Let Me Be
MIREI Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

どうして 声かけてくるの? なんで私なの
グラスも会話も こんなに並んでるのに

「休みはどうやって 過ごすの?」
「映画? 俺も 大好きだよ」
簡単なはずの questions 答え見つからないの

こっち向いて まだ来ないで
期待してないわけじゃないけど
まだわからない けど言われたい
あなたから「可愛い」って

Wanna get to know ya
But I don't wanna show ya
あなたの気持ちだけが見えない
高鳴る heartbeat
Baby won't you let me know
欲しいかも「可愛い」って

ふいに 何も言わないで 隣くるから
リップも直せなくなるし 前髪も

「彼氏はいないの? どれくらいなの?」
「どんな人がタイプなの?」
これ以上意識しちゃったら ダメだよ

こっち向いて まだ来ないで
全部見透かされてしまいそう
まだわからない けど言われたい
あなたから「可愛い」って

Wanna get to know ya
But I don't wanna show ya
あなたの気持ちだけが見えない
高鳴る heartbeat
Baby won't you let me know
聞きたいの「かわいい」って

「もうそろそろ時間だね」
「この後どうする? 帰るの?」
ここでサヨナラしたらもう会えないの?

こっち向いて まだ来ないで
早まる想い 抑えきれない
ホントはもう 言ってしまいたい
あなたとまた会いたいって

Wanna get to know ya
But I don't wanna show ya
あなたの気持ちだけが見えない
高鳴る heartbeat




Baby won't you let me know
聞きたいの「可愛い」って

Overall Meaning

MIREI's song Let Me Be explores the hesitant feelings of a girl who is drawn to a guy but is unsure if her feelings are reciprocated. The opening lines question the guy's intentions and why he is approaching her when there are other people and things around them. The girl is trying to figure out how to answer his simple questions about what she likes to do on her days off, and what types of movies she likes. She's hoping he'll say something cute, like calling her adorable or using some other term of endearment, but she's not sure if that would actually happen.


The girl becomes even more nervous when the guy moves closer to her, and she's unable to concentrate on fixing her lipstick or hair. He then asks her more personal questions, like if she's in a relationship or what type of guy she likes. The closer he gets, the more unsure she becomes about his real intentions, and she starts to wonder if she's being too obvious about her interest in him.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the girl's feelings of uncertainty and longing to know how the guy really feels about her. She wants to get to know him better, but she's also scared to show her true feelings in case they're not reciprocated. The song ends with the girl still hoping that she can see him again and get a chance to tell him how she really feels.

Ah
Yeah
I'm so fu**in' done
Since you act like the one for me
Talk to me like that
You must think I've gone crazy

I've been tryin' to fit in this box that you own
But I'm not just a cute thing to hold
And all this bad behaviour got me on my knees
Say please, oh please

(Babe)
Just let me be
Just let me be
All the love you give is fabricated
I can see
Just let me be
Just let me be
All the love you give ain't workin'
It's just make-believe

Don't you know how to treat somebody?
Or don't you know, don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know how to receive my lovin', babe?
Just let me be
Just let me be
All the love you give ain't workin'
It's just make-believe
It's just make-believe, yeah

Wake up from your dreams
But you got big ideals for me
Better turn around (turn around)
'Cause all of the fake flexin' ain't me

Now you're thinkin' I'll do anything just for you
But you know I have my right to choose (my right to choose)
And all this bad behaviour got me on my knees
Say please, just please

Just let me be
Just let me be
All the love you give is fabricated
I can see
Just let me be
Just let me be
All the love you give ain't workin'
It's just make-believe

Don't you know how to treat somebody?
Or don't you know, don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know how to receive my lovin', babe?
Just let me be
Just let me be
All the love you give ain't workin'
It's just make-believe

Oh, it's just make-believin'
You don't know how to treat somebody
Oh yeah, just make-believe, yeah

How much views this video got just goes to show how dull the taste of people in this day and age has become. This song is simply too sophisticated, emotional and dynamic for our generation :( Hope Mirei-san to be able to grow internationally as well, love from Germany!

You are seriously so underrated, this deserves hundreds of millions of views.
Your Japanese songs are absolutely amazing. You're English songs are just as amazing.
It's hard enough to make good songs in 1 language, let alone 2. But you can pull it off.
You're my favorite artist, and by a lot!

Me encanta tu música ✨💖saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷💪❤️
