街の奇跡をあなたにあげたい
星か光る夜の向うから
見知らぬ場所であなたに会いたい
青く光る月の裏側で
Let's get away
不思議なちからで吸い込まれてく
白い Line を辿ってみれば
遥かな Cosmos の彼方へ

遠く自分をさがして
Sending to you
街の奇跡をあなたにあげたい
星が光る夜の向うから
見知らぬ場所であなたに会いたい
夜は二人を包んで流れてく

たとり着いたのは鏡の中で
裸になった自分を見てる
微かな永遠の調べは
やかて胸によみがえる
Sending to you
街の奇跡をあなたにあげたい
星が光る夜の向うから
見知らぬ場所であなたに会いたい
青く光る月の裏側で
Sending to you
愛の奇跡をあなたにあげたい
星が光る夜の向うから
見知らぬ場所であなたに会いたい

青く光る月の裏側で
Let's get away...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Original Love's "Let's Go To The Darkside Of The Moon" expresses the desire to escape the mundane and discover something new and exciting. The song starts with the desire to give the "miracles of the street" and to meet somebody on the opposite side of the night, where the moon shines blue. The chorus urges to go away together on an adventure where they are drawn in by a mysterious force.

The song's second verse is tinged with a sense of mysticism, where the singer finds themselves in front of a mirror, becoming naked and looking at themselves. The mention of a faint eternal melody that will soon resurface invokes feelings of nostalgia and reflection. The final chorus has the desire to give the miracles of love and longs to discover a new meeting place on the opposite side of the moon.

The lyrics convey moments of yearning, loneliness, and the need for adventure. The song's mystical elements add depth to its meaning, where the mirror imagery serves as a reminder to look within and discover oneself. The song invites the listener to imagine themselves on an adventure and urges them to discover their own miracles.
