Sleep My Dear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
周りの奴は気付かない 調子合わせて 生きてる
キミの吐き出す声が 何か足りない声が
制圧された日々が 忘れられない夜が BACKWARD
誰の答えも聞こえない 修正不能 記憶の破片
僕の叫びも届かない? 調子合わせて 生きてる
君に捧げる声が 声にならない声が
制圧された日々が 忘れられない夜が
BACKWARD 現実(ウソ)に流され 偽る笑顔
BACKWARD 無力な自分 さらけ出して
BACKWARD 灰になるまで 全てを尽くす?
BACKWARD 操られてる キミの無能な躰
The lyrics of Sleep My Dear's song Backward talks about feeling trapped in one's own memories and struggling to move on from them. The first verse highlights the singer's inability to break free from their own feelings and memories that they have started to forget. Meanwhile, those around them seem unaware of the internal struggles that the singer is going through, living their lives by conforming to societal expectations. The following verse addresses the feeling of being suffocated by the memories and the desire to voice this out but feeling as though nobody can hear their cries. The chorus talks about being stuck in the past and unable to move forward, being compelled to put on a facade of happiness despite feeling powerless and controlled.
The lyrics of the song contain a sense of nostalgia and despair that are emphasized through the melancholic music and vocals. It tackles the theme of mental health that is often overlooked and neglected in the society we live in. It is a plea to others to recognize and acknowledge the pain and struggles that a person may be experiencing internally, despite how they may appear on the outside. The repetition of the word "backwards" throughout the song highlights the feeling of being trapped in the past and one's inability to move forward.
