結城アイラ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

叶わない願ごと持て余して
歩き出すくちびる歌いながら

残された気持ちへと
冷たい雨降りかかる

忘れたいと忘れないと
ゆらゆら廻りながら

沈む心ワザと君に
I'm tellin' a lie

形のない二人だからこそ
大事にしたのに
訊きたい...
今ここで何もかも話したら
変わるのですか?

聞き飽きた言い訳を信じるなら
新しい何かを約束して

先をゆく背中には
囁いても届かない

教えようか教えないよ
さらさら髪が跳ねる
秘密だけどいつか君に
I'll preset my love

消えない愛だけどまだ胸に
しまっておこうね
それでも...
大きくてこわれそう
私には持てないくらい
切なさ計れないほど

消えない愛だけどまだ胸に
しまっておこうね
それでも...
大きくて恐くなる
ときめきが...
形のない二人だからこそ
大事にしたのに
訊きたい...
今ここで何もかも話したら

変わるのですか?
Um...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 結城アイラ's song セカイノナミダ (Sekai no Namida) describe the feeling of unfulfilled desires and the struggle to move on from them. The singer walks while singing to herself, trying to cope with the rain falling on her unresolved emotions. She knows she wants to forget, but can't quite let go. She lies to herself about the sinking feeling in her heart, pretending that it's not there. The song goes on to suggest that the pain of unrequited love is so great that it cannot be measured, but the singer will hold onto it anyway, cherishing it as an important part of her life. She wonders if speaking about it would change anything, or if it would just make things worse.

In the final section of the song, the singer speaks about the impossibility of reaching out to the person she loves, knowing that they will not hear her. She confesses her love as a secret that she keeps, unable to express it to the person she loves. The singer recognizes the sadness and fear that come with loving someone who cannot love her back, but she still clings to the feeling, unable to let go.
