許し合って 遠くなった
現実という幻
the fear in this crazy world
埋められない 胸のDistance
I'm lost in loving you
ありあまって 飢えていた
求めたくて ひとりになった
the fear in this crazy world
孤独の炎は Distance
I'm lost in love,
lost in loving you
Woo 愛し合う 恋人たち
oh I'm lost in you
癒しなぐさめ合う心も
見つからない
I'm lost in love
I'm lost in love
I'm lost in you
A distance lies between us
as long as my fear
Woo 愛し合う 恋人たち
oh I'm lost in you
ひとつになることない 愛だから
I'm lost in love
I'm lost in love,
I'm lost in you
Close the distance
Melt my fear
A masquerade in this crazy world
The indifference of city life
I'm lost
The lyrics to 浜田麻里's song ~ Love Maker ~ explore the intense emotions of being in love and experiencing the fear and distance that often comes with such an intense feeling. The song begins with the singer describing the bittersweet feeling of being so overwhelmed with love that she can't help but laugh and cry at the same time. She then touches on the idea that as much as two people in love may try to forgive each other and come together, sometimes things still feel far away and illusionary. The fear in this "crazy world" is a theme that runs throughout the song, highlighting the ways in which the outside world can disrupt and add distance to a loving relationship.
The next verse delves deeper into the singer's experience of love, explaining how she felt suffocated by the desire she had for her partner. She longed to be with them and ultimately found herself isolated and alone. Again, the theme of "distance" - both physical and emotional - features strongly, pointing to the struggles of maintaining a relationship under difficult circumstances. The chorus brings together these themes, with the singer expressing how she feels "lost in love" and that even the act of finding comfort in each other's hearts is proving elusive. There is a sense of desperation and fear present in the song, but also an undercurrent of hope - perhaps if they can just "close the distance" and "melt the fear" they can find a way through.
Overall, 浜田麻里's song ~ Love Maker ~ is a powerful and emotional exploration of the highs and lows of loving another person. The lyrics reflect the difficulties that can arise when two people try to come together in a world that often feels distant and illusionary, but also the hope and beauty that can be found in that struggle.

この曲、もしカバーされることがあったら、どなたが良さそうでしょうか?男女問わず、高音のファルセット、ウィスパーボイスが生かされる歌手が良さそうでしょうか?男性だと、三代目J Soul Brothersの今市隆二さんがカバーすると合いそうかな?と思いました。
