moonlight
Mori Daisuke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
誰もいない道が続く
肌にしみこんだざわめきも
月明かりに溶けていく
さっきまであんなにも
笑い声上げていた君
今は小さな呼吸がそっと
左耳に届くだけ同じような場面
影のできたその寝顔に
思わず引き込まれていく
月の光迷い込んで
刹那の恋とわかっているけど
朝になれば忘れるから
だからほんの少しだけこのまま
友達でいたいから
気づかれたくないんだけど
ちょっと後ろめたい気持ちで
余計ぎこちなくなるよ
君の町に近づく空が変わっていく
僕はギアを入れるふりで
ゆっくりと手を握った
月の光惑わされて
はかない恋とわかっているけど
朝になれば忘れるから
だけどあと一秒だけこのまま
月の光迷い込んで
刹那の恋とわかっているけど
朝になれば忘れるから
だからあと一秒だけこのまま
The lyrics of Mori Daisuke's song "Moonlight" express a bittersweet, fleeting love that flourishes under the spell of the moonlight. The song builds an atmosphere of quietude and stillness, as if the world around the couple disappeared and left them floating in a blissful moment of romantic tension. The first verse sets the scene of a quiet night, where the singer and their love interest are walking on a path that seems never-ending. The rustle of their clothes and skin mixes with the moonlight, immersing them in a peaceful yet intense environment. The next lines describe how the singer observes the small changes in their love interest's behavior, from their lively laugh to the softness of their breathing. It's clear that they have been in similar situations before, yet they are still mesmerized by their companion's charm. The chorus reinforces the idea of a fleeting love, as the singer acknowledges that they are aware of the short-lived nature of their feelings but can't help enjoying the company of their friend-turned-crush.
In the next verse, the singer confesses to feeling guilty and awkward about their emotions. They fear being found out and offending their friend, who might not reciprocate their feelings. Yet, as they get closer to their friend's town, the singer can't resist the urge to hold their hand, pretending to shift gears in the process. The final chorus repeats the idea of a moment of bliss hanging by a thread, destined to vanish with the arrival of daylight.
Overall, "Moonlight" portrays a delicate, intimate moment between two friends, who might or might not take their relationship to another level. The singer is admiring and cherishing the present, knowing that it won't last, and balancing the thrill of affection with the fear of rejection.
