世界の終わりは君とふたりで
Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
かすかな望みはもう壊れたって、壊れたって
ねえ、どしゃぶり雨が降って
ぐしゃぐしゃを流してくれたなら
泣き顔も残さずでいいのにね
抱きしめたい 夢の中の
ああ、忘れないで
悲しいくらいいたずらな恋をした
恋をして
失くした
世界の終わりは君とふたりで、君とふたりで
もうじき春の夜 そう最後だった、最後だった
ねえ、あなたの声聴こえて
とげとげを癒してくれたなら
絶望もからっぽになるかもね
覚えていて 残り香とか
ぬくもりとか 重ねてた愛のこと
ああ、変わらないよ
甘い言葉 嘘なんてなかったよ
抱きしめたい 夢の中の
深いとこで繋がった愛のこと
ああ、忘れないで
悲しいくらいいたずらな恋をした
恋をして
失くした
失くした
失くした
失くした
The lyrics to Ray's song "世界の終わりは君とふたりで" (The World Will End with Just You and Me) depict a forlorn and painful love that has been lost. The singer's heartbreak is conveyed through phrases like "our faint hopes have been shattered" and "it was a mischievous love to the point of sadness." The chorus "The world will end with just you and me" signifies that the love they shared seemed larger than life and all-consuming, but ultimately it came to an end nonetheless. In the second verse, the singer reminisces about connecting deeply with their lover and having all-encompassing love, yet the fleeting nature of love is portrayed through how it "slipped away."
Despite the melancholic tone of the song, there's a sense of slow-burning beauty and fortitude imbued in the lyrics. The rain, which usually represents gloominess, sadness or unease, is used as a means of comfort: "If only this drenching rain flows and ebbs away my inner turmoil along, leaving not a single trace of my tear-streaked face." The singer is yearning for a love so pure it can withstand the end of the world, but instead it exploded like a fragile bubble of emotion. Overall, this song speaks to the tender hearts of those who have experienced an immense and consuming love that, despite its being gone, remains immortalized in soul and spirit.

The end of the world is the end of the world for you and me, and you and me
Any hope of a glimmer of hope is now broken, broken.
Hey, it's pouring rain.
If you could flush out the mess.
It would have been nice not to have any tears left in your eyes.
I want to hold you in my dreams.
It's about love connected deep down.
Oh, don't forget.
I fell sadly in love with a naughty boy.
Love.
I lost it.
The end of the world is the end of the world for you and me, and you and me
It's almost a spring night. It was the last time. It was the last time.
Hey, I heard you.
If you've healed my thorns
Maybe the despair will be empty.
Remember, with the lingering scent.
The warmth, the layers of love.
Yeah, it's the same.
Sweet words. I never lied to you.
I want to hold you in my dreams.
It's about love connected deep down.
Oh, don't forget.
I fell sadly in love with a naughty boy.
Love.
I lost it.
I lost it.
I lost it.

At the end of the world I’m together with you, together with you.
Those faint hopes have already been destroyed, been destroyed…
Hey, heavy rain is pouring down.
If it could wash away the slushiness, then
It would be nice if not even your crying face remains.
I want to embrace you. Inside the deepest depths
Of my dreams is the love that connected us.
Ah, please don’t forget.
I was so foolishly in love that it pained me.
Being in love,
And losing it.
At the end of the world I’m together with you, together with you.
A night before Spring. Right; that was the end, that that was the end…
Hey, I can hear your voice.
If it could heal that stinging feeling, then
Maybe even the despair would be emptied.
Remember, that lingering scent,
That warmth; the remains of the love we built up.
Ah, things won’t change.
Those flattering words; they weren’t lies.
I want to embrace you. Inside the deepest depths
Of my dreams is the love that connected us.
Ah, please don’t forget.
I was so foolishly in love that it pained me.
Being in love…
I lost it.
I lost it.
I lost it.
I lost it.
