Truth
TWO-MIX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quest for all truth!
瞳に秘めた 夢だけは
誰にも 奪えはしないから
鮮やかに今 真実を抱きしめて!
君が笑顔で隠す 冷めた心の傷痕
ガラスの破片 きつく握り締めてる
大人になんてなれない
ただひたむきな気持ちだけを信じて
どんな悲しみも痛みも
たった一人 分け合いたい
人込みの中でも
Quest for love, quest for dream
Quest for all truth!
抑えられない 情熱が
目指した未来を 引き寄せる
"答え" はいつも "自分自身"だから!
Quest for love, quest for dream
Quest for all truth!
瞳に秘めた 夢だけは
誰にも 奪えはしないから
鮮やかに今 真実を抱きしめて!
膝を抱えて過ごす
夜の静けさの中で
背中合わせに そっと寄り添い合えば
触れた肩のぬくもり
流れた君の涙は
夜明け前に生まれ変わる 強さに!
たとえ離れても二人は
時間を止めて 呼び合えるよ
そこに愛があれば
Quest for love, quest for dream
Quest for all truth!
包み込むような 口づけで
閉ざした扉を 解き放つ
奇跡を願うより 早く!
Quest for love, quest for dream
Quest for all truth!
またたく星の 一瞬の
輝に満たない 青春を
ときめくままに駆け抜けて 焼き付けて!
希望 儚くて
そして 孤独感 やるせなくて
それでも この街角
生きていきたい君と!
Quest for love, quest for dream
Quest for all truth!
抑えられない情熱が
目指した未来を 引き寄せる
"答え" はいつも "自分自身"だから!
Quest for love, quest for dream
Quest for all truth!
瞳に秘めた 夢だけは
誰にも 奪えはしないから
鮮やかに今 真実を抱きしめて!
The lyrics of TWO-MIX's song "Truth" convey a message of perseverance and self-discovery in the search for love, dreams, and truth. The song starts by expressing the desire to uncover all truths, to chase after dreams and love. It emphasizes that the dreams hidden within one's eyes cannot be taken away by anyone else. The lyrics encourage embracing the current reality with vibrant passion and holding onto the truth.
The second verse describes a wounded heart covered by a smiling face, clutching tightly onto the pieces of a broken glass. Despite the lies one tells oneself, the lyrics acknowledge that not everyone can truly become an adult, and it is crucial to believe in the unwavering and sincere feelings. The song highlights the yearning to share any pain or sadness with someone, even in the midst of a crowded place.
The chorus repeats the quest for love, dream, and truth, emphasizing that the passion one cannot contain attracts the future they aspire to. It reminds listeners that the ultimate answer lies within oneself and the dreams hidden within their eyes cannot be stolen by anyone.
