Shiki no uta
MINMI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All our happiness will only be a dream
Oh darling won't you stay with me
Cause all these seasons aren't the same without you
In the darkest times you'd always light the way
So darling won't you stay
Flowers start to dance
The fields, endless
The summer's bringing on the sunshine
Dazzling moonlight
Just wishing you were here this autumn night
Should winter arrive
I'll still be waiting for a sign
I find myself going back in time when I close my eyes
I see us watching the skies
Reminiscing about what we had, us holding hands
While I sang you sweet lullabies
(Oh so sweet)
But now the summer is gone
And it's hard to move on
Cause now I'm on my own
All these old memories
Coming back to me
I'm thinking there's got to be a way
So I'm heading on out
(Off to find my way to you)
No, I won't mess around
(Swear that I will see this through)
The sun will rise and we'll bid farewell to forever
All our happiness will only be a dream
Oh darling won't you stay with me
Cause all these seasons aren't the same without you
In the darkest times you'd always light the way
So darling won't you stay
Flowers start to dance
Welcoming the spring time
The fields, endless
The summer's bringing on the sunshine
Dazzling moonlight
Just wishing you were here this autumn night
Should winter arrive
I'll still be waiting for a sign
It's seven on the dot
Here we are, living free
I wish tonight would go on for eternity
Will we ever meet again?
Tell me that it ain't the end
My tears start to flow
Oh baby, please don't go
But now it's all becoming clear to me
That if we're truly even meant to be
Our love won't fade
And I will break free from all this pain
Tearing down all the walls like a mighty hurricane
It's clear to me
That if we're truly even meant to be
Our love won't fade
And I will break free from all this pain
Tearing down all the walls like a mighty hurricane
Flowers start to dance
Welcoming the spring time
The fields, endless
The summer's bringing on the sunshine
Dazzling moonlight
Just wishing you were here this autumn night
Should winter arrive
I'll still be waiting for a sign
Baby, let's dance
All throughout the spring time
Fields are endless
The summer's bringing on the sunshine
Dazzling moonlight
Just wishing you were here this autumn night
Should winter arrive
I'll still be waiting for a sign
The lyrics to MINMI's song Shiki no uta are an emotional and heartfelt expression of gratitude and empathy towards a loved one who is going through a tough time, as the singer acknowledges the beauty of their tears and the struggles they face, while also reassuring them that they are not alone and that their tears will eventually become a source of strength and hope. The chorus of the song, which is punctuated by the repeated LaLaLa refrain, emphasizes the transformative power of tears and love, which can heal wounds and connect people across time and space.
The opening lines of the song express gratitude towards a loved one: "Thank you, oh / precious person." The second stanza then introduces the image of tears as a sign of both sadness and tenderness: "Sadness, tenderness / Your beautiful tears flowing down your cheeks / Shine without blemish." The third and fourth stanzas further elaborate on the idea of tears as a source of hope and resilience, as the singer describes their journey towards a new city and urges the loved one not to forget the beauty of the landscape or the melody that will erase their regrets: "Spread the map / to the end of the city we aimed for / Never forget this scenery / Our singing voices / LaLaLa LaLaLa LaLaLaLa." The fifth and sixth stanzas shift the focus to the loved one's letters and emotions, as the singer reads and cherishes them, while also acknowledging their own struggles and the fact that both of them have cried themselves to sleep at some point: "The more I open the letter / The more I feel the urge to meet the letters and emojis / Tracing back the thoughts you confided in me / Falling drop by drop / The fragments of my heart are treasures / If I think of you behind my closed eyelids / A flowing melody." The seventh and eighth stanzas emphasize the shared nature of pain and the transformative power of tears, as the singer reassures the loved one that they are not alone and that their tears give him strength: "Why is it that only I can't make it work / You and I cried on the same night / Sadness, tenderness / Your beautiful tears flowing down your cheeks / Shine without blemish / I think your tears make me stronger / Don't forget the day you cried / Your tears have become a song now / Saving someone / Love starts to flow around / LaLaLa LaLaLa LaLaLaLa."
