Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
だからこんなにも綺麗なものを綺麗とも思えずに
君の目さえ見られずに
今更だけれど本当に君のことだけを
抱きしめて生きていけると思っていたんだよ
浮ついた僕の上で誰かが腰を振ってて
君への想いはきっと汚れてしまったんだろう
許してもらえないと分かってる
このキスが終わったら話そう
そうだ僕も同じ事されたっけ 君じゃなくて前の彼女に
体中の何かが逆流して目の前が真っ白になったんだ
泣きながら謝る彼女を僕は許せずに
それでも諦めきれずに 確か言ったんだよ
「君の間違いの上で誰かが腰を振ってて
ゆらゆらただぼんやりその風景を眺めてたあの時
君の魂はきっと汚れてしまったんだよ」
ああそうか 今目の前の君は
これからあんな気持ちになるのか
もう人の事言えないねって 誰かの声がする oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
僕の間違いの上で誰かが腰を振ってて
ゆらゆらただぼんやりその風景を眺めてたあの時
僕の魂はきっと汚れてしまったんだよ
許してもらえないと分かってる
このキスが終わったら話そう
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

The song "Uwatsuita Kimochi" by back number is about regret and longing for something that could have been. The lyrics suggest that the singer's heart died at a certain time in the past, most likely due to a romantic relationship. Because of this, the singer is unable to appreciate beauty or even look into the eyes of the person they love. The song moves between different perspectives, with the singer at times addressing themselves, a past lover, and even an imaginary third person. The singer reflects on the fact that their feelings for the person they loved have likely been tainted by their own mistakes and actions. They express regret for not being able to be with this person and are resigned to the possibility that things might never be the same again.
The song has a melancholic quality, with a slow and steady tempo underscored by a haunting piano melody. The use of repetition in the chorus creates a sense of desolation and loss, making it a poignant expression of heartbreak and the pain of missed opportunities. The lyrics reflect the universal feeling of regret that comes with choices made in the past and the longing we feel for those we have loved and lost.

浮ついた気持ち back number
Uwatsuita Kimochi (Flirtatious Faith)
1.
Probably, my heart died at the moment
That's why I can't see this beautiful thing as beautiful and even can't see your eyes
It's too late too say this, but I had really believed that I would live a life by embracing only you
On the body of unfaithful me, someone was shaking her hips
At the time I was blankly viewing the scenery, my heart for you got corrupted
I know you won't forgive me, but I will confess the fact to you after this kiss
2.
In the past, a guy did the same thing to me
The guy was the former girlfriend, not you
Something flew back through my whole body, and my sight was turned into blank white
She cried for apology, but I wouldn't forgive her
Still, I couldn’t organize my thoughts, and I said to her;
"On the wrongness of you, someone was shaking his hips
At the time you were blankly viewing the scenery, your seoul got tainted"
Oh, right in front of me, you will experience that feeling from now on…
I hear someone say that I'm no longer qualified to blame her
On the wrongness of me, someone was shaking her hips
At the time I was blankly viewing the scenery,
my seoul got tainted
I know you won't forgive me, but I will
confess the fact to you after this kiss
…………………………………………………
Supplemental description
The guy in this song got an inadequate relationship with someone, regardless of the presense of his girlfriend.
In fact, his previous girlfriend also did the same thing to him, so he's supposed to know the pain of being bedrayed.
Now he recognizes his wrongness with complicated circumstances, and he's about to apologize to her.
