In My Arms
R.E.T. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

ねぇ 私 微笑んでるの?
ねぇ 私 何をしてるの?
真夜中 はじめましょう
secret change, in my room
そう 鏡 目前にしてるの
そう 顔は 見ないでいるの
あと 少し もう少しそのままで
緩やかなビート 刻んで
数えはじめるの count down
耳 塞いて スイッチ 入れて
息を止める
赤いダリアとロンドと
甘いカウントでさよなら
7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0.
あのレンズで 映してみようかな
「嫌い」よりも 好きだと思うの
あなたのことならね
ハミングして フィルム回して
私 覗く
ねぇ 私 微笑んでるの?
ねぇ 私 何をしてるの?




真夜中 おしまいよ
secret change, in my room

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from R.E.T.'s song "In My Arms" reflect a sense of mystery and secrecy surrounding the singer. The opening lines question whether the singer is smiling and what they are up to. This sets the tone for a clandestine encounter that is about to take place. The lyrics suggest that the rendezvous is happening at midnight, signaling a time when secrets are often kept and emotions run high.


The mention of a "secret change" happening in the singer's room indicates a transformation or a shift in the situation. The imagery of a mirror and not looking at one's own face suggests that the singer may be hiding something or avoiding confrontation with their own emotions. They want to remain in this state for just a little longer, while a gentle beat plays in the background, setting a calm and introspective mood.


The countdown that starts with the lyrics "count down, cover your ears, flip the switch, hold your breath" implies a sense of anticipation and excitement. The mention of a red dahlia and rondo, as well as a sweet goodbye, suggests that this encounter may have romantic undertones, and the countdown serves as a way to build up the tension before a passionate farewell. The numbers counting down create a sense of urgency, leading up to a climactic moment when everything will change.


The following lines mention using a lens to reflect upon the situation, indicating the desire to see things from a different perspective than before. The lyrics express that the singer feels a stronger affection towards the person in question compared to dislike. This suggests that this encounter is significant to them, and they are willing to take a risk and explore their feelings further. The act of humming and winding the film evokes a sense of nostalgia and preparation, as if capturing this moment through a camera lens.


Overall, these lyrics depict a secretive and emotionally charged midnight encounter, where the singer is exploring their emotions and contemplating a significant change. The themes of secrecy, transformation, and intense emotions create a mysterious and alluring atmosphere within the song.
