amari ni mo sugite ita tsuki hi wo umetanda
saegiru tame no kyori ha yagate jiseki ni natte
migatta na kono te ha ima kimi ni sotto fureta
taisetsu to kizuita kimi no kioku ha modoranai
doredake negatte ite mo

tsuioku to aimai na Ivory kuuhaku ha meikaku Irony
Tell me the answer...
toikaketa fukai kiri ni tsutsumareta kimi no kako ni
todokanai kotoba ga donna ni muryoku ka wo oshiete kureta
A vain hope. Can't I feel you?
My hands are searching for your lost memory.
oboeteiru to sou itte yo

mirai na do sutete mo ii to omotta

tsuioku to aimai na Ivory kuuhaku ha meikaku Irony
Tell me the answer...

Tell me the answer...
The lyrics of "Ivory and Irony" by DELUHI speak of memories that are not easily forgotten, the pain of lost love and the harsh reality of life's ironies. The first stanza talks about how even though time has passed, some things have not changed at all, and the memory of someone's smile has become a treasure buried deep in the past. The second stanza describes the distance between two people who were once close, and how his hands long for something they can no longer touch. The third stanza is a cry for help, asking for guidance to understand why some things cannot be said or understood.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Ivory and Irony," contrasting the symbolism of ivory's purity with the harshness of irony. The lyrics describe how the purity of love has been contaminated by the harsh reality of life, how the memories of the past are bittersweet and how empty spaces are filled with cruel truths. The song's overall message is about the difficulty of moving on from a past love and the struggle to reconcile that love with the realities of life.
