Mermaid
SHIKLAMEN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
二度と戻る事は出来ないのに 毎年思い出してしまうよ
（波の音に）
降りそそぐ暑さとセミの鳴き声 重なるたびに頭よぎる
（波の色に）
負けないくらい鮮やかな思い出は いつも僕の胸しめつける
白い砂浜を歩く 裸足で駆けて行く 夏の君が忘れられない
風に運ばれ 思いが届いたら良いな 渚で恋したマーメイド
ゆっくりと沈んでいく夕陽 まるで時が止まるように
水面が赤色に染まり 少しずつ浮かび上がる月
言葉では表す事が出来ないよ 君の事がただ好きなんだよ
夜の星空を眺めながら思うよ また君に会いたいと願うよ
もしも夢なら覚めてと 右頬をつねるよ
幸せすぎた時間を戻してほしいよ
白い砂浜を歩く 裸足で駆けて行く 夏の君が忘れられない
風に運ばれ 思いが届いたら良いな 渚で恋したマーメイド
いつか 幻のように消えてしまうけど 僕は君の事忘れない
波に運ばれ思いが届いたら良いな 渚で恋した君に
白い砂浜を歩く 裸足で駆けて行く 夏の君が忘れられない
風に運ばれ 思いが届いたら良いな 渚で恋したマーメイド
The lyrics to SHIKLAMEN's "Mermaid" talk about a summer memory that remains unforgettable to the singer. Although they know they can never go back to that time, they often remember that summer every year. The sound of the waves and the cicadas' chirping reminds them of the intense heat that summer brought. Even though they cannot go back, the vivid memories they have of the summer remain with them and weigh heavy on their chest.
Despite the passing of time, the singer still hopes to see the person they fell for that summer. They long to walk on the white sand beach together again and feel the wind that carried their love. The sunset's slow sinking feels like time has stopped, and the moon rises slowly as the water reddens. The singer's feelings for this person cannot be described in words, but they feel so strong that they cannot help but think about them again under the starry night sky.
The lyrics suggest that the chances of meeting this person again are slim, and this great love affair feels like a dream that must end soon. Nevertheless, the singer hopes that their feelings will be carried on the waves and reach their love even if they are separated by distance.
