Forever Yours
HIDETAKE TAKAYAMA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I still remember the scene, when we met
Knew we'd get this way inevitably
The angel in her eyes became the devil in me
Yet I thought it would settle there but never would leave
I know I made her cry way too much
Lie after lie, to violate her trust
I don't know why she gave me love and
All the time in my mind I was trying to break it up

But love in the heart of the broken it
Sometimes comes out as the opposite emotion
Impossible to show you all of my regrets
So I just say thank you, hope tomorrow will be better
Forever, yours

You have changed my life, shown me new worlds
Gave me joy, in my heart from within you've made your star
So I dedicate my song to you, know these words
Come right out, of my soul, they're forever yours

I guess I'll take it as a lesson
Sometimes you just need a change in your direction
So stuck in your ways, you're regressing
Running out of places for the blame to be deflected
Learning how to give and receive love
Seeing what freedom really means,
Once you stop the talking like
Leaving lies behind, the moment that it had begun
Found love again, not to rub it in
Just feel like I owe you for the growth that I underwent
Looking for it now, let me say my thanks
Appreciate what I had, won't make the same mistakes

You have changed my life, shown me new worlds
Gave me joy, in my heart from within you've made your star

So I dedicate my song to you, know these words
Come right out, of my soul, they're forever yours

Overall Meaning

The song "Forever Yours" by HIDETAKE TAKAYAMA is a reflection on a past relationship that has caused both pain and growth. The lyrics describe the memory of meeting the person and the feeling of inevitability that they brought into the singer's life. However, as the relationship progressed, the angelic qualities seen in the person's eyes transformed into a darker influence on the singer. He acknowledges that he hurt her deeply and violated her trust through his own lies and inability to give her the love she deserved.

Despite this, the singer recognizes the power of love in the midst of the brokenness that both he and his former partner experienced. He notes that sometimes love can manifest itself as the opposite emotion, and that it can be impossible to fully express one's regrets for hurting someone. Nevertheless, he offers thanks for the growth that he experienced because of the relationship.

The song is ultimately a dedication to the person who changed the singer's life and showed him new worlds. He recognizes that this person was responsible for bringing joy to his heart and igniting a shining "star" within him. He hopes that the words of the song will convey the depth of his feelings and express his gratitude to the one who impacted his life so profoundly.
