PAPER MOON
Personz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

気まぐれに 振り廻されてた
長すぎた季節が 消えてく
月明かり 二人を狂わせ
水溜まりに 夜が泣いている
It's A Lonly Paper Moon
にじむ涙が 幻に流されて
Please Don't Cry
無邪気な あの日は
もう 二度と戻らないけれど
Close Your Eyes 瞳に 焼きつく
笑顔さえ 消せないままで
止まらない ぬくもり求めて
甘すぎた予感に 崩れる
猫の瞳のような 月がしぼみ
吹く風に飛ばされ 泣いている
It's A Lonly Paper Moon
形さえなく 幻に流されて
Please Don't Cry
無邪気な あの日は
もう 二度と戻らないけれど
Close Your Eyes 瞳に 焼きつく
笑顔さえ 消せないままで
It's A Lonly Paper Moon
にじむ涙が 幻に流されて
Please Don't Cry
無邪気な あの日は
もう 二度と戻らないけれど
Close Your Eyes 瞳に焼きつく
哀しみが あふれて止まらない
Please Don't Cry
無邪気な あの日は
もう二度と戻らないけれど




Close Your Eyes 瞳に焼きつく
笑顔さえ 消せないままで

Overall Meaning

The opening line of "Paper Moon," "Kimagure ni furimawasareteita" translates to "I was tossed around whimsically." These lyrics establish a sense of chaos and instability, setting the stage for the rest of the song. The singer reflects on a past relationship that has ended, and laments the passing of a carefree, innocent time ("Mou nido to modoranai keredo," or "We can never go back to those innocent days again"). Despite the end of the relationship, the singer is unable to let go of the memories and the happy times they shared, particularly the moments they spent under the moonlight together ("Getsuakari futari wo kuruwaseru").


Throughout the song, the paper moon is used as a symbol for the fragility of their relationship and the false sense of security they once had. The lyrics suggest that their love was never quite real or lasting ("Nijimu namida ga maboroshi ni nagasarete"). In the end, the singer is consumed by their grief and unable to move on ("Kanashimi ga afurete tomaranai").


Overall, "Paper Moon" is a bittersweet ode to lost love, characterized by a sense of nostalgia, melancholy, and a longing for the past.
