Ruvie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Masshiro na wata no you na konayuki ga
Makkuro na nohara ni furidashita
Tetsu no tori mo buranko mo someage
Itsushika kimi mo mienakunaru

Tada ano koro no bokutachi wa
Konna sora miagete yorokonda
Te ni nigirishimeta chokoreeto wa
Taion ni toketeyuku

Ashi no osoi boku hayaku hayaku to sekashita
Umi wo nozomu oka no ue
Ima wa kimi ga zutto suki datta
Shoujo ga nemutteru

Bokura no risou ya kuusou wa
Kudaranai shisou ni korosareta
Madogarasu ketsuroshite hibiware
Tooku de yakeru tokeitou

Heikou kankaku wo ushinatte
Kokyuu no peesu wo miushinau
Oshiyoseru ashioto ni
Ashinami wo soroeru boku

Nee boku wa maboroshi wo miteiru no?
Nee kimi mo maboroshi wo miteiru no?

Ashi no yubisaki mo te no yubisaki mo
Itsushika kankaku wo ushinatte
Hikigane wo hiku koto ni sae boku wa
Tomadou koto wo wasureteyuku

Masshiro na wata no you na konayuki
Makkuro na nohara ni furitsumoru
Ano sora mo ano oka mo someage
Itsushika boku wo miushinau

Samuzora no shita de ima mimi wo saku
Juusei ga ichido dake narihibiku
Kimi wa ima sukoshi dake hora
Sukoshi dake waratteita

I lose sight of you in the night
And the packed snow
I lose sight of you in the night
And the packed snow




Nee, boku wa maboroshi wo miteiru no?
Nee, boku wa maboroshi wo miteiru no?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ruvie's song "Slow" are very poetic and contain a lot of imagery. The first few lines describe the contrast between the pure white snow falling on a dark plain, creating a beautiful yet eerie scene. The next few lines talk about various objects such as a steel bird and a swing, which have also been colored by the snow. The final line of the first stanza talks about the gradual disappearance of a loved one, slowly fading away like the objects in the snow.


The second stanza talks about the nostalgia for the past, when the singer and their beloved would look up at the sky and be happy. It talks about how something as simple as holding onto a warm chocolate candy can make one's body temperature rise. The third stanza then talks about the singer's anxiety and confusion, as they try to follow the footsteps of their loved one, but find that they themselves are lost. The final lines culminate in a repeated question, where the singer asks both themselves and their beloved if what they are seeing is just a mirage.


Overall, the song is a reflection on fleeting memories, the beauty of contrasting elements, and the anxiety that comes with trying to hold onto something that is disappearing. It is a very emotionally charged song that is open to interpretation and encourages introspection.
