THE ALFEE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No more livin' without your love
Baby, baby 素敵なタイミング 恋は突然
デートは dead heat ハートは eight beat
ヒューズは飛びそう
君にしびれて 恋は始まる
ジグソー・パズルさ
なくなった last piece
Please don't leave me alone
No more livin' without your love
Baby, baby つらい話 恋のたそがれ
二人の season 涙の reason
もう一度 kiss me tight
君にしびれて 恋は始まる
ジグソー・パズルさ
つくりかけた 甘いロマンス
失った last scene
切ないこの気持ち 冷たくしないで
わかってほしいのさ 今夜だけは……
Baby, baby 特別 君 感じ過ぎたよ
涙の clown 悲しき train
さよなら lonely night
君にしびれて 恋は始まる
ジグソー・パズルさ
君はハートの おしゃれ泥棒
なくなった last piece
君はハートの おしゃれ泥棒
消えた last piece
Please don't leave me alone
No more livin' without your love
The lyrics to THE ALFEE's song "君にしびれて" speak about the overwhelming feeling of being in love and the fear of losing that love. The singer pleads for their partner not to leave them alone, emphasizing that they cannot imagine living without their love. The desperation and vulnerability in these initial lines set the tone for the rest of the song.
The use of metaphors in the lyrics further enhances the theme of love and longing. The mention of a "jigsaw puzzle" symbolizes the complex nature of relationships, with the missing "last piece" representing the void that would be left if the partner were to leave. The imagery of love as a sudden and intense feeling, like a "clown" or a "train" in the lyrics, adds a layer of emotion to the song.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges the pain and uncertainty that come with love. The lyrics describe a bittersweet moment of realization, where the singer pleads for their partner to understand their feelings and not turn away coldly. This emotional appeal adds depth to the narrative of the song and conveys a sense of urgency and longing.
The repetition of the chorus, with the singer repeating their plea not to be left alone and emphasizing the importance of their partner's love, serves to reinforce the central message of the song. The final lines of the song bring it full circle, with a final plea to not be left alone and a declaration that life without their love would be unbearable. The lyrics of "君にしびれて" are a heartfelt expression of love, longing, and the fear of losing a cherished relationship.
