Locked in the moon
田原 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another day
I asked myself to run away
Though I wish to stay
Forever and ever
You called my name
But I thought that it was someone else
I don't know myself
I don't know anyone but you
I I am locked in the moon
I want to be with you
Take your time
You could dance all night
and drink the lies
I closed my eyes
I wish that you could take me away
It makes you sad
Sitting on a serpent-like train heading west
How could I shine
Lying underneath your vacant smile
I I am locked in the moon




I want to be with you
La la la la la la la la la la

Another day
On yet another day


I asked myself to run away
I contemplated escaping my situation


Though I wish to stay
Despite my desire to remain


Forever and ever
For an indefinite period of time


You called my name
You addressed me


But I thought that it was someone else
However, I mistook you for someone else

But you're consuming falsehoods


I closed my eyes
I shut my eyes

It makes you sad
My current state distresses you


Sitting on a serpent-like train heading west
Riding on a train that resembles a snake, heading towards the west


How could I shine
How am I supposed to show brilliance


Lying underneath your vacant smile
Reposing under your empty smile


La la la la la la la la la la
A repetition of the 'la' sound, with no discernible meaning
