Another Song
Ayumi Hamasaki feat. Urata Naoya Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

なのになのに僕たちは
隣ばかりうらやんだ
そしてそして私たちは
近すぎて見失った

窓に写った自分が
情けなくて苛立つ
だけど時間は巻き戻せない

I miss you

悲しいくらい愛していたよ
どうしようもなく愛していたよ
あの夏の日はもう遠いけど
君に届けと歌う another song

やがてやがて僕たちは
後になって気が付く
だからだから私たちは
泣いたまま笑ってた

曲がりくねった道の
先でまた出逢えるかな
なんて愚かな夢を見ては
Miss you so bad

昨日もずっと愛していたよ
今日も一日愛していたよ
明日もきっと愛しているよ
そして君へと歌う another song

今頃君は誰のそばで
どんな顔を見せているの
君のいない毎日に
まだ慣れる事が出来ないままだよ

悲しいくらい愛していたよ
どうしようもなく愛していたよ
あの夏の日はもう遠いけど
君に届けと歌う another song

昨日もずっと愛していたよ
今日も一日愛していたよ
明日もきっと愛しているよ
そして君へと歌う another song

ごめんね今も愛しているよ
ずるいかなでも愛しているよ
あの夏の日がもう遠くても
君に届けと歌う another song

君に君に届けと

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ayumi Hamasaki's Another Song are reflective of a past relationship that was once cherished but has since been lost. The first stanza speaks to the envy both parties had for one another's neighbor, despite being too close to fully appreciate one another. The singer then goes on to express their frustration at the reflection in the window, feeling as though they cannot turn back time and fix what has been broken. The chorus expresses the intensity of the love they once shared, despite the sadness and distance they've put between one another. The second verse speaks to the realization that they were unable to see the beauty in their relationship at the time, and now look back with tears and a bittersweet smile. The bridge speaks to the longing the singer still has for their ex-partner, wondering who they are with and unable to fully move on from their love.

Overall, the song captures both the beauty and pain of a past relationship, with a focus on the missed opportunities and mistakes that led to its downfall. The lyrics convey this message in a way that is both melancholy and uplifting, with a message of hope that they will one day meet again.
