bottle
orange pekoe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
流れ消えてしまうまで
もう少しこのまま
君のことを忘れずにいてもいい？
気づいたら ここに来ていた
避けてた場所
見るもの全部がまだ語ってる
君との日々
できないよ できないよ
砂浜に置いた あの日のbottleが
流れ 消えてしまうまで
もう少しこのまま
君のことを忘れずにいてもいい？
半透明のbottle、幻影閉じ込めて、
伸ばす掌も、風の無いジオラマヘ。
だって 嫌いになんて なれないよ
なれないよ
砂浜に置いた あの日のbottleが
流れ 消えてしまうまで
もう少しこのまま
君のことを忘れずにいさせて
These lyrics are from the song "Bottle" by Orange Pekoe. The song reflects on a past relationship and the fleeting nature of memories. The singer sings about a bottle that was placed on the sandy beach on a certain day and is now drifting away, slowly disappearing. The singer wonders if it would be okay to continue to remember the person they were with, even just a little longer.
The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and longing. The singer reminisces about the days spent with their loved one and how everything they see around them still tells stories of those times. However, they acknowledge that these memories cannot simply become "memories" and be left in the past. The bottle becomes a symbol of their relationship floating away, and the singer expresses their unwillingness to become indifferent or to forget about the person they were with.
Overall, these lyrics capture the bittersweet feelings of holding on to memories and struggling to let go. It portrays the desire to keep the essence of someone in their heart, even as time passes and things change.
