冬の夜
Oh Shu Lyrics

The lyrics to Oh Shu's song "冬の夜" (Winter Night) describe a dreary winter night where the singer is feeling the weight of love and memories. The opening line talks about how the voice of a past lover still lingers in the singer's ears, and how the falling snow makes them feel the heaviness of that love. The next lines hint towards a past conversation, where both parties grew tired of talking and laughing, and silence took over. This is depicted by the line "あとはだんまり　ひっそり閑と" (then silence, quiet and stillness) which is repeated twice in the song. The repetition of this phrase serves to emphasize the emptiness and loneliness that the singer feels.

The lyrics then switch to the singer reflecting on why they're thinking of their past lover during such a cold winter night. The memories of their laughter, habits, tears, and lies come flooding back. The song then shifts to a realization that both of them were exhausted from being together, but at the same time, everything felt connected and intertwined. The line "それは心　それは夢　疲れた二人　表と裏" (that's our hearts, that's our dream, two tired people, the front and back) suggests the complex emotions and dynamics of their relationship.

The song's final lines are a repetition of the earlier verse, indicating that the love between the two has grown cold in the falling snow. The somber, introspective tone of the song combined with the melancholic melody captures the feeling of remembrance and regret.
