Shy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

真っ白な吐息 窓 くもらせて
あなたを描きたい 描きたい そこにあるように
揺られてく電車から見えるのは
ガラスを跳ねる 光 町は冬になる

閉店の店 ショーウィンドウ
ながめては似合いそうなものを見つけて
改札に向かう人たち 手をふり
また明日 人の波 いったりきたり

いつになく この町に ふる雪は
みんなに優しい 優しい 想いをわけますように
走りだす この恋は あなたの頬に
暖かな色 そえますように

幸せといえるその瞬間に あなたを描きたい 描きたい なくさないように
心は思うよりもうつろうの 私は知らない 消えないものなどひとつも

冷静なんて もういいよ 冬が好きなあなたに恋してしまった
大切な人も 時間も この雪も とけるような とまるような ものがほしい

いつになく この町に ふる雪は
みんなに優しい 優しい 想いをわけますように
走りだす 最終で あなたの町に
急いでこの想い 伝えにいこう

白く白く ふる雪が
みんなに優しい 優しい 想いを届けたように




走りだす この恋は あなたの頬に
暖かな色 そえますように

Overall Meaning

The song 頬 (Hoho) by Shy talks about the singer's desire to capture the essence of their loved one, symbolized by the image of their face on a snowy day. The lyrics begin by describing the white breaths that fog up the window, as the singer longs to draw the person they love exactly as they are. The snow-covered city is visible from a swaying train, and the lights bouncing off the glass make it feel like winter.


The following lines paint a picture of the singer looking at the displays behind the shop window of a closed store, searching for something that would look good on their loved one. As people rush by them to get to the gates, everyone waves, wishing each other farewell until tomorrow. The snow that falls on this town is gentle and kind, and the singer wishes to share that warmth and love with everyone.


The song transitions to the singer wanting to capture the moment of happiness with their loved one, never wanting to lose the memory or feeling. They become envious of their partner's love for winter and wishes to have things, including the important person in their life or the falling snow, stay still or melt away. The singer ends the song with a desire to race to their loved one's town and share their feelings before it is too late.


Overall, Hoho is a song about love and the desire to capture a fleeting moment with someone important before it is gone forever.
