PRINCESS PRINCESS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

眠れぬ夜が光りだす頃好きだった寝顔に最後のキス
あなたのためにずっと今まで
私なにもしてあげられなかったね
2人すごした7つの季節が光はなって消えてゆく
遠い夢追いかけてるあなたの
背中を今はただ抱いていたい

Tesrdrops for your dreams あなたが夢に疲れたとき

So long, remember me いちばんそばにいたかった
おしえてくれた勇気を my love あきらめないで

笑いころげた日曜のブールヴァード
私小走りのラバーソール
人混みの中いつか流され
2人つないでいた指がほどけた
かなえたかった6月の指輪あなたにいえないまま
2人ひざかかえる時間の中で瞳さえも無口になったね

Tesrdrops for your dreams
あなたが夢つかんだとき
So long, remember me
私のこと思いだして
きっと同じ涙を my love 流しているわ

Tesrdrops for your dreams
あなたが夢つかんだとき
So long, remember me
私のこと思いだして
きっと同じ涙を my love 流しているわ

Tesrdrops for your dreams
あなたが夢につかれても
So long, remember me
あきらめないでいつまでも
Tesrdrops for your dreams
あなたの夢がかなう日も

So long, remember me
遠くでみつめてるわ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Princess Princess's song ソーロング、ドリーマー revolves around a love that was once cherished but had to come to an end. The song reflects on the moments two people shared together, the happy times they spent in each other's company, and the pain that comes with saying goodbye. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been unable to sleep as she reflects on the past and thinks about her love. She remembers the things she wished she could do for her love but couldn't, and finally gives her last kiss to her love's sleeping face. There is a sense of finality as the singer realizes that the light of the seven seasons they spent together is fading into darkness.

The song captures the pain of not being able to express one's true feelings and the frustration of letting opportunities slip away. The singer recalls how she could not confess her love, cloaking herself in silence, and leaving her love to chase after distant dreams alone. She wishes she could hold her love and be there for her during her journeys. She expresses her courage by asking her love not to give up and to remember her even when they have gone their separate ways. The song is a heartbreaking tribute to a love that could not survive but remains a vivid memory.
