マーブルの月
dorlis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

落書きだらけのガードレールに
懐かしくて思い出すキスの味
去年とは違う隣の笑顔と
初めてのふりではしゃぐ
悪戯に微笑んだマーブルの月
歩幅合わせ歩いたサテンの海
昔の恋内緒にしておいてね
Syabida 銀の波が

星が泳ぐ海二人の宝箱に変わる
Syabida 君の愛は
夜を越える虹のアーチ
眠くもない目こすり甘えるふり
まぶたの向こう君の顔近付く
キスまでの星の砂時計はもう
スピードあげていくだけ
君の声は笑顔をさそう呪文
同じ夢を見れる魔法のキス
マーブルの月マシュマロの
雲に消えてく
Syabida 銀の波が
映し出した
君のしぐさ真似してみたくなる
Syabida 君の愛は
夜を越える虹のアーチ

Syabida 銀の波が
星が泳ぐ海二人の宝箱に変わる
Syabida 銀の波が
映し出した
君のしぐさ真似してみたくなる

Syabida 君の愛は
夜を越える虹のアーチ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song マーブルの月 by Dorlis vividly capture the nostalgia of a past love. The singer seems to be reminiscing about a kiss shared with a former lover when they were overseas, walking along a satin sea with the moon smiling enigmatically above them. The maverick moon, shrouded in mystery, almost as if it is mischievously smiling at their memories, adds to the magic of the moment.

The song moves to describe the singer's desire to be with their lover again, as they relive their memories. They long for the unspoken love, and the magic they felt around the sea that night. Sleepless, they try to snuggle, but their tiredness makes them act a little childish in their own opinion. They seem to be unable to take their eyes off their lover, and they feel almost delirious when they see their face. It’s almost as if the kiss they shared that night is cemented in time, with only the moon remembering the thrill they felt. Their love seems timeless, and the singer is convinced that it will cross the arc of the rainbow.

In conclusion, the song captures the sentiments of a past love that is eternally preserved in the memories of the singers. The song talks about the magic of the love they shared, as well as the conflicts that keep them apart, almost like a dream that they are eager to relive.
