Lacroix Despheres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nanimo kotoba wa iranai togireta yume no tsuzuki wo
Ugoki hajimeta toki no nagare wo tometakute
Mou modoranai kimi no kotoba ga setsuna sugite
Yoru ni ii noni wo kometa...
Tooi hi no kiseki wo kimi wa mada mo moeteru
Kawari hajimeta kimi no kotoba ga kigenakute
Mou ga kitsuzuketa boku no kokoro wa toki no naka ni
To wa no chikai wo kometa...
Ima yagate no yasashisa no azaka no nukumori wo tsumete kono te de
Anata no kurushimi wo wasurerarenai kana chiisa no yoru no kagatare kiete
Ugoki hajimeta toki no nagare wo tometakute
Mou modoranai kimi no kokoro ga itoshii sugite
Ima yagate no yasashisa no azaka no nukumori wo tsumete kono te de
Anata no kurushimi wo wasurerarenai kana chiisa no yoru no kagatare kiete
The lyrics of Lacroix Despherès's song Iris depict a series of complex and poignant emotions that revolve around themes such as loss, yearning, and the passage of time. The opening lines describe the image of a person swaying in the rain, a sight that leaves a profound impact on the singer, who feels that no words are necessary to understand the depth of his feelings. The second half of the stanza hints at a dream that has been interrupted and left unfinished, possibly symbolizing a love that was never fulfilled.

Tsumetai sora e tsuzuku amayui hikari ni tsutsumareta
