Alone Again
Kiyotaka Sugiyama Lyrics

The lyrics to Kiyotaka Sugiyama & OMEGA TRIBE's song "Alone Again" depict a bittersweet tale of lost love and missed opportunities. The opening lines, "Nani mo iwanai de senaka wo awasete, Iroaseta omoide wo chigirinagara futari" (Without saying a word, our backs touching, tearing apart faded memories), convey a sense of detachment and separation between two individuals. The singer reflects on a past relationship that ended due to mere misunderstandings and regrets not realizing it sooner. The line "Wasure rarenu omoi" (Unforgettable feelings) reveals the lingering emotions and longing that the singer still holds onto.

The chorus expresses a sense of nostalgic what-ifs, longing for the moments when they could have locked eyes and prevented the tears from flowing. The lyrics "Moshi mo ano nagisa de mitsumeawanakereba, Konna namida nante kimi wa nagasanai de ita ne" (If only we hadn't looked away on that shore, You wouldn't have shed tears like these) suggest that the singer blames the missed connection on their mutual inability to communicate their true feelings.

Despite the sadness, the lyrics also express a sense of perpetual love and longing. The lines "Yuuhi ga shizundemo umikaze no naka de, Itsumademo dakishimeta yoseru nami no you ni" (Even as the sunset sinks into the sea breeze, I held on to you like the waves that kept coming) convey a feeling of eternal embrace, symbolizing the persistent love the singer feels for the other person.

In the end, the lyrics convey a sense of acceptance and resignation. The singer acknowledges the loss and the unchangeable past, saying "We lost those old days, but we get memories, I don't forget your profile, Alone Again." The repeated line "Moshi mo ano nagisa de, kimi to mata atte mo, Boku wa onaji you ni, kimi wo aishite shimau darou" (If we were to meet again on that shore, I would probably love you in the same way) reveals that, despite everything, if given another chance, the singer's love would remain unchanged.
