concludes that memories can often fade with time. The song then shifts to talk about the singer's own feelings of regret and the idea that they may have missed out on something important. They wonder if a last kiss signaled the end of a relationship and think about how different things might have been if they had stayed together. The song ends with the singer coming to terms with the idea that even if they throw everything away and start over, that one fleeting moment of clarity might still be just as difficult to find.
