毛皮のマリーズ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ねむれ 母のない子のように
ネオンも街路樹も 夢見る恋人も ...
星のカーテンコールに
しばしの別れ
すぐにまた会おう
少女は恋をする
少年は少女のヒーロー
そのあどけない頬をバラ色にそめ
同じ夢を見る
そして 愛の日々よ
それぞれの日々よ
銀色の夢に沈む夜
きみは僕だけのビューティ
眠れ 愛の日々よ
きみと僕の日々よ
黄金の月に照らされて
おやすみ僕の東京
誰よりもステキさ
おはよう、美しい人 ...
言葉にするだけで 涙がこぼれそう
愛しきかたちないもの
僕らはそれを
――"東京"と、呼ぼう
そして 愛の日々よ
それぞれの日々よ
銀色の夢に沈む夜
きみは僕だけのビューティ
眠れ 愛の日々よ
きみと僕の日々よ
黄金の月に照らされて
おやすみ僕の東京
そして 愛の日々よ
それぞれの日々よ
眠れ 愛の日々よ
きみと僕の日々よ
夜明けの街を見下ろすふたり
――東京に、朝が来る
These lyrics paint a picture of a city, specifically Tokyo, at night. The first two lines, "Goodnight, city lights" and "Sleep, like a motherless child", create a sense of calmness and vulnerability. The city, filled with neon lights, street trees, and dreaming lovers, is personified as a mother figure who provides comfort and protection. However, the mention of a curtain call by the stars suggests a temporary parting, with the promise of meeting again soon.
The next verse suggests a young love story, with a girl falling in love and a boy becoming her hero. Despite being physically apart, they share the same dreams, highlighted by the girl blushing with innocence. The lyrics emphasize the beauty and happiness of these days of love, as the night sinks into silver dreams. It seems the singer addresses a beloved person as their "beauty" and bids them goodnight, claiming Tokyo to be their own.
In the chorus, the lyrics express a desire to label their beautiful and indescribable love as "Tokyo". They acknowledge that it is more wonderful than anyone else's, and just the mention of it brings tears to their eyes. It could be interpreted that "Tokyo" represents a special and unique kind of love, one that cannot be fully explained or understood through words alone.
Continuing with the chorus, the lyrics return to the silver dreams that the night brings, once again addressing the beloved as their "beauty". The mention of a golden moon illuminating their love suggests a sense of enchantment and romance. The singer wishes their beloved a goodnight, referring to Tokyo as their own personal city.
Finally, the lyrics in the last chorus mirror the previous ones, with a focus on the days of love and a call to sleep peacefully in those feelings. The mention of the sunrise in Tokyo marks a new beginning, as morning arrives over the city. It implies that no matter the night or day, their love will continue to shine and flourish in Tokyo.
