恋
19 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
うつむいてても 時間は 変わらず 追いこすよ 平等であるわきゃない
夜は秒針を また のろまにし、それに比べ 君は眠 遊ぶ
ずっと ずっと いつも電話を待ってるよ?
ちょっとだっていいよ 声がきけるのなら
かけひきとぼくが、わざとひいても 知らんぷりでケロッとしてんでしょ?
やっぱ どうも ぼくの勘違いみたいさ
ぼくだけ といつも 信じてみたけれど そうでもないみたい
うすうすどこか 気付いちゃ いたけれど やっぱり ちと、ツライ
それもすべて「愛」と呼べれば いいのですが そんなに強かない
ずっと ずっと きみを 大好きなんだけど
なんか ちょっと すこし 上手く笑えないよぉ
一緒にいると 何故か哀しい うれしいはずなんだけど
ずっと ずっと きみと 歩きたかったけど
ちょっと ぼくは 少し 早足だったかなぁ?
ずっと ずっと 今も 電話を待ってるよ?
情けなくて 格好 悪いのは承知さ
ずっと ずっと 君と歩きたかったけど
ちょっと ぼくは 少し 早足だったかなぁ?
The song "Koi" by 19 tells the story of unrequited love and the struggles that come with it. The first verse speaks of the many negative aspects of life that the singer experiences, but despite them all, they don't want to give up on their love. They feel like time is continuously chasing them and that they cannot catch up with it. The comparison of the slow ticking of the clock and the carefree manner in which the person they love sleeps shows the stark contrast between the two.
The chorus reflects the lonely nature of the singer's love. They wait endlessly for their love to call, no matter how infrequent the calls are. Even if they know that their love intentionally ignores their calls, they choose to remain in denial. The lyrics convey an inner conflict between what they want to believe and what they know to be true.
The second verse speaks about the singer's hopelessness in their understanding of love. They want to believe that their love is mutual but are disappointed when they realize that it's not. Even though they knew deep down that it was unlikely, they still tried to believe it.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the realities of love, showing that not everyone gets what they want in a relationship. It speaks to the pain that comes with unreciprocated love and the internal struggle to accept it.
