Key of love
SE7EN Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

ふいに安らぎ求めて
ドアの前立ちすくんでいた
開けてはいけぬ扉と
知ってるのに I miss you
ぼやけている二人の距離
きっと忘れてゆく街の景色君の声
分かり合えたあの日の夜空も
そっと鍵を掛けて

心閉ざすフリをして
君と夢で会えるだけでいい

そんな日々に慣れすぎて
感覚も鈍ってきてるよ
傷つけすぎた心に何ができるのかな
霞んだまま流れる時間
きっと離れてゆく君の心遠くまで
分かっている二人の結末
そっと鍵を置いて
心閉ざすしかなくて
君の幸せ願っているよ

きっと忘れてゆく街の景色君の声
分かり合えたあの日の夜空も
そっと鍵を掛けて
心閉ざすフリをして
君と夢で会えるだけでいい
きっと離れてゆく君の心遠くまで
分かっている二人の結末
そっと鍵を置いて

心閉ざすしかなくて
君の幸せ願っているよ

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Key of love" by Se7en. The song talks about the struggle of letting go of a past love and the pain of watching someone you still care for slowly drift away. The lyrics poetically express the emotions of longing, regret, and acceptance.

The first verse describes the singer standing in front of a closed door, knowing that they shouldn't open it because they miss the person behind it. The distance between them feels blurred and the memories of the day they connected and the night sky they shared together are fading away. They gently lock away their heart, pretending to be closed off, but the only solace they find is in dreaming about meeting the person in their dreams.

The second verse reflects the singer's numbness and the realization that they have become too accustomed to the pain and distance. They wonder if there is anything they can do to heal their wounded heart. As time goes by, the connection with the person becomes hazier, and the singer understands the inevitable ending between them. They gently place a key, symbolizing closure, and can only wish for the other person's happiness.

Overall, the lyrics convey a bittersweet sense of resignation and acceptance, acknowledging that sometimes the best thing to do is to let go and wish the other person well.
