Sleep My Dear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
あなたに響く声が 道を照らしだす
僕が薄れている
今はもう消えるのか
声にならぬ声が 聞こえる...
負けそうな日々落ちて
夜が動きだす
心に生きる声が 何かを求めてる
今はもう消えるのか
声にならぬ声が 聞こえる...
夢の中であなたを掴まえるまでは
僕はここで止まれないよ
手にいれたあなたを守りきるまでは
Dear...to dears
夢の中であなたを掴まえるまでは
僕はここで止まれないよ
手にいれたあなたを守りきるまでは
僕はここで休めないよ
夢の中であなたを掴まえるまでは
僕はここで終われないよ
手にいれたあなたを 探していた
Dear...to dears
These lyrics depict a sense of internal turmoil and longing for someone. The opening line, "壊れそうな胸の中 何も掴めずに" (kowaresou na mune no naka nani mo tsukamezu ni) translates to "In my chest, on the verge of breaking, unable to grasp anything." This suggests that the singer is feeling overwhelmed and unable to find stability or security in their emotions or life.
The next line, "あなたに響く声が 道を照らしだす" (anata ni hibiku koe ga michi wo terashidasu), translates to "The voice that resonates with you illuminates the way." This can be interpreted as the singer finding solace or guidance through the voice of the person they're addressing, suggesting that this person brings light and clarity into their life.
The repetition of the lines "僕が薄れている 今はもう消えるのか" (boku ga usurete iru ima wa mou kieru no ka), meaning "Am I fading? Will I disappear now?" emphasizes the singer's fear of losing themselves or their connection with the person they long for. The following line, "声にならぬ声が 聞こえる..." (koe ni naranu koe ga kikoeru...), translates to "I hear a voice that cannot be voiced...," suggesting that despite feeling unheard or unable to express themselves fully, they still sense a presence or communication.
The chorus, "夢の中であなたを掴まえるまでは 僕はここで止まれないよ 手にいれたあなたを守りきるまでは Dear... to dears" (yume no naka de anata wo tsukamaeru made wa boku wa koko de tomaranai yo te ni ireta anata wo mamorikiru made wa Dear... to dears), translates to "Until I catch you in my dreams, I cannot stop here. Until I protect the one I obtained, dear...to dears." This emphasizes the singer's determination to hold onto the person they desire, suggesting that they won't rest until they have found and protected them.
