なのにあいつ
渡辺真知子 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

あいつの話を人にきかせる度に
あいつのイメージ美しく変る
「そんないいひとと
どうして別れたの？」
なんにも知らない友だち不思議そう
愛の証がちょっぴりほしくてね
一緒に死んでと身体を投げただけ
なのにあいつそれきりあいつ

だけどあいつ結局あいつ
私にはやさしすぎ
自分にはきびしすぎた

別れた男の名前忘れるために
いつしか"あいつ"と
呼ぶようになった
「あなたそのひとを
今でも好きなのね」
不幸を知らない友だちうなづいた
私本気で死ぬ気はなかったわ
甘えてみたくて生命をあずけたの
なのにあいつそれきりあいつ
だけどあいつ結局あいつ
私にはやさしすぎ
自分にはきびしすぎた
愛の証がちょっぴりほしくてね
一緒に死んでと身体を投げただけ
なのにあいつそれきりあいつ
だけどあいつ結局あいつ

私にはやさしすぎ
自分にはきびしすぎた

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 渡辺真知子's song "なのにあいつ" explore the complicated emotions that arise after a breakup. The singer finds that every time she talks about her ex to others, the image of him in her mind becomes more beautiful. Her friends, who don't know the full story, wonder why she would leave such a wonderful person. However, the reality is that despite her longings for the "proof of love" that she never received from him, she was ultimately too afraid to die for him and only threw her body as a way to seek attention.

The singer bears no ill will towards her ex, who she has begun referring to as just "あいつ" (that guy) as a way to forget his name. However, she acknowledges that he was too kind to her and too hard on himself. Despite her wish to be closer to him and her insecurity, she couldn't bring herself to sacrifice her own life for him. In the end, she realizes that although she could never fully understand their relationship, it was a learning experience and one that she will always cherish.
