探偵物語
薬師丸ひろ子 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

あんなに激しい潮騒が
あなたの背後で黙りこむ

身動きも出来ないの
見つめられて

夢で叫んだように
くちびるは動くけれど
言葉は風になる
好きよ でもね
たぶん きっと

話を外らして歩いても
心はそのまま置き去りね

昨日からはみ出した
私がいる

波の頁をめくる
時の見えない指さき
自信はないけれど
好きよ でもね
たぶん きっと

まだ早い夏の陽が
あとずさるわ

透明な水の底
硝子の破片が光る
だから気をつけてね
好きよ でもね
たぶん きっと

夢で叫んだように
くちびるは動くけれど
言葉は風になる
好きよ でもね
たぶん きっと





離れて見つめないで

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "探偵物語" (Tantei Monogatari, Detective Story) by Yashimaru Hiroko, released in 1984 in Japan. The song portrays the longing of someone who loves another, but is unable to express their feelings. The lyrics are poetic, with intricate metaphors and imagery that convey strong emotions.


The song begins with the loud sound of the ocean waves, which suddenly become quiet behind the person the singer loves. The singer is so captivated by their loved one that they are unable to move, almost as if they are paralyzed. The singer's lips move as if they are screaming in their dreams, but they are unable to express their true feelings. The singer knows they are in love, but they cannot be sure if their feelings are reciprocated. This uncertainty lingers throughout the song, with the singer seemingly resigned to the fact that their love may not be returned.


The second verse begins with the singer describing their inner turmoil, stating that even if they try to walk away from their feelings, their heart remains in the same place. The singer sees themselves as an outsider, someone who does not belong in the same world as their loved one. The singer then describes the beauty of the ocean waves and the fragility of glass shards on the ocean floor. The song ends with the singer once again stating their love, but also acknowledging that their love may remain unrequited.


Overall, the song "探偵物語" is a beautiful expression of longing and uncertainty, with lyrics that are rich in imagery and emotion.
