After You
Shy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

せまい部屋にモノだけがふえてく
思い出とも ともに住めなくなる
みおろした足の踏み場
これが今の自分
ずいぶん前に逃げた青い鳥
バルコニーから見える青い空
私にはどれも遠い
これが今の自分
君のいない部屋で一人泣いていても
とりかごの小さな
ブランコを揺らすだけ
優しい人に優しくされる事にさえ
ただ ただ 困るフリ
理解した筈、と先へ進んだ
現実はつめたいな、私には
甘えてるといわれても
「おいていって下さい...」
好きだった人 まだ好きな人
どちらでも同じ もういないなら
ひとりぼっちで 誰に
強がるのでしょう
あとどれくらいの悲しい日々を
この部屋で忘れずにいたのなら
いとしいあなたのもとへ
召されるのかな
秋も冬も君の声で泣いていたよ
覚えてる限りのおしゃべりを
うたって
彼の名前を呼ぶ私のおうむ
ただ ただ くりかえしで
君のいない部屋で一人泣いていても
秋も冬も君の声で泣いていたよ
ただ ただ くりかえしで




ただ ただ くりかえしで
ただ ただ くりかえしで

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Shy's song "After You" describe a familiar sense of claustrophobia familiar to anyone who's found themselves feeling trapped by their memories. The singer laments that their room is becoming filled with nothing but objects and the memories associated with them, making it impossible to live with them. They look down at their feet, considering their current situation, and feel far removed from the past, where they once escaped like a blue bird from a balcony. The singer is isolated in their current state, with no one to turn to except themselves.


As the song progresses to the chorus, the singer reveals that they've tried to put on a brave face despite feeling alone. In times of sadness, all they can do is swing on a small swing in their room like a bird in a cage. They've even struggled to accept kindness from others, pretending to be upset and avoiding the affection of others. But despite their attempts to move forward, reality is still cold, and they can't help but feel helpless and alone.


The second half of the song references the absence of someone who was once loved and is now missing. The singer seems unsure of how to handle their feelings of heartbreak and loneliness without that person present. They're desperate to remember every conversation they had with this loved one, and remember crying in the fall and winter with their voice still ringing in their ears. As the song draws to a close, the singer feels trapped in their grief, repeating the same lines and unable to find their way out.
