Twilight
矢島舞依 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
口を吐く虚しさも許されるの?
あなたの辛さ ひとつ足したら
私の幸せになった
窓を縫う空の色で 陽の昇りを知る
何処で間違えたのかは 知らない
無機質に閉ざす 終の牢獄
絶え間なく
始まり終わりと 彷徨い歩いた
光も十字架もない孤独
触れた温もりは ただ消えてゆくの
どうしても 償えない想いの果て
そう 生きるとは 何と似てるだろう?
春は芽吹いた 花の匂いに
夏は染み入る熱に秘密重ねて
秋は小鳥を 実りを愛でて
冬は温度を手探った
天鵞絨敷きの手箱に 今もある指輪
不釣り合いの痩せた指 たたんだ
思い出に軋む 永久の揺り籠
私を 許さないでいて
止め処なく
朝も夜もない 薄闇の心
寄せては返す波のように
私を削って ただ朽ちてゆくの
どうしたら 届くか魂の声
嗚呼 見上げれば 愛は見えたのか?
絶え間なく
始まり終わりと 彷徨い歩いた
光も十字架もない孤独
触れた温もりは ただ消えてゆくの
どうしても 償えない想いの果て
そう 生きるとは 死とは何なのか?
The lyrics of "Twilight" by 矢島舞依 are infused with deep emotions and reflect the pain of unrequited love. The song talks about the dilemma of holding on to someone who doesn't love you back and the struggle to move on, even if it means letting go of the person you love. The opening lines ("If ""for someone"" is a lie, is the emptiness uttered also allowed? If I add one of your sorrows, it became my happiness.") pose a deep question about the nature of love and the sacrifices we make in the name of love. The song further delves into the darkness of loneliness and the hopelessness that comes with the realization that love might never be fulfilled.
The imagery used in the song is poignant and rich in emotions. The song uses the metaphor of the changing seasons to signify the changing emotions of the singer. The lines "Spring brings the scent of flowers, summer secrets hidden in the heat, autumn admiring the fruit and birds, winter searches for heat" paint a picture of the fleeting nature of time and how each season passes, just like love.
In the end, the song leaves a profound impact by questioning the meaning of life and death. It poses the question, "What is living? What is dying?" – a question that lingers long after the song has ended.
