Beside You
椎名へきる Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

このまま二人愛と夢がいる場所まで
果てしない宇宙(そら)に
憧れまた歩いてゆく
いつか君は泣いた
「夢がわからない」と
いつか君は言った「愛が臆病だ」と
いつか君は泣いた
「永遠(とわ)が嘘をつく」と

そして君は聞いた
「人はどこへ行くの?」
どこまでも流れてく
雲を追いかけてた
流れゆく時間を忘れて...
このまま二人愛と夢がいる場所まで
オレンジ色の風に吹かれて
歩いてゆく
いつの日か僕の時計が動かなく
なるまで
あなたを想い僕は愛の歌を歌うよ
I Will be right beside you

いつか星は死んだ
その使命を果たして
いつか夢は冷める君に叶えられて
いつまでも輝いて
守りぬくつらさを
僕たちはまだ知らずにいた...
このまま二人愛と夢がいる場所まで
果てしない宇宙(そら)に憧れまた
歩いていく
いつの日か君の時計が動かなく
なるまで
あなたは僕に夢の
続きを聞かせていてね
I Will be right beside you

このまま二人愛と夢がいる場所まで
どこまでも歩けるところまで
歩いてゆく
いつか二人の時計が動かなく
なっても
最後に僕は君を君は僕を思う
このまま二人愛も夢も叶えられたら
どこまでも歩けるところまで
歩いていく
もしも僕らが愛と夢に疲れた時は

同じ痛みに触れて
抱いて一緒に眠ろう

Overall Meaning

These lyrics explore the journey of two individuals who are deeply in love, as well as their dreams and aspirations. The song begins with the singer expressing their desire to continue walking alongside their loved one, towards a place where love and dreams exist. They reminisce about the times when their partner doubted their dreams and questioned the nature of love, and when they themselves cried due to the realization that eternity can be deceptive. The lyrics also touch upon the existential question of where humans go when they leave this world.

The narrative shifts to acknowledging that stars eventually die, fulfilling their purpose, and dreams can fade, but the singer wishes for their loved one to continue shining forever. They reflect on how they were unaware of the pain and challenges that come with protecting and nurturing dreams. The chorus repeats the desire to reach a place where love and dreams can exist, to be blown by the orange-colored wind.
