Sleep My Dear Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello! my Dear ありふれた瞳
交差する君の影が
Hello! my Hate 着飾る微笑み
窓の外投げ捨てた
時の砂は今も流れ
森を彷徨い続けている
形の無い愛を求め
今、君の場所まで

羽ばたく鳥の様に fly away
愛を奏であう七色のMelody
乱れゆく心に降り注ぐ
君を映しだすガラスの破片
拾い集めてもう壊れぬように

涙より輝く明日を
心の奥夢見ている
形の無い愛を求め
今、君の場所まで
羽ばたく鳥の様に fly away
愛を奏であう七色のMelody
乱れゆく心に降り注ぐ
君を映しだすガラスの破片
拾い集めてもう壊れぬように
愛を交しあう七色のMemory
崩れゆく心に溶けてゆく

君が描きだすガラスの涙
掬い集めて so 流れぬように

Overall Meaning

The Japanese lyrics of the song "Dear & Hate" by Sleep My Dear convey the emotions of someone who is torn between affection and resentment towards another person. The lyrics start with a greeting to the person addressed as "Dear" and "Hate", which suggests the mixed feelings the singer has for them. The singer describes the ordinary-looking eyes of the person and how their shadow intersects with theirs. The word "shadow" suggests that the person being addressed has some influence on the singer's life, even if it's indirect. The singer then greets the person addressed as "Hate", describing their smile, which they decorate or put on. The singer reveals the intensity of their emotions by saying that they threw the smile outside the window.

The next lines acknowledge the passage of time, describing how the sand of time continues to flow and how the singer keeps wandering in the forest, searching for an intangible form of love. The use of the word "intangible" suggests that the love the singer seeks is elusive or impossible to obtain. However, they're determined to reach the person they address as "Dear" and "Hate". The singer compares themselves to a bird and says they'll fly away to the person's location. The use of the word "fly away" gives the sense of freedom and adventure.
