yumewomiyou
Haru Nemuri Lyrics

The lyrics of Haru Nemuri's song "yumewomiyou" explore themes of loneliness, regret, and the longing for connection. The first verse begins with a sense of vulnerability and apology, as the singer expresses remorse for their weakness and cries while throwing a cutter knife. The line "kimi wo koroshite katachi mo naku kieta kagerou mitai ni" ("I killed you and disappeared without a trace, like a heat haze") suggests that they have caused harm to someone, leading to their own disappearance.

The next line speaks of indifference towards a melted ice cream, emphasizing the singer's apathy and lack of interest in the world around them. However, they are desperate to show off their hesitant scars, possibly using social media platforms (referenced by the mention of 140 characters) to seek attention and validation. This highlights the singer's desperate attempt to be seen and acknowledged, even as they feel weak and disconnected.

The second verse portrays the singer's numbness and emotional detachment, as they describe their dull heart becoming a blunt instrument to relentlessly attack the person they claim to care about ("kimi wo naguritaoshite, toumei na ketsueki ga shimidashita, asayake mitai ni" - "I struck you down, and transparent blood seeped out like a morning glow"). The line about not hearing the voice that cried out represents their lack of empathy towards the pain they have caused.

The lyrics then depict the singer observing their deteriorated world from a cold, deranged room, within the eternity of a summer holiday. These lines suggest a deep sense of isolation and disconnection, even in the midst of a natural disaster. The repetition of "daishinsai no yoru de sae boku wa kodoku wo shiranakatta" ("Even on the night of a major earthquake, I didn't know loneliness") indicates that their loneliness is a constant, existing outside of any external events or circumstances.

The chorus reflects on the impact of this loneliness, with the singer realizing the loneliness in the eyes of the person they cared about ("kimi no samishii hitomi no koto" - "the loneliness in your eyes that I understood around twilight"). This further emphasizes their regret for not recognizing the pain and isolation of someone close to them.

The following lines express a desire to break free from the confines of their current state through the imagery of leaving "Seventh Heaven" and turning a corner that the memories do not disappear. The singer proclaims that they will never forget their juvenile ego, their room, and the heaven they burdened onto the person they cared about. There is a strong determination to sing songs to ensure that no one like the person they care about will die, expressing a longing for connection and shared dreams.

The repetition of "zutto yumewomiyou" ("let's dream forever") emphasizes this yearning for shared dreams and serves as a plea to escape their individual loneliness. The final lines mention being wrapped in a blanket, believing there are wings on their back and being content with being alone together in a foolish world until heaven breaks. The lyrics conclude with a farewell to God, acknowledging the possibility of forgetting their own true name but expressing a desire for them to always remember the scent of the kinmokusei (fragrant olive).

Overall, the lyrics of "yumewomiyou" delve into the experiences of loneliness, regret, and the longing for connection. It portrays the singer's struggles of not recognizing the loneliness of those close to them, their desperation for attention and understanding, and their longing to share dreams and escape their individual isolation.
