Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
あなたの横顔が浮かんで消えた
遠く遠く ああ せつない程に
目を閉じればいつか
想い出のスクリーン
愛しているのなら 愛していると
言葉にすればよかった
少し素直な私を
蒼く蒼く ああ 暮れる夕暮
哀しい気持ちして ふと立ち止まる
夢の夢の ああ 夢の中から
届いた手紙 今 想い出のスクリーン
愛しているのなら 愛していると
言葉にすれば よかった
少しやさしい私を
もう一度 Um 見つめて
愛しているのなら 愛していると
言葉にすればよかった
少し素直な私を
もう一度 Um 見つめて
The lyrics to Junko Yagami's song "想い出のスクリーン" (Screen of Memories) depict a sense of longing and regret for not being able to express one's feelings to a loved one. The first verse describes an intense flame, which causes the image of the loved one to appear and then disappear. The second verse describes a sunset and a feeling of sadness, prompting the singer to stop and reflect on their past. Both verses conclude with the singer wishing that they had been more honest about their feelings and asking the loved one to look at them again.
The theme of unrequited love and missed opportunities is a common one in Japanese pop music, and Yagami's lyrics capture that feeling of nostalgia and longing for what could have been. The screen of memories referred to in the title represents the painful but beautiful memories that one cannot forget.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the regret and sadness that come with unrequited love and missed opportunities. It speaks to the universal experience of yearning for something that is out of reach but remains forever etched into one's memory.
