In The Morning
Miho Nakayama (中山美穂) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

窓に 朝焼けが 翼 広げては
燃え上がる(燃え上がる)
やわらかな テラス
ライト 消し忘れ 走る タクシーを
見下ろして(見下ろして)
街に 目をふせる
今は うつろいで Oh baby
No return 一人 眠れないなら
Fantasy 二人 生きてゆけない
星が消えても

白い 絹の島 そっと 流されて
横たわる(横たわる)
あなたを 見ている
いつか また逢おう Oh baby
No return 時が 戻らないのは
Fantasy 甘い 思い出のせい
すこし寒いわ

Oh baby No return
一人 眠れないなら




Fantasy 二人 生きてゆけない
すこし寒いわ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Miho Nakayama's "In The Morning" describe a serene morning scene, where the sunrise is spreading its wings on the window and the soft terrace is being set aflame with its gentle light. The singer in the song is feeling a sense of disconnection and transience, looking down at the rushing taxi and turning their attention to the city. They are feeling lost and unable to return to a happier time, and realize that fantasy alone is not enough to sustain them, they long for connection and companionship in the harshness of reality. The lyrics oscillate between the present moment and the past, with a reference to a white silk island where the singer sees their beloved in the distance, indicating that the song is perhaps about a past relationship or a dream of a perfect future.


One can interpret the lyrics to reflect on the human desire for warmth, connection and meaning in life. The singer is searching for a way to reconcile their past with their present moment, and yearns for the company of another person to share their existence with. The gentle imagery of the sunrise and the soft terrace contrast with the harshness of reality, creating a sense of longing and melancholy in the lyrics.
