Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
一緒に帰った黄色の道
時を止めたかった
夏が終わってしまう合図が...
涼しい風と共に
全部連れて行った
あなたの前では
気にしてばかりで
いつの間にか
素直になるのを忘れてしまった
切りすぎた前髪
右手で押さえて少し背を向けた
嫌われたくないから
うつむくあたしを
からかったあなた
今はそれもあたしの夢の中だけ
寂しい時も
逢いたい時も
いつも言えずにいた
自分にため息付く
あの日のさよなら言い出した
あたしの腕を掴んだ時
あなたに向かってゆけたらと
今更下唇噛んだ
恥ずかしい顔で格好悪いｷｽをした
平気なフリして震える足
心のシャッター押して
忘れない様に
胸の端っこに刻んだの
逢えない訳じゃないけれど
今は逢いにゆけない
もう少し自分を見つけたら
電車に乗って橋を越えて...
切りすぎた前髪
右手で押さえて
少し背を向けた
嫌われたくないから
うつむくあたしを
からかったあなた
今も変わらずに
元気でいますか？
あなたとあたしの
目の奥に生きる二人が
同じ笑顔であります様に...
The song "Shutter" by Aiko talks about a summer romance that had to come to an end. The lyrics describe a particular day when the two lovers met, walked along a yellow path, and wished to stop time. However, summer ended, and they had to part ways. The singer misses her lover and reminisces about the times they spent together. She also expresses how she regrets not being able to be more honest with her feelings towards him when they were together. She constantly thought about insignificant details such as the heel on her worn-out shoes and forgot to be true to herself, which led to regret.
The singer recalls the day when they had to say goodbye to each other, and before parting ways, she felt like she could finally express her feelings honestly. She wished she had been able to confess her love for him before. The song describes how she had a shameful kiss with him and pretended to be okay when, in reality, she was trembling with happiness. She tries to freeze the moment in her memory and keep it forever by pressing the shutter button of her heart.
Overall, "Shutter" talks about the longing for a lost love and the regret of not being truthful to yourself and others when the opportunity arose. It is a bittersweet reminder of how our fleeting moments with people we cherish are worth treasuring, as they leave a mark on our hearts forever.
