笑い声が
置き去りmy heart
二人だけ 遠いだけ
Baby shiny moon
夜明けは近い
燃える愛に触れる
あのyour bed
目を閉じたら
今もゆらめく
mmm...I love you honey,
say good night.
Baby shiny moon
天使が降りた
燃える愛に触れる
この空
明日じゃなくても また会いたいよ
最後に手を振って Oh...
オヤスミ
I love you honey,
say good night.
The song "Bed" by nirgilis tells the story of two lovers who are separated by distance. The main character is on a road at midnight, her heart left behind and she feels alone. However, the lyrics show that she has found comfort in the shining moon, as it brings her hope that dawn is near and she will be reunited with her love. The lyrics imply that the two have a passionate relationship and a burning love for each other.
As the song progresses, the singer longs to be in her lover's bed, as it represents the place where they are closest physically and emotionally. The phrase "燃える愛に触れる" (moeru ai ni fureru) can be translated to "touching passionate love." The singer is not just longing for physical touch but also emotional closeness. At the end of the song, the singer says goodbye to her lover, but expresses her desire to see him again soon.
Overall, the lyrics of "Bed" convey a sense of longing, despair and hope for the future. While distance can create feelings of loneliness and desperation, the hope for love and companionship makes it worthwhile.
