Imitation Rain
Sixtones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said "i will be the sky and you will be the sun to shine"
Fake dreams 壊れてゆく ガラスの薔薇のように ah
Imitation rain
時には激しく 心に降り注ぐ
Shall we play this game
目を閉じて 翼を広げて close your eyes
(La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, you will be loved)
飛び立つのさ 土砂降りの雨の中 we'll fly
Imitation rain
時には激しく 心に降り注ぐ
Shall we play this game
紅に染まるまで 雨に打たれて
Dancing in the rain 'till love comes to life
What's the meaning of life
What's the point of getting it right
'Cause everything is fake
Everybody blames
To keep the faith
Just say, everything breaks
Price of fame, what's to blame
Cuts my mind like a razor blade
Breaking down, I'm breaking down
Piece of mind is shutting down
Should I play this endless game
Dancing in the rain 夢を求めて
Keep dancing in the rain 'till love comes to life
Shall we play this game
紅に染まるまで 雨に打たれて
戻れない 時代を振り返る
流れる時間を止めて
My friend いつかはたどり着くよ
夢の世界に
Imitation rain
時には激しく 心に降り注ぐ
Shall we play this game
紅に染まるまで 雨に打たれて
The lyrics of Sixtones' "Imitation Rain" deal with the idea of imitating life, almost like acting in a play. The opening line "You said 'I will be the sky and you will be the sun to shine'" presents a relationship dynamic in which one member is responsible for illuminating the other's life. However, the lyrics describe how these aspirations and dreams often turn into "fake dreams" that "break apart like a glass rose." The lyrics suggest that life itself sometimes seems like an imitation, a mere facsimile of what it could be. Despite this, the band continues to play their "endless game," searching for meaning and hoping to find genuine love.
The overarching theme of the song seems to be the search for authenticity in a world of imitation. The rain in the song is a constant metaphor for emotion, representing both the almost-real but ultimately fake dreams and the pain that comes with dwelling in falsehood. The lyrics suggest that despite the pain of living in an imitation world, there may still be love to be found if one keeps searching, keeps dancing in the rain.
Overall, "Imitation Rain" is a poetic exploration of the often-futile search for authenticity and meaning in our lives, and asks the question of whether it is worth it to keep searching through the pain and heartbreak we might face.
