Angela Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

tsutsumikomu yawarakana
hikari ni kimi wo kasaneta
kirameku kodou oto ni naranai "ai" wa
kokoro mannaka de chanto sodatteru yo
misete agetai

deai kara nani wo moratta no?
wakare kara nani wo manan da no?
kono kaku wa yuruginai "ai" wo chikaeru
michite hiku ushio ni madowasare
michite kakeru tsuki ni me wo ubawareru kedo

sunao ni naratte atashi ni iu




sore ga "rashisa" tte koto na no
motto umaku tsutaerarereba ii ne kimi ni

Overall Meaning

The introduction to Angela's song "CORE" is a beautiful and introspective piece that questions the nature of love and explores the intensity of emotions. The lyrics begin by describing a soft and gentle light that surrounds the singer, created by the love of another. The heartbeat of the singer sparkles brightly, but the word "ai" (love) doesn't make a sound. Nonetheless, love is growing strong within the singer's heart and they want to show it to the world.


The next verse starts with a question: "What did you gain from meeting me? What did you learn from parting with me?" These questions bring up the idea of how the experiences one has with someone else can shape their lives, even if they are only temporary. The singer then vows to cherish the unshakeable and unwavering love that has been born in themselves, even if it causes them to be swayed by the waves of the ocean or to have their eyes stolen by the shining moon.


The singer concludes by asking the listener to listen carefully to the words they speak. They talk about how expressing oneself honestly is difficult, but it is important for the sake of portraying one's true character. The singer wishes they could communicate their feelings to their loved one better.
