Nemurenai yoru ni wa kimi no maboroshi ga...
She said, "Loving you made me happy everyday"
Ano koro to onaji sa mukaji na kao de hanashikakenaide
Tsunagatteite mo yokan shiteta kara saisho kara tabun
Tooi kako no koto sa oshietekureta wakare no imi
Itsu ni nareba ito wo tachikiri kimi wo norikoeru?
Are you feeling fine?
She said, "Loving you made me happy everyday"
Nanigoto mo nai ka no you sekai wa mawaru boku wo nokoshite
Kagirinaku jiyuu... Tsukaenai kurai jikan wa tsukinai
Harewataru hibi ni tozashiteite mo jiyuu dakedo
Ude wo nobashi door wo hiraite wasurekaketa no ni...
Are you feeling fine?
Nemurenai yoru ni wa kimi no maboroshi ga...
She said, "Loving you made me happy everyday"
Ano koro to onaji sa mukaji na kao de hanashikakenaide
Binetsu karuku doko ka kimi wo...
Imagoro kitto ki ni mo tomezu ni kimi wa yume no naka
Are you feeling fine?
Muda na teikou wa yamete ashita e to mukaou
I said, "Loving you made me happy everyday"
Itsu no ma ni ka nemuri ni togirete kieta egao no mama de
The lyrics of L'Arc~En~Ciel's song, Feeling Fine, talk about the pain of a breakup but also the hope of moving on and finding happiness again. The first verse talks about the feeling of loneliness that one experiences during a sleepless night, missing the presence of the person they used to love. The next line is a memory of what the partner said before leaving - "Loving you made me happy everyday" - which highlights the gratitude and love the person had for their partner. The third line urges the partner not to speak with a sour expression and reminds them that even though they are apart, they are still connected. The last two lines of the verse reflect the time they spent together and what the partner taught the singer during their time together.
The chorus repeatedly asks the question, "Are you feeling fine?" which indicates the singer's concern for their former partner's well-being. The next two lines talk about the farewell that was exchanged on their long journey, and again the partner's words about how loving the singer made them happy. The world keeps spinning, and the singer feels lost, unable to use their new-found freedom or time they have on their hands. The next two lines talk about the irony of being trapped in a situation with endless freedom, and they are free to do anything they want, but they have no idea what to do. They eventually find comfort in those long, bright days, but still struggle to forget their memories of their love.
The final verse begins with a plea to stop the aimless resistance and face tomorrow. The singer then utters the same phrase as the old partner, "Loving you made me happy every day," as if to convince themselves they can find happiness again. The next two lines suggest that the former partner is somewhere, longing for the singer. The final phrase talks about resuming life's course with the same smile; they had when they first fell in love.
Line by Line Meaning
Are you feeling fine?
Asking if everything is okay with you
In the sleepless night, your illusion...
Remembering the phantom of the person even in a restless night
She said, "Loving you made me happy everyday"
She expressed that loving you brought joy and happiness to her life every day
Don't speak with a stubborn face like in those days
Don't talk face-to-face with the same stubborn expression as before
Feeling that we were connected, from the beginning maybe.
Even before we formed a bond or relation, maybe we had this feeling of connection
You taught me about the distant past and the meaning of separation
You educated me about the importance of the distant past and the significance of parting
When will we be able to cut the thread and cross over you?
When will we be able to overcome the bondage and move forward towards you?
Are you feeling fine?
Asking again if everything is okay with you
On the long road, instead of saying goodbye
Rather than bidding farewell on the extended path
She said, "Loving you made me happy everyday"
She expressed that loving you brought joy and happiness to her life every day
The world keeps on turning, leaving me behind
The world keeps revolving, leaving me in the past
Limitless freedom... can't waste any more time like this
I have the liberty to do anything I want, I can't afford to lose any more time
Even if we lock ourselves up on a sunny day, we are free but
Despite confining ourselves on a bright and cheerful day, we are still liberated, but
Stretching out my arm, I open the door but I still forget...
I extend my arm to open the door but still forget...
Are you feeling fine?
Checking once more if everything is okay with you
In the fever, gently somewhere close to you...
Feeling slightly feverish, somewhere close to you...
By now you're probably in a dream, unable to stop thinking about you
You're likely dreaming by now and can't help but think about you
Are you feeling fine?
Asking again if everything is okay with you
Stop the useless resistance and head towards tomorrow
Cease the pointless defiance and explore what lies ahead in the future
I said, "Loving you made me happy everyday"
I expressed that loving you brought joy and happiness to my life every day
Before I knew it, while sleeping, my smile vanished
Unintentionally, while sleeping, my smile faded away
