Faceless
Eir Aoi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

今も移ろう君の面影
いくつもの日々を越え辿り着いた
流れゆく時の狭間で
かわす口づけは
寂しさと切なさに
満たされてたから

眠る君の頬をつたう

その涙を感じて
近づけないその姿に
手をのばして抱きよせる
偽りの微笑みが彷徨う

二人寄り添い時を重ねて
凍る君の世界を包めたなら

寂しさつのらせて君は
強がりの笑顔
今もまだあのヒトを
感じたとしても

そばにいたい想いだけが
胸の奥をこがして
君が描く孤独の空
触れられない心に
終わることなく時はゆらめく

眠る君の頬をつたう
その涙を感じて
近づけないその姿に
手をのばして抱きよせる
偽りの微笑みが彷徨う

今も移ろう君の面影

いくつもの日々を越え
辿り着いた

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eir Aoi's song 'Faceless' are about longing for someone who is no longer beside the singer. The opening lines talk about how the image of the person they miss is still changing, even as time passes. The singer has gone through countless days to arrive at this point, where they are trying to find comfort in memories. In the midst of passing time, the kisses they shared (with the person they miss) were full of both loneliness and nostalgia. As the singer watches the person they miss sleeping, they feel the tears that are sliding down their cheeks. They reach out to embrace them, but can't because it's just a memory.

The singer talks about how they have spent a significant amount of time with this person, trying to heal their frozen world. They want to be able to wrap them up in warmness and give them a feeling of security. Even if the person they miss is still around, they still feel their absence. They are constantly thinking about them and their smile, which is but a facade. They want to be by their side, but are unable to do so. As long as time passes, they know that their feelings for this person will not fade.
