Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
「いつかまた逢えるよ。」なんてね
もうずっと一生逢えないみたいで
あの頃はそう言って
笑ってた ふたりだったけど
恋愛観がちがっちゃったんだったね
夢なんてね
見ちゃうとズレる
「アリガトウ」と
「ゴメンネ」を言っちゃうような
憎まれたくない
ズルい最後だった
is it too late?
もうおそいかも知れないね
ひとりぼっちになったかも知れない
子供みたいだったよ
あれもこれも欲しがっちゃってた
いっぱいあったものさえ なくして
それでもいい顔して
ふたりはね はなれ始めた
いつだって もどれるみたいに
愛はこうして
こわれてゆく
安心がこわしてく
ふりむけば あなたがいるような
そんな気がいつも
してたのにヘンだね
is it too late?
どうしても もうおそいかな
あなたに もう逢えないのかな
The lyrics of Tohko's song "Is It Too Late?" explore the feelings of regret and longing for a past relationship that may no longer be salvageable. The song expresses the sentiment that the singer feels it may be too late to rekindle the lost love they once shared, and that they may now be forever separated. The opening lines implore that hearing the phrase "We'll meet again someday" is unbearable because it feels like they'll never actually meet again. It highlights the finality and hopelessness that often accompanies the ending of a relationship.
The lyrics also reflect on how the couple's ideas about love had changed over time, and how those differing perspectives ultimately led to their separation. The singer recognizes that their dreams may have contributed to the downfall of their relationship and that the moment they realized they loved each other, they were already saying "Thank you" and "I'm sorry." The song portrays the bitter-sweetness of a past relationship and the weight that the memories of love and loss can hold.
Overall, Tohko's "Is It Too Late?" is a poignant exploration of love and regret, highlighting the deep emotions that often come with the longing for a past relationship that may be irretrievable.
