Sweet Memories
Ikuta Lilas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

なつかしい痛みだわ
ずっと前に忘れていた
でもあなたを見たとき
時間だけ後戻りしたの

「幸福?」と聞かないで
嘘つくのは上手じゃない
友だちならいるけど
あんなには燃えあがれなくて

失った夢だけが
美しく見えるのは何故かしら
過ぎ去った優しさも今は
甘い記憶 sweet memories

Don't kiss me baby
We can never be
So don't add more pain
Please don't hurt me again

I have spent so many nights thinking of you
Longing for your touch
I have once loved you so much

あの頃は若過ぎて
悪戯に傷つけあった二人
色褪せた哀しみも今は
遠い記憶 sweet memories

失った夢だけが
美しく見えるのは何故かしら




過ぎ去った優しさも今は
甘い記憶 sweet memories

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ikuta Lilas's song "Sweet Memories" speak of the bittersweet feeling of nostalgia—the pain of the past that is long forgotten but suddenly resurfaces with all its intensity with just one look or memory. The singer talks about having forgotten about the pain of missing someone until they saw the person again, causing them to feel as though time had just reversed. The chorus of the song reflects the idea that the singer feels comforted by the memory of their lost love, even though they know that they can never have them again.


The second verse of the song goes on to reveal that the singer and the person they have been reminiscing about hurt each other in their youth. They describe the pain of the past as faded and distant, but the memory of the love they had at that time is still a sweet and beautiful memory. The singer acknowledges that they have moved on from those days, but the feelings they had for their lost love are still strong.


Overall, "Sweet Memories" is a song about the longing and pain of lost love, where the memories of the past serve both as a reminder of what was and what could have been. It is a melancholic song that explores the complexity of human emotions and the way that memories can shape our perception of the present.
