Call Your Name

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
雨の日に友達から打ち明け話をされた人
飼ってたネコを死なせた人
命の終わりを知ってる人
君は僕なんだ
僕は君なんだ
海を見ていたら突然に強気になって叫んだ人
運が悪いとぼやく人
何かが違うと悩む人
君は僕なんだ
僕は君なんだ
かわいい人を守りたい 弱い自分にさわりたい
今まで一度もしたことのない さよならの言い方
口からこぼれ落ちたうた
からだの内側で光る原石
君は僕なんだ
僕は君なんだ
これからのこと考えながら
いつのまにか寝てしまったとき
壊れないと思ってたものが
あっけなくこわれちゃったとき
わざと悪いことをしたいとき
夕焼けが胸にはいった時
君は僕なんだ
僕は君なんだ
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
The lyrics of "Call Your Name" by Maaya Sakamoto express the uniqueness of every individual's experiences and emotions, while also highlighting the interconnectedness of humanity. The opening lines describe a person who suddenly runs out into the blue sky out of happiness, and another who confides in a friend on a rainy day. The following lines talk about different types of people who have experienced loss, those who feel unlucky or uncertain, and those who want to protect someone or feel touched by a sunset. Through all these varied experiences, the lyrics suggest that "you are me, and I am you," emphasizing that despite our differences, we are all human and share common emotions and experiences.
The chorus further emphasizes the connection between people, with the repeated line "kimi wa boku nanda, boku wa kimi nanda," meaning "you are me, and I am you." The lyrics suggest that there is something within each person that makes them special, like a glowing gem inside the body. The song also touches on the fragility of life and the unexpectedness of change, as things that were once thought to be unbreakable can suddenly shatter.
