Sweet Memories
雨宮天 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

なつかしい痛みだわ
ずっと前に忘れていた
でもあなたを見たとき
時間だけ後戻りしたの

「幸福?」と聞かないで
嘘つくのは上手じゃない
友だちならいるけど
あんなには燃えあがれなくて

失った夢だけが
美しく見えるのは何故かしら
過ぎ去った優しさも今は
甘い記憶 sweet memories

Don't kiss me baby we can never be
So don't add more pain
Please don't hurt me again
I have spent so many nights
Thinking of you longing for your touch
I have once loved you so much

あの頃は若過ぎて
悪戯に傷つけあった二人
色褪せた哀しみも今は
遠い記憶 sweet memories

失った夢だけが
美しく見えるのは何故かしら




過ぎ去った優しさも今は
甘い記憶 sweet memories

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from 雨宮天's song "SWEET MEMORIES" reflect on a bittersweet past love. The singer expresses that the pain they feel is nostalgic and something they had long forgotten. However, upon seeing the person they used to love, time seems to rewind and the memories resurface. The lyrics convey the singer's hesitation and conflict. They don't want to lie and say they are happy without that person, but they also admit they can't love them as intensely as before, even though they have friends who support them.


The chorus reflects on the beauty of lost dreams and how they seem to only be visible in retrospect. The kindness and sweetness of the past now only exist as sweet memories. The singer warns the person not to kiss them because they can never be together, and they don't want to experience more pain. The singer has spent countless nights thinking about the person and yearning for their touch, indicating that their love used to be intense.


The second verse talks about how they were both too young back then, hurting each other playfully. The sadness of those memories has now faded, becoming distant sweet memories. Overall, the lyrics capture the complex emotions of looking back on a past love, the pain of nostalgia, and the acceptance that things have changed.
