Remember Me
Yuka Funakoshi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
誰かの卑猥な誘いに振り向く街角
あなたの愛をなくし 夜の果て
もう何も恐くなかった
踊り続ける闇にまぎれ
見知らぬキスを交わすけど
背中をおりてく指を 振りほどいた
Remember me
あふれだす思い出 まぶしくて
悲しくて動けないの
Remember me
私があなたのすべてを忘れられるまで
あんなにも あなたを恨んだ
私を忘れないで
とれたルージュをひきなおせば
どんな私に変われるの
もうすぐ もうすぐ長い夜が明ける
Remember me
私があなたのすべてを忘れられるまで
あんなにも あなたを愛した
私を忘れないで
The song "Remember Me" by Yuka Funakoshi is a deeply emotional piece which can be interpreted in different ways. At first glance, it may seem like a story of a woman who is reminiscing about a past relationship that she cannot forget. She recalls a time when she lost her love and felt fearless, dancing in darkness and exchanging unfamiliar kisses. However, the memories of the past haunt her, and she cannot move on. She questions why she cannot forget everything about her past love, and the memories that overflow from her heart are too bright and too sad for her to bear. Throughout the song, she pleads with her former love not to forget her, despite the anger and resentment that she felt towards him in the past. In the final moments of the song, she questions who she can become if she were to put her makeup back on and begins to hope for a new beginning as the long night slowly turns into morning.
On a deeper level, this song may reflect the human condition of longing for love and connection, but being unable to move on from the pain of the past. The city corners with their distorted temptations could symbolize the harsh reality that sometimes we need to face to appreciate the beauty of love. The darkness in which she dances could represent the confusion and uncertainty that comes with love, and the unfamiliar kiss may represent the way that love can change our lives.
