Even If She Falls
blink-182 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And she was like a starry night
Like a Ferris wheel, full of blue-green eyes
And a heart of steel, always on her own
Almost never real

When the night will begin
The pain it won't end
Even if she falls in love
Back, you wanna turn back
Your heart will attack
Even if she falls in love

And she was like a blade of ice
Like a lonely road, clearest day alive
Always sharp and cold, always beautiful
I am such a fool

When the night will begin
The pain it won't end
Even if she falls in love
Back, you wanna turn back
Your heart will attack
Even if she falls in love

Try to look in her eyes
The light is just right
Even if she falls in love
And it isn't so bad
It's driving you mad
Even if she falls in love

When the night will begin
The pain it won't end
Even if she falls in love
Back, you wanna turn back
Your heart will attack
Even if she falls in love

Try to look in her eyes
The light is just right
Even if she falls in love
And it isn't so bad




It's driving you mad
Even if she falls in love

When the night will begin
The pain it won't end even if she falls in love
Fact you wanna turn back your heart will attack

Like a lonely road clears day of life
Always sharp and cold always beautiful
I am such a fool

Try to look in her eyes the light is just right
Even if she falls in love and it isn't so bad it's
Driving you mad even if she falls in love

Pond I

Even if she falls Lyrics 和訳

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
And she was like a starry night
彼女は何ていうか星いっぱいの夜空の様に美しいというか
Like a Ferris wheel, full of blue-green eyes
観覧車の様にゆったりとして見蕩れてしまう存在と言おうか、その青緑色の瞳に現を抜かしてしまう存在だったんだろ
And a heart of steel, always on her own
Almost never real
そんな彼女は鋼のように強い心を持っていて、いつだって自立出来るような人間で、
そんな彼女と共になんて無理だろうなって思ってるんだろ

[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
When the night will begin, the pain, it won't end
夜が始まろうとする時にも関わらず、その謎の痛みは消えやしないだろう
Even if she falls in love
たとえ彼女が君の事を想っているということが分かっていても
Back, you wanna turn back, your heart will attack
またあの関係に、君は戻れるのなら戻りたいよな、今にも心臓が破裂しそうじゃないか
Even if she falls in love
たとえ未だに彼女がまだ君の事を想っていたと分かっていてもな

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
And she was like a blade of ice
彼女は何ていうか氷の剣のような存在といおうか、
Like a lonely road, clearest day alive
そして孤独の人生を歩んでるけど、そこは晴々とした日々が生けてるんだ
Always sharp and cold, always beautiful
いつも鋭くて冷たい、だけど美しかった彼女よ
I am such a fool
俺はなんてバカな男なんだろう



[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
When the night will begin, the pain, it won't end
夜が始まろうとする時にも関わらず、この謎の痛みは消えそうにない
Even if she falls in love
たとえ彼女から君の事を想っているということが分かっていても
Back, you wanna turn back, your heart will attack
またあの関係に、君は戻れるのなら戻りたいよな、今にも心臓が破裂しそうじゃないか
Even if she falls in love
たとえ未だに彼女がまだ君の事を想っていたと分かっていてもな

Try to look in her eyes, the light is just right
頑張って彼女の瞳を見つめてみようか、そこに写る光が心地良いだろ

Even if she falls in love
たとえ彼女が君のことを思っていると分かっていたとしても

And it isn't so bad, it's driving you mad
Even if she falls in love...
そしてそんなに悪い気分じゃないんだろ、たとえ彼女が君の事を好きという事を知っていながら狂った気分になるのも

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]

When the night will begin, the pain, it won't end
夜が始まろうとする時にも関わらず、この謎の痛みは消えそうにない
Even if she falls in love
たとえ彼女から君の事を想っているということが分かっていても
Back, you wanna turn back, your heart will attack
またあの関係に、君は戻れるのなら戻りたいよな、今にも心臓が破裂しそうじゃないか
Even if she falls in love
たとえ未だに彼女がまだ君の事を想っていたと分かっていてもな

Try to look in her eyes, the light is just right
頑張って彼女の瞳を見つめてみようか、そこに写る光が心地良いだろ

Even if she falls in love
たとえ彼女が君のことを思っていると分かっていたとしても

And it isn't so bad, it's driving you mad
Even if she falls in love...
そしてそんなに悪い気分じゃないんだろ、たとえ彼女が君の事を好きという事を知っていながら狂った気分になるのも

(解説)
片想いしている女性が自分の事を好きであるという事を知っているにも関わらず、それでも何にも出来ない惨めな男の目線の訳し方をしました。普通自分が好きで相手も自分の事を好きって分かったのなら告白するだろって思うのかもしれんが、高二の頃に俺も経験したから分かる。純粋で初々しくちょっぴり女々しい男にはそれなりの悩みがあるんだよなぁ…

One of the most underrated Blink songs IMO, perfect mix of a classic riff, kinda ethereal lyrics and catchy as hell classic Blink hook/chorus

Marty Frontczak

This is an incredible song

Bubble Gum

As I've gotten older I genuinely think Neighborhoods and Self Titled are the best Blink albums. The older ones are good now and then, but I really appreciate the more "mature alternative rock" Blink so much. Also be careful what you wish for, I bet now people would kill for a second Neighborhoods 😂.

AB

Agreed

Denis Despot

Enema of the state is by far the best record

Andrew Bernier

Same

Ryan Slarks

Fucking give it to me

Quattro Bajeena

Dude ranch is the best but I love this album so much! One of the few who loved it

Criminally underrated song. Could have easily been a single for the album let alone a b-side!

ideamiles

Some of the best songs on that album weren't on it at the time of release--lol, I was slightly bitter when the "deluxe" version came out with this and the snake charmer song. I mean, I really liked "Wishing Well" and "Kaleidoscope," but if this and that other song had been there from the beginning, I know I would have absolutely loved the album, not just liked it. Oh Tom and your inability to meet deadlines! 🤣😂
