Regret
Rei Yasuda Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

帰りの電車に揺られながら
最後の一言がリフレインする
"ごめんね"と添えた
優しさが余計に悲しい
重ねた言葉も秘密さえも
今はもう何ひとつ
意味をなくして
出逢ったことまで

憎んでしまうなら
この記憶を消してよ
もう二度と思い出せないように
Why not?
君だけがすべてだったのに
この痛みは君にしか癒せないのに
どこにも届かない声を抱いたまま
今何を望めばいいの?
叶うなら時間を巻き戻したい...

灯りもつけずに横たわった
ソファに残ってた君の香り
渇いた孤独を絞り出すように
落ちる涙もう一度
広い背中にすがりつきたい
Miss you...
君なしで何処へ行けばいい?
君以外の愛なんて要らないのに
いつもの笑顔で
"嘘だよ"って言ってよ
たとえそれすら嘘だっていいから
抱き寄せて欲しい...
Why not?
君だけがすべてだったのに
この痛みは君にしか癒せないのに
どこにも届かない声を抱いたまま

今何を望めばいいの?
叶うなら時間を巻き戻したい...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rei Yasuda's song Regret describe the sadness and pain that comes after a breakup. The singer is riding the train home, and the last words spoken to their ex-lover keep repeating in their mind: "I'm sorry." The kindness expressed in those words only makes the situation more painful, and the weight of the loss becomes overwhelming. Even the memories and secrets they shared lose all their meaning, and the singer begins to hate the very fact that they ever met their ex at all. They long to forget everything and never remember again.

The second half of the song delves deeper into the feelings of loneliness that come with the end of a relationship. The singer is left with only the scent of their ex and their tears, and they yearn to be able to hug them again. They realize that nothing can replace their lost love and that they have no desire for anyone else. The song ends with the singer feeling lost and wondering what they should wish for now, and if they could, they would turn back time and relive their moments with their ex again.

帰りの電車に揺られながら
While riding the train home

最後の一言がリフレインする
Last words replaying in my head

"ごめんね"と添えた
Accompanied by the phrase "I'm sorry"

優しさが余計に悲しい
Kindness making me more sad

重ねた言葉も秘密さえも
Words and secrets piled up

今はもう何ひとつ
Now, nothing at all

意味をなくして
Devoid of meaning

出逢ったことまで
Even our meeting

憎んでしまうなら
If I end up hating you

この記憶を消してよ
Erase these memories

もう二度と思い出せないように
So I'll never remember them again
