Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ながれる涙は
どれだけ美しいんだろう
思いのままに
嬉しいと言える嬉しさがあって
心のままに
淋しいと言えない淋しさがあって
素直に悲しいと言えるなら
嬉々 嬉しくなるよ ありのままを
届けたくて 泣いてるんだ
届かなくて 泣いてるんじゃない
笑いたくて 信じたくて
ながれる涙は
どれだけ美しいんだろう
僕だけしか
知らなかったはずのこの心が
本当は誰かに届けるために
生まれて宿った心だとしたら
いくつも明かりを繋いで
歩みゆく思いこそ光へ
もう ごまかさないよ
思いのたけを
守りたくて 泣いてたんだ
守れなくて 泣いてたんじゃない
歩まなくて 始まらなくて
こぼれた涙は
どれだけ悲しいんだろう
なにかを信じるため
なにかを疑ってるなら
じゃあいったい僕は信じてんのか
疑ってんのか
どっち そっち ばか ばか みたい
嘘の嘘を本当にしても
幸福は笑ってますか
幸福に笑われてますか
嬉しい気持ちが
嬉しいままでいられるように
もうこの心を
偽ることなどないように
見栄えよく着せた器用さは
脱ぎ捨てて
心情はありのままで
届けたくて 泣いてるんだ
届かなくて 泣いてるんじゃない
笑いたくて 信じたくて
ながれる涙は
どれだけ美しいんだろう
どれだけ嬉しいんだろう
The song 心情呼吸 (Shinjou Kokyuu, translated as "Heartbeat Breathing") by Kondo Kao opens with the singer expressing his desire to deliver and protect something, and wonders how beautiful the tears flowing from him are. He then talks about the contrasting emotions he can express or not express openly, such as happiness and loneliness. He says that he would feel delighted to articulate his sadness honestly. He cries because he wants to deliver his true self and not because he cannot convey what he feels. His tears are beautiful when he is laughing or crying while believing and longing for something.
The second verse talks about how this heart, which he believed only he knows, was born and exists to be shared with someone else. The tears he sheds because he cannot protect his feelings, or because he cannot take the first step, are sorrowful. He wonders if he, too, is trusting or doubting something. He reflects on how the world sees his happiness and how he cannot fake his heart anymore. He sings that he wants to be true to himself and not pretend or boast anymore. Finally, he says that he wants to laugh or cry for real, believing and hoping for something.
Overall, the theme of the song is about being true to oneself, expressing one's feelings, and believing in something. Kondo Kao's lyrics inspire listeners to stop pretending and to strip away the superficiality to reach the heart's core.
