Darkness
SKE48 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If night were to fall, oh, upon the two of us
Everything would vanish, oh, like a shooting star
今の愛は1センチ先が見えなくて
手探りをして求め合った深い闇よ
何を知っていたのだろう?
狭い窓が
無限大と勘違いしていたよ
消えてしまおう
この悲しみの外へ
記憶は散らばるだけ
輝くことのない星
絶望がすべて飲み込んで行く
微(かす)かな光や音も…
僕の腕が抱きしめてた
ぬくもりさえも塗り潰されて
Dark…Dark…
どんな時もいかなる状況でもこのまま
報われない運命でも影でいいさ
君は僕の何を信じる?
何を犠牲にするつもりか?
鏡の中
その本音はどこに隠してあるの?
閉ざしたハート
もう幕は下りてる
未来は意味がないさ
時間はすでに止まった
新しい空が始まらないなら
空気の動きや匂いも…
僕の幻想でしかない
愛している
愛されている…
もしも奇跡がこの闇を裂いても
太陽なんて見えないだろう
ずっと どこまでも
永遠に君をただ想い続けて
僕は深い闇に息を潜めたい
消えてしまおう
この悲しみの外へ
記憶は散らばるだけ
輝くことのない星
絶望がすべて飲み込んで行く
微(かす)かな光や音も…
僕の腕が抱きしめてた
ぬくもりさえも塗り潰されて
誰も知らない銀河系の涯(はて)まで
答えのない命は輪廻する

Line by Line Meaning
If night were to fall, oh, upon the two of us
If we were to encounter hardship, whether emotional or physical
Everything would vanish, oh, like a shooting star
Our world would crumble and fade away like a bright, but brief, shooting star
Love is darkness…
Love can be a dark and mysterious emotion
The love we share now is blind
Our feelings are so intense, that we can not see what lies ahead
We grope in the darkness, longing for each other
In spite of our blindness, we search for each other
Do you know what I was gazing at?
Did I truly know your authentic self or did I only see what I wanted to see?
What did I truly understand?
What reality was behind our story?
The small window made me believe in infinity
The limitations I had made me believe there were no boundaries.
Disappear from this sadness and move on to retrieve
Take a rest and cope with the pain, knowing that it is not the end.
Memories scatter like a non-bright star
The memories we have are like a dull and hopeless star
Despair takes everything it can
Sadness consumes and takes everything in its grasp
Even the slightest sound or light…
Even the smallest amount of hope is consumed by despair
With my arms holding onto yours
I will hold on to you in the absence of light
Even warmth disappears, and it's just darkness… darkness…
In the end, hope fades and the darkness takes over
However, no matter the circumstances, I'll continue in the shadows
I'll remain in the shadows and accept whatever fate brings
What do you trust in me?
What do you believe in me?
What do you plan on sacrificing?
What will you give up for us?
Where do you hide your truth in the mirror?
What is the true nature of your being?
The door to your heart is already closed
Your emotions have already dulled and you have given up hope
The future has no meaning anymore
The vision of a brighter future is gone
Time has already come to a stop
Progress has been halted and we are stuck in the present
If there's no new beginning in the sky ahead
If we do not experience a new awakening or a new start
Even the movement of air and the scent…
Even the faintest hope is merely an illusion
I love you, and you love me…
Our love is still there, but it is fading away
If a miracle were to break through this darkness
If hope were to return and the future were to become brighter
We can't see the sun
We are blinded by our fears and inability to move forward
I'll continue to think of you, forevermore
I'll keep you within my thoughts for all eternity
I want to hide in the deep darkness
I want to find a refuge in the dark
Disappear from this sadness and move on to retrieve
Take a break and heal, knowing that there will be a brighter future
Memories scatter like a non-bright star
Our memories are becoming clouded with despair
Despair takes everything it can
Sadness has a hold over everything, including hope itself
Even the slightest sound or light…
Even though there may be hope, it is still consumed by sadness and darkness
With my arms holding onto yours
We will remain with each other through the darkness
Even warmth disappears, and it's just darkness… darkness…
All hope is lost, and there is only sadness
No answer to life… just a cycle of continuity
There is no true answer to life, just an endless cycle
