Cobra
Yoko Maeno Lyrics

The lyrics of Yoko Maeno's song Cobra describe a feeling of loneliness and heartbreak, with the singer questioning their surroundings at midnight in a town shrouded in fog. The silhouette of someone moves, but it's a vague and uncertain presence that only adds to the singer's sense of isolation. They recall memories of someone who has left them, reflected in the repetition of the lines "Cobra leaving me blue / Cobra missing you true / Cobra only few memories after you." The singer acknowledges the difficulty of coping with the loss of this person, but also a sense of acceptance that comes from watching a story unfold and recognizing the inevitability of pain and love alike.

Throughout the lyrics, there is a sense of internal struggle that the singer is going through as they deal with the aftermath of a lost love. This is most prominent in the line "Haato ni gizamareta anohi ha," which suggests that they were wounded by something that occurred on a particular day. Ultimately, though, the song has a bittersweet quality to it - even as the singer mourns what they've lost, they recognize that it's just one stop along their path through life, with "Peace and Love" always eventually coming back around.
