Veil
Shayne Orok Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
宙に舞った言葉じゃ あなたを救えないのだろう
届かないままの景色と 温まることない痛みと
肩を寄せ合って歩いていた 遠い所へ行けるように
あなたの言う希望だとか 夢に見た理想ならば
どんなに冷たくたって愛してみせるよ
笑えない日々を辿ったって 変わらない今を呪ったって
宙に舞った言葉じゃ あなたを救えないのだろう
不甲斐ない声で叫んだって 熱を持つ夜に変わっていく
この手が離れても また歩いて行けるように
分かち合うことない言葉が ふと気付く度に増えていた
今と向き合って変わっていく その姿を見ていてほしい
あなたの言う未来は ただ この手に収まらなくて
どんなに繕ったって その笑みの奥を歌がってしまうだろう
終わらない日々の向こうだって 救えないくらいの憂だって
この指がもがくほど 遠く滲んでしまうのだろう
触れない思いの色なんて 知りたくはないと思っていた
あなたが居なくても夢見ていたいのに
象ったような不幸があなたを襲うなら
この手の平で触れていたいな
繕って吐いた言葉が誰かを呪うなら 口をつぐんでさ
笑えない日々を辿ったって 変わらない今を呪ったって
宙に舞った言葉じゃ あなたを救えないのだろう
不甲斐ない声で叫んだって 熱を持つ夜に変わっていく
この手が離れても また歩いて行けるように
さよならは言わずに 何処かでまた会えるように
The lyrics of Shayne Orok's song "Veil" speak about the struggles of life and the desire to overcome them with the help of another person. The singer has experienced many difficult days but has realized that cursing the unchanging present won't help anything. The words that are said with good intention won't necessarily save the person. The sound of those words won't be enough to make a change.
The singer finds comfort in walking along with a person they can share their pain with. They want to go far away and escape to a place where they can feel warm and safe. They believe that love is what will make everything worthwhile, even if the world is cold and loveless. Even if they have a weak voice, when they shout out for someone they love, their voice can fill the night with a passionate heat, giving them hope that one day, they can stand on their own.
As the days go by, they see that the times they can't find the words to share are becoming more frequent. They want to change for the better and hope that their friends and loved ones will notice the change in them. They know that the future isn't in their hands and that even if they try to hide their feelings and put on a happy face, they won't be able to disguise their true emotions. And no matter how hard they try to hold on to the past, the sadness of the present will always remain. They want to grasp onto the things they can't touch and want to keep the memories of the people they love alive in their dreams.
