UNDER THE TREE
Sim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where are you at?
Where have you been?
問いかけに答えはなく

Where are we headed?
What did you mean?
追いかけても 遅く 遠く
A bird, a butterfly and my red scarf
Don't make a mess of memories
Just let me heal your scars
The wall, the owl, and forgotten wharf
時が止まることもなく

We're getting older
Second, by second, by second

Why, oh, why
Why, oh, why
Don't you wanna stay with me?
Why, oh, why
Why, oh, why
Are you giving up on me?

I'll be waiting, waiting for you
Let me hold you under the tree
Under the tree-ee-ee
Ee-ee-ee




Ee-ee-ee-ee
I'll protect you!

Overall Meaning

In this song, Sim appears to be asking questions to someone who has disappeared or is distant. The questions "Where are you at?" and "Where have you been?" suggest that Sim is seeking answers or explanations that she has not received. However, the answer is not forthcoming and Sim is left to wonder about the whereabouts of this person. The second verse continues with more questions that don't appear to have easy or straightforward answers for the mysterious person who seems to have vanished from her life. She sings, "Where are we headed?" and "What did you mean?," both inquiries that could suggest deeper conflicts between the two.


The following lyrics express the mixed emotions Sim feels towards the disappeared person: "A bird, a butterfly and my red scarf / Don't make a mess of memories / Just let me heal your scars." The metaphor of the bird and butterfly, along with the red scarf, suggests a time of innocent happiness and freedom, but also of memories that may have been slightly marred or damaged. Nevertheless, Sim seems to be ready to take it upon herself to comfort and heal the person's scars, wanting to preserve and protect their relationship despite the difficulties. The final verse repeats the chorus, with Sim asking why the person must leave her and expressing her willingness to wait for them under the tree and protect them.


Overall, "Under the Tree" is a bittersweet song about a person who has gone away, possibly permanently. Sim's longing and confusion are palpable in the lyrics, but so is her determination to hold on to the person and heal their wounds.

Second, by second, by second

Why, oh, why? Why, oh, why?
Don't you wanna stay with me?
Why, oh, why? Why, oh, why?
Are you giving up on me?

I'll be waiting, waiting for you
Let me hold you under the tree
Under the tree-ee-ee, ee-ee-ee
Eе-ee-ee-ee
I'll protect you!

Why were you crying?
What arе you dying for?
Your dream, did it satisfy or terrify?
Annoying pain in my head
The things left unsaid
I'm sorry that we had been relying
On you too much to be free

Why, oh, why? Why, oh, why?
Don't you wanna stay with me?
Why, oh, why? Why, oh, why?
Are you giving up on me?

I'm here so we don't need to talk
I'm here so we don't need to talk
I'm here so we don't need to talk
I'm here to tell you there's no need to talk
Growl
You're free

This is already enough
We'll figure out the rest
Let me shoulder your sins together
With you!
People may not call it love
And we won't be blessed
But let me shoulder your sins together
For you!
If I lose it all

I'll be waiting, waiting for you
Let me hold you under the tree
Under the tree-ee-ee, ee-ee-ee
Ee-ee-ee-ee
I'll protect you!

[Verse 1]
Where are you at?
Where have you been?
Toikake ni kotae wa naku
Where are we headed?

Just let me heal your scars
The wall, the owl, and forgotten wharf
Toki ga tomaru koto mo naku
We're getting older
Second, by second, by second
