メールの涙
Chocolove from AKB48 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

メールの涙
溢れていても
いつもの言葉だけじゃ
気がつかないでしょう

慣れてない恋だから
聞き方がわからなくて
偶然の出来事が
意味ありげに
愛を遠回りする
9月の風が
通り過ぎる
交差点で見かけた
あなたと歩く
知らない彼女
心の疑問符
メールの涙
絵文字じゃなくて
いつもとどこか違う
切なさを隠して
メールの涙
見えない思い
泣きそうな分だけ
わざと明るく
両手で打った
愛しい人へ

電話して話したら
ぎこちない私でしょう
今日までの関係を
失くしてまで
愛を確かめられない
女の人と
歩くくらい
何でもないことでも
自分のことが
嫌になるほど
答えを探すの
メールのノック
「今日 何してた?」
最後に打った文字が
せいいっぱいだった
メールのノック
返信待つわ
心配をしたこと
笑えるような
思い過ごしを
返して欲しい

メールの涙
絵文字じゃなくて
いつもとどこか違う
切なさを隠して
メールの涙
見えない思い
泣きそうな分だけ
わざと明るく




両手で打った
愛しい人へ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "メールの涙" or "Tears of a Text Message" by AKB48 delve into the complexity of modern love in the digital age. The song talks about a girl who is in love but finds it hard to express herself through text messages. The words she types and sends are not enough to convey the depth of her emotions. The tears she sheds while typing may overflow, but the person on the other end may not be able to grasp the true meaning of what she's trying to say. This sense of longing and confusion is also reflected in the music video where the girls are shown trying to send messages to their crushes but struggling with the words.


The lyrics also touch upon the fear of losing the relationship because of not being able to express love properly. The singer is hesitant about calling the person she likes because she feels that it might ruin the relationship they have built through texting. Despite this, she longs to confirm her feelings and take the relationship to the next level. She is willing to risk the uncertainty and awkwardness of the phone call to confirm her love.


Overall, the song portrays the inadequacy of texting as a means of communication when it comes to matters of the heart. It emphasizes the importance of direct communication and the need to express oneself clearly and thoroughly to avoid misunderstandings.
