vanity
Pearson Dunn Strings Orchestra/Yuki Kajiura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lovers are in pain
They blame and pick on each other
You play melodies of love
Forgotten phrases
Tender and sweet
Come a little bit closer
(La la la la la la la)
The melody's fading.....
Now or never, love will go
I'll be there by your side
Share your fears in the silent redemption
Touch my lips, hold me tight
Live in vanity for a while
As winter melts in the sun
Boys will be out running and reaching for the light
Oh mother please find me in that place
Before the memories tear us into pieces
Clinging to affection, we somehow do learn to live
(La la la la la la la)
In endless motion
Never coming back, love will go
You'll be there by my side
You may never know my devotion
Feel my breath in the quiet night
Live in vanity for ever
Won't you feel my gentle emotion
Let us live in peace with conviction
If you're here please hold me
The song "Vanity" by the Pearson Dunn Strings Orchestra/Yuki Kajiura presents a poignant take on the experience of love and its complexities. The opening lines "Enter the scenery of love / Lovers are in pain / They blame and pick on each other" set the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting the difficulties that often come with romantic relationships. These issues are further explored with the lyrics "Forgotten phrases / Tender and sweet," which suggest that the passion that once existed between the two lovers has since faded away.
The chorus of the song urges the listener to make the most of the time they have with their loved one, as "now or never, love will go." Despite the inherent difficulties of love, the singer promises to be there for their partner, offering a source of comfort and support when they need it most. The lyrics "Touch my lips, hold me tight / Live in vanity for a while" evoke a moment of tenderness, as the two lovers come together to momentarily forget about their problems and simply enjoy each other's company.
As the song progresses, the impending threat of loss looms ever larger, with the lyrics "Before the memories tear us into pieces" serving as a reminder that nothing lasts forever. The final chorus of the song urges the listener to embrace their emotions and hold onto the moments of love and happiness that they share with their partner, promising that even if their love is fleeting, it is still worth cherishing.
