Sad Girl
The SALOVERS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

サッドガールは飽きやすくて僕の事なんか
ほんの少しの時間で忘れちゃうだろう
僕らはちっぽけでひとりでは何も
出来なくてただ泣くだけだった

ささやかな事で傷ついた僕らは
あの日の空を忘れられないんだ
いつかはゲルニカのような美しさ

あなたにも伝わりますように

旅に出ようかあなたのいない場所へ
忘れたい事ばら撒いて
いつかまた思い出さないように
空に向かって叫んでみた
冷たいようで優しくて
まるであなたと似ていました

本当じゃなくても偽物でも良いんだ
あなたの小さな優しさがあったら
涙なんかいらないんだ

届いてるかなこの気持ち
1人しか愛せないから
サッドガールが忘れられないよ
空に向かって叫んでみた
凛として輝いて
少しあなたを思い出した

こんな事もう言えないや
君からはもう言ってくれないの?

本当に忘れちゃうのかな
僕たちの白い日々
いつか僕も忘れちゃうのかな
空に向かって泣いてみた

涙に溶けたあの笑顔
いつか僕も忘れちゃうのかな

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The SALOVERS' song "Sad Girl" depict a story of two individuals who feel small and helpless in the world. The singer understands that the titular "Sad Girl" is fickle and will likely forget about him quickly. They were both hurt by small things before and cannot forget the sky on that day. Despite their smallness, they hope to achieve a beauty similar to that of Guernica, the famous painting by Picasso. The singer suggests that they take a trip together to a place without the Sad Girl to forget about their troubles and scream their worries to the sky. They note that the sky is both cold and gentle, reminiscent of the Sad Girl. The singer states that they do not need tears if they have even a small bit of kindness.

The lyrics show a sense of loneliness and desperation in both individuals that is magnified by the ability to scream into the sky. They seem to be looking for any kind of hope or positivity, even if it is only a facsimile of kindness. The song's use of Guernica adds another layer of meaning to the lyrics, which could indicate that despite the ugliness in the world, beauty is possible.

Overall, the song portrays a sense of hope despite the sad circumstances of the individuals. They acknowledge their smallness and powerlessness in the world but still hope for something beautiful.
