Merry-go-round
Ayumi Hamasaki / 浜崎あゆみ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
君はそこにいて何を想ってる?
君にまたねって手を振ったよ
またなんてないって 知ってても
君にまたねって手を振ったよ
ほんの少しだけ 笑顔で
もう一度会っても全て過去の話 now
特に誰にってワケなく 呟くfeelings now
「これでよかった」ah「これでよかった」ah
なんて言葉 吐き出す度 魂 抜けてく ah
言うのは簡単 言うだけなら簡単
現実が迫ってきた瞬間から 落ちてく段々
結局 忘れられない二人乗る Merry Go Round
惹かれて行くのはあんなに
あっと言う間の出来事だったね
魔法にかけられてしまったみたい
「解けない呪文を教えてください」
僕はここにいて君を描いてる
そして明日もまた君を描くよ
振り返らずに進んだよ
君は僕の方 向いたかな
振り返らずに進んだよ
僕の最後の 勇気さ
Yeah, no, it don't matter now (no!) It don't matter now!
結局 忘れられない二人乗る Merry Go Round
離れて行くのはこんなに
あっと言う間の出来事なんだね
こわい夢でも見てるのかな
「夢なら今すぐに目覚めさせてください」
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la いつかは
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 今は思い出にはまだしたくない
The lyrics of Ayumi Hamasaki's song "Merry-go-round" ponder the whereabouts and thoughts of a lost love. The singer wonders where the person is, who they are with, and what they might be thinking about. Despite knowing that there might not be another chance to say goodbye, the singer waves with a smile, emphasizing a bittersweet moment of parting.
The chorus reflects a sense of resignation and moving on from the past. It doesn't matter now whether they meet again, as everything is in the past. The singer expresses their feelings without any specific reason, emphasizing the acceptance of the situation with phrases like "It's all right," implying a sense of closure and finality. The repetition of "It don't matter now" underscores a sense of letting go and accepting the reality of the situation.
The second verse describes a whirlwind of emotions and experiences that felt like a spell that drew the singer and their love interest together. The plea for the unbreakable spell to be revealed represents a desire for closure and understanding. The singer expresses their commitment to continuously think about and create art featuring the object of their affection, symbolizing a form of lasting connection and devotion.
As the song progresses, there is a sense of moving forward without looking back, questioning if the other person may have turned towards them. The finality of not turning back, along with the mention of courage being the singer's last strength, suggests a resolve to keep moving forward despite the pain of separation. The repeated mention of the "Merry Go Round" symbolizes the cycle of emotions and memories that are impossible to forget.
The final stanza evokes a sense of longing and a desire to escape the fleeting nature of reality and memories. The mention of a scary dream and the plea to be awakened from it immediately underline the discomfort and vulnerability felt in the face of the situation. The repeated "La, la, la" refrains express a mix of emotions including yearning, reluctance to let go of memories, and a desire to hold onto them a little longer before they become distant echoes of the past.
