Exile Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

言葉の隙間に
静けさの風が吹く
心が少しずつ
冷たくなってく
すべての終わりが
この世界を包むように
悲しみが押し寄せる

時が流れこの瞬間が
未来につながることも
信じられず

つらいことも暗い過去も
何もかもが胸に刻まれて
わかってても何かたりない
Without you, without you, without you

黒い雨が晴れることも
苦い涙乾いてくことも
知ってるけど心にひとつ
Without you, without you, without you

何がリアルで
何が幻想か
境界線すら曖昧になって
それでも確かに
鼓動は魂に
Knock し続けている
止まることなく

つらいことも暗い過去も
何もかもが胸に刻まれて
わかってても何かたりない
Without you, without you, without you

黒い雨が晴れることも
苦い涙乾いてくことも
知ってるけど心にひとつ
Without you, without you, without you

誰かが語る
神話のように
二度と目を覚ますことは
ないだろうか

泣いていても悔やんでても
何も始まらないことくらい
わかってても涙が止まらないよ
Without you, without you

何をしててもどんな言葉も
今は慰めにならないから

黒い雨にうたれるまま
Without you, without you, without you

Overall Meaning

Exile's song "Black Rain" expresses feelings of loss, grief, and loneliness. The lyrics describe the singer's heart growing colder and a sense of loneliness that seems inescapable. The song describes the idea that time can heal wounds, but it can also be a reminder of loss, connecting the present to the future. The feelings that come with grief appear to have become permanent, with everything in the singer's chest engraved by sorrow. The idea of the black rain is the symbol of the singer's despair, a metaphor indicating that no matter how much time passes or even if the tears dry up, the pain remains.

The lyrics also acknowledge the transient nature of life, with the boundaries between reality and myth becoming hazy. However, the song suggests that the heart is still beating, still knocking incessantly. The lyrics describe an unexplainable beating, an unending knock beneath the surface of the singer's soul. The song speaks to a sense of longing, a desire to return to an earlier, different state of being before the loss occurred. Overall, the lyrics reveal a complicated picture of loss, grief, and the complexities of trying to move forward in life after a loss.
