matsuge nurasu yasashii aoi ame
musekinin na jibun to tsugi no BASU made katariaou
Now listen to this
kitto kuru mukae matte ita oka de
tsukisasaru you na yuugure no kaze
mabuta tojitemo mada yakitsuita mama
kizuato yume ni shitara She tried them all.
Been through so much pain.
I'm sorry I couldn't stop the rain.
Life fell apart just in a vain.
atsui hoho wo awase genjitsu wasure
sono mama toki ni mi wo makase
asa mezameta naraba subete no koto wa
tooi hi no omoide
BASUtei ni se motarete
fushigi sou ni mitsumeru kodomo ga
sakeyou to suru watashi wo
kagami no you ni utsushidasu
kotae wo dashita no wa jibun
But it took my breath away.
What funny is, you know,
I cried but shed no tears.
kawasu yakusoku omoidasu koe yume genjitsu
kimi inai e
sameta me MONOKURO no gogo
sou doko made yurushitemo mada susundemo
mata modoru kono basho ni
kako no sora utai kimi ni ai ni
When you recall me in your memories
itsumo no you ni modoritaku mo nai
koko ni wa kimi wa konai
dakedo hidzuke wa kawatteku
Been through so much pain
BASUtei ni se motarete
usuku shiroku aketeku asahi ga
senaka wo oshiteru kara
tsugi ni tomatta BASU ni norou
So many tears but I tried to face my fears
When you recall me in your memories oh
When you recall me in your memories
When you recall me in your memories oh...
The song "Silence" by BENNIE K is an emotional reflection on the pain of loss and the struggle to move forward. The opening lines "When you recall me in your memories, soaked eyelashes and gentle blue rain, with a carefree self, let's chat until the next bus stop" set the stage for a mournful and introspective piece. The singer is addressing a past love or friend and acknowledging the memories they share, and the sadness that comes with those memories. The lyric "been through so much pain, I'm sorry I couldn't stop the rain, life fell apart just in a vain" speaks to the despair the singer feels about not being able to prevent the hurt they and others have experienced.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more abstract and poetic, painting a picture of a world that is fading away. The line "deep scars, in my dream, she tried them all" is particularly poignant, suggesting that the singer has been through countless struggles and traumas. The chorus, "When you recall me in your memories, always as you were, even if you don't want to go back, you're not here anymore, but the days keep changing" reinforces the idea that the singer is struggling to move on from a past that is now out of reach.
The latter half of the song focuses more on the singer's personal journey towards healing. The line "so many tears but I tried to face my fears" suggests that the singer has made a conscious effort to confront their emotions and not let themselves be consumed by them. The closing line "When you recall me in your memories, oh..." is sung almost as a whisper, conveying a sense of finality and acceptance.
Overall, "Silence" is a heartfelt and poignant song that captures the universal experience of loss and the search for closure.

I'm sorry for not being able to stop the tears
Life fell apart just in a vain.
My life crumbled into nothingness

Close my hot cheeks and forget the reality

Leave everything to time

Leaning against the bus stop

Makes me want to scream out

Reflects me like a mirror

The one who gave the answer was me
But it took my breath away.
Surprised me
What funny is, you know,
What's funny is
I cried but shed no tears.
I cried, but my tears didn't fall
kawasu yakusoku omoidasu koe yume genjitsu
The promises exchanged, remembered voices, dreams and reality
kimi inai e
In a place without you
sameta me MONOKURO no gogo
Eyes opened in a monochrome afternoon
sou doko made yurushitemo mada susundemo
Yes, no matter how many times I forgive, I'm still moving forward
mata modoru kono basho ni
Returning to this place once again

Singing to the sky of the past, I go towards you
When you recall me in your memories oh
When you remember me
itsumo no you ni modoritaku mo nai
I don't want to go back like always
koko ni wa kimi wa konai
You're not here
dakedo hidzuke wa kawatteku
But the date keeps changing
BASUtei ni se motarete
Leaning against the bus stop
usuku shiroku aketeku asahi ga
The pale white morning sun lights up
senaka wo oshiteru kara
Pushing my back
tsugi ni tomatta BASU ni norou
I'll get on the next stopped bus
So many tears but I tried to face my fears
I cried so much, but I tried to face my fears
When you recall me in your memories oh...
When you remember me...
