薬師丸ひろ子 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
惑わされて ためらわれて
幾度となく 言いそびれた
本当のこと 今話すわ
少し寒い あなたの部屋
向かい合って 見つめ合って
もしかしたら これが最後
想い出さえ 意味を失くす
このまま 偽り続けることがあなたをもっと深く傷つけるわ
一度はあれほど燃えたふたりだから
なおさら 友達にも戻れない
こんなに 知り尽くした そのあとでは
恋と呼べば 甘すぎるわ
愛と呼べば 重すぎるわ
だけど彼に ついて行くわ
街の噂 気にしないで
優しさだけ 求めたけど
優しさでは 足りなかった
誰が悪い わけじゃなくて
ただすべてが 運命だと
許して 新しい夢を選んだ私を
あなたと描けなかった
明日を.むために 歩き出すの
いつしか 笑い話になる時が来たなら
どこかで すれ違っても
知らない振りしないで 声かけてね
The lyrics to 薬師丸ひろ子's song 終楽章 describe a bittersweet breakup between two people who were once deeply in love. The singer is hesitant to reveal her true feelings, but ultimately decides to come clean. The two sit facing each other in a slightly chilly room, both knowing that this may be the last time they see each other. Memories lose their meaning in the face of the impending separation. The singer pleads with her former lover not to blame her for changing her mind and pretending to still be in love - she knows that this will only hurt him more deeply.
The second verse reflects on the depth of the relationship that once existed between the two, and how difficult it is to move on to being just friends. The singer acknowledges that their love was both too sweet and too heavy to bear the weight of the inevitable breakup. Despite this, she still follows her ex-lover, ignoring the gossip of the town and knowing that simple kindness was not enough to sustain their love. She emphasizes that it wasn't anyone's fault, and that it was simply their destiny to go their separate ways. The singer asks her former lover to forgive her for choosing a new dream without him and to not ignore her if they happen to meet in the future.
