Chemistry Lyrics

巻き戻す 1時間前まで
さよならは言ったはずなのに
引き返す朝に染まる道を
初めての愛は逃さない

思い出しても恋と呼べない
瞳さえ読めない街
ひと夜のための相手をさがす

僕に君は身あずけ鍵はずす

｢永遠｣はコトバの中だけに
本当の自分は見せない
顔のない女を呼び寄せては
きつく抱く渇きいやすため

はじめてなのに懐かしい肌
ただ忘れられなくて
方程式が見当たらないよ
カラダだけがもうココロ
踏みはずす

Ooh せつなくて
君と別れてから
Ooh 苦しくてもう一度
君に会いたくて

巻き戻す 1時間前まで
さよならは言ったはずなのに
引き返す朝に染まる道を
初めての愛は逃さない
失って初めて知る重さ
名前さえ聞かずに別れて

この気持ちそれを愛と呼ぼう
はじめからもう一度始めよう

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Chemistry's song "Rewind" express the regret of a past love that has left a longing for someone you once loved. In the first stanza, the singer wishes to go back in time to the moment before the goodbye was uttered, and the regret for missing out on the love that was felt at the time. The second stanza expresses the confusion and uncertainty of a city that is no longer recognized as familiar, with no clear understanding of what love is anymore. The singer goes on to describe searching for temporary comfort in the form of a partner for a night, and confesses that the first love never really escaped their heart.

In the third stanza, the singer describes the longing felt for one they loved and lost, and the difficulty in forgetting the familiar touch and skin of that person. There is regret expressed in the inability to find a solution to the equation of love, with only the body and heart feeling unsatisfied. The chorus expresses the sadness and pain felt after a breakup, with a desire to turn back time and see that person once more. The last stanza offers hope for beginning once again from the start, and calls the feelings of longing and heartbreak love.
