1984
Junko Yagami Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How long can we stay apart?
You may get it maybe never
But it's coming from the heart.
Your life is full of indecision
You can't make up your mind.
We must get it in position
And move it on down the line.
I been on that road too long of a time
Yes the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of the love that I left behind.
Make me up a bed of roses
And hang them down from the vine
Of all my loves you've been the closest
That's ever been on my mind.
Please don't talk about tomorrow
I'm really not one to care
This world is filled with too much sorrow
That nobody's heart should bear.
'Cause the road is long, it's a long hard climb
I been on that road too long of a time
Yes the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of the love that I left behind.
Please, please give me indication
Stop and talk to me
Like a river that is flowing
My love will never cease to be.
You will always be my honey
No one could take your part
Our love can't be bought with money
'Cause it's coming from the heart.
'Cause the road is long, it's a long hard climb
I been on that road too long of a time
Yes the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of the love that I left behind.

We have got to come together
We need to unite and work together as a team
How long can we stay apart?
We cannot keep our distance forever
You may get it maybe never
You may understand it or never comprehend it at all
But it's coming from the heart.
It's genuine and heartfelt
Your life is full of indecision
You are unsure of what to do with your life
You can't make up your mind.
You struggle with making decisions
We must get it in position
We have to get organized and prepared
And move it on down the line.
And make progress towards our goals
'Cause the road is long, it's a long hard climb
The journey to our destination is difficult and arduous
I been on that road too long of a time
I have been traveling for too long
Yes the road is long, and it winds and winds
The path is lengthy and twisting
When I think of the love that I left behind.
When I remember the relationships I have lost
Make me up a bed of roses
Create a comfortable and luxurious environment for me
And hang them down from the vine
And decorate it with an abundance of beautiful flowers
Of all my loves you've been the closest
Out of all my relationships, you have been the most intimate
That's ever been on my mind.
That I have ever thought of
Please don't talk about tomorrow
Let's focus on the present and not worry about the future
I'm really not one to care
I do not have much concern
This world is filled with too much sorrow
There is too much pain and sorrow in the world
That nobody's heart should bear.
That is too heavy a burden for anyone to carry alone
Please, please give me indication
Please give me a sign or clue
Stop and talk to me
Take a break and communicate with me
Like a river that is flowing
Like a steady and continuous flow
My love will never cease to be.
My love for you will endure forever
You will always be my honey
You will always be my sweet and special person
No one could take your part
No one can replace or remove you from my life
Our love can't be bought with money
Our love is genuine and cannot be bought or sold
'Cause it's coming from the heart.
Because it is true and from the depths of our emotions

Doi ikoku tabishite kita no

"you better stand up now!!"
tsuki ni orita rekishi mo ima wa

One of the highlights of this great album. Here's an English translation of the song that I've done a while ago.
1984
I've traveled through far away foreign lands
with all these memories as my companions
In the news delivered each morning
is the cityscape I remember from a time long past
1984
The world has changed
Even to countries far far away
1984
The golden wings will carry us
Even the history of the moon landings
is now nothing more than a scene on a movie screen
1984
The world goes round
and heads toward the year 2000
1984
The shining gondola
all the people go on board
1984
The Future is swept away into the long river that is the Past
1984
Everyone, Every single person offers up a prayer for peace
Set our course to the seas of tomorrow
Let's sail away!
The sparkling waves may blind us
but we sail away strong!
1984
The world goes round
and heads toward the year 2000
1984
The shining gondola
all the people go on board
1984
The Future is swept away into the long river that is the Past
1984
Everyone, Every single person offers up a prayer for peace
1984
The world goes round
and heads toward the year 2000
1984
The shining gondola
all the people go on board

Shantasonic 1984 is a book written by George Orwell. He also wrote Animal Farm, not sure how you haven't heard of these books whilst in school :P Really good books.
@blucel2856
I think Shantasonic was referring to the fact Orwell never wrote any manga, so the original comment makes little sense.
@pavese1379
This song is so good that George Orwell wrote a book about it
@eugiblisscast
🤣That's what I thought too
