May'n Lyrics

凍えた眼差しも 守ってあげるから
願いは緋の螺旋に 舞い降りてく
ちっぽけなモノ 映さない空
独り走れば 怖くなかった
ここで明日を裏切れば
もう何処にも行かれない
ただ求めて 光を
信じてるものを 強く引き寄せる
凍えた眼差しも 守ってあげるから
両手に握った 想いは"輝き"
終わらない調べが
真実(ホント)に届くまで
願いは緋の螺旋に 舞い降りてく
真夜中(よる)に目にする鏡の様な
自分自身も知らぬ孤独に
気付きそう 空っぽの腕
ねぇ アナタが近すぎる
降る雨に 掻き消される
この声は 儚くて
叶わないものに 近付いて行きたい
震えそうな肩を 守ってくれるなら
両手を広げて 痛みを見つめて
癒せない傷跡 胸に残されても
アタシという微熱の 弾を込めて
両手に握った 想いは"輝き"
終わらない調べが 真実に届くまで
叶わないものに 近付いて行きたい
震えそうな肩を 守ってくれるなら
両手を広げて 痛みを見つめて
癒せない傷跡 胸に残されても
アタシという微熱で 撃ち抜いてく
"Scarlet Ballet" is a song by May'n from her album "If You..." released in 2011. The song is about the singer struggling to overcome their fears and doubts in themselves and the world around them. The verse "Believing in something strongly attracts it, I'll protect even the frozen look in your eyes" highlights the importance of self-belief and being there for those who need it. The chorus emphasizes the need to hold onto one's precious memories and aspirations, even if they seem out of reach, and to let them lead down a path towards the truth.
The song expresses a strong emotional intensity and features May'n's operatic vocals, which convey a sense of urgency and determination. The lyrics also invoke imagery of a winding red spiral staircase leading towards something unknown, symbolizing the journey towards self-discovery and truth. In the second verse, the singer confronts their own sense of loneliness and vulnerability, but finds comfort in the presence of someone close, who can shield them from the pain and keep them going.
Overall, "Scarlet Ballet" is a deeply introspective and empowering song about the human condition and the strength we all have within us to face our fears and push forward towards our dreams.
