Boøwy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Party の後の静けさに二人
転がるグラスが嘘の数だけ
今夜いつもよりも ちょっとイカしてるぜ
しゃべりすぎたから少し眠るよ

Baby, just I need you, just I love you tonight
Wow, just I need you, just I love you tonight
悲しがらす様な事を重ねてきた
いつでも涙を気づかないふり
今さらの愛と笑ってもいいぜ
正直に言うと 今夜キメたから

Baby, just I need you, just I love you tonight
Wow, just I need you, just I love you tonight

何故かカタルシスに酔った夜だから
Oh baby 今は何も言わず抱かれておくれ

Thank you for waiting, baby, I love you forever
Thank you for waiting, baby, I love you forever
Thank you for waiting, baby, I love you forever
Thank you for waiting 愛しているのさ

何故かカタルシスに酔った夜だから
Oh baby 今は何も言わず抱かれておくれ

Thank you for waiting, baby, I love you forever
Thank you for waiting, baby, I love you forever
Thank you for waiting, baby, I love you forever
Thank you for waiting 愛しているのさ

Thank you for waiting, baby, I love you forever
Thank you for waiting, baby, I love you forever




Thank you for waiting, baby, I love you forever
Thank you for waiting, I love you longer than forever

Overall Meaning

The Japanese song "Longer Than Forever" by Boøwy is a powerful love song that has a deep feel to it. The song is about two people who are spending time together after a party, and despite everything that has happened in their past, they have finally found a genuine love for each other. The opening lines describe the stillness of the night after the party when two people are lying on the ground amid the glasses that have been scattered everywhere. The glasses that are scattered all around them signify the number of lies that have been told between them, but they are now ready to be honest with each other.


The singer talks about how they have built up a lot of sadness in their past, but tonight is different. They are in love and they are not afraid to show it. The chorus, with the repetition of "Just I need you, just I love you tonight" emphasizes a sense of urgent necessity for the person they are in love with, which is why they want to hold and embrace them through the night, without any words. The lyrics "何故かカタルシスに酔った夜だから" (nakuseka katarushisu ni yotta yoru dakara – Because tonight we got drunk on catharsis) is the emotional highlight of the song, where it seems that the two are experiencing a sense of release from pent-up emotions that have been holding them back. The song concludes with the expression of gratitude to the partner for waiting for them all this time, and assuring that their love will last longer than forever.


Overall, the song is about two people expressing their genuine feelings of love for each other, without any pretensions or guardedness, and are now holding each other through the silent and still night, knowing that they have found what they were looking for in life.
