liar
Nakamori Akina 中森明菜 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
こんな切なさを
夜更けのせいだと 思ってた
一つつく 嘘で又 一つ嘘をつく
勝手な人など ゆるせない
Ah 霧のように 行方も残さず
貴方が消えてた
ただ泣けばいいと 思う女と
次の朝は 一人目覚める
愛は 悪い 夢ね
退屈な画面から 誰か 叫んでる
見知らぬ 顔した Actress
窓の隅 塗り替えた
ビルが 光るけど
錆てく 心は 変わらない
Ah 自分よりも 大事な誰かが
居るなら 教えて
もう貴方だけに 縛られないわ
蒼ざめた 孤独選んでも
次の朝は 一人目覚める
それが 自由なのね
ただ泣けばいいと 思う女と
貴方には 見られたくないわ
次の朝は 一人目覚める
愛は 悪い 夢ね
The lyrics to Nakamori Akina's song Liar express the emotions of a woman who has been hurt by a man's lies and deception. She begins by talking about the moonlight of the Platina and how it makes her feel melancholic. She believed that her sadness was due to the late hour of the night but now realizes that it was because of the lies she was being told. She is hurt by the constant lies and deception, and she cannot forgive someone who is so selfish. She compares the situation to a fog that has left without any trace. She realizes that she does not want to be seen crying by the man who has hurt her, and she wills herself to wake up alone the next day, accepting that love is a bad dream.
The song goes on to describe how the woman is bored with life and hears someone screaming from the dull screen. She sees an unknown actress with an unfamiliar face and paints over the corner of the window. She sees the building light up but knows that her heart is still rusty, still hurt because of the lies she was told. She accepts that if someone more important than herself exists in the life of the man who has hurt her, she should be told. She feels that she is not tied to him anymore and chooses to embrace loneliness instead of being tied to someone who has hurt her so much. She wills herself to wake up alone again the next day, accepting that love is nothing but a nightmare.
