ひとり芝居
石川セリ Lyrics

The lyrics to "ひとり芝居" by 石川セリ tells the story of a woman who is reminiscing about a past relationship. The first verse describes how she whispers her lover's name, imitating his soft voice. She fondly remembers how he called her name and sighs as if that moment was just yesterday. The next verse describes how she is reminded of him when she sees the white blouse with tea stains, thinking that maybe it was the tea that he spilled. Even if the stains can be wiped away, the sadness in her heart cannot be erased. The third verse talks about how she remembers his preference for two sugars in his tea, and how she feels alone without him. She is filled with sadness and loneliness, and the memories of their love haunt her.

As the song progresses, the woman reflects on how the summer has passed without her lover, and all she has left are memories. She flips through the calendar, hoping to forget about him. The last verse describes how she cannot return the books she borrowed from him, nor can she get rid of the emptiness that fills her heart. She wonders where she can put her heart, the one that has no one to hold it. The woman then reminisces about how they used to listen to records together, and how she is left empty without him. The song closes with her saying that even if she speaks to him, he is not there, and all she feels is sorrow.
