Cry High Fly Meaning & Lyrics (Aiko)
aiko tells of smoothing wrinkles from a skirt, showing life’s struggles. She mentions tears reflecting a distant moon, painting a picture of sadness. The lyrics say happiness is scarce, and mistakes linger even as adults.
Hitotsu Hitotsu Yattsukete Kiete ShimaouLet’s take them down one by one and just disappear,
Awa Ga Yozora Ni Kasanatteas the bubbles pile up in the night sky.
Wasuremono Nakute Mo Nee Mata Ie Ni Oide YoEven if you haven’t forgotten anything, hey, please come over again,
Awai Joudan No You Na Hibi Kara Hajimatta Nait all started from those days that felt like a faint joke.
Massugu De Mo Mayou Mono Dou Shinjiru No Wakaranai Aimai Ni Yotta Tte MudaEven on a straight path, I get lost, not knowing what to believe, and it’s useless getting drunk on ambiguity.
Sukaato No Shiwa O Nobasu Mitai Ni Kantan De Wa Nain Da Na Toriaezu Kaettara NeyouIt’s not as simple as smoothing the wrinkles from a skirt, is it? For now, I’ll just go home and sleep.
Cry High Fly Wa KossoriCrying, flying high, all done in secret,
Peshan Ko Na Ima Ni Pittariit’s the perfect fit for my flattened-out life right now.
Shiawase Wa Wakerareru Hodo Ima Temoto Ni NaiI don’t have enough happiness on hand right now to share any.
Biyaku Na Uneri Ni Oosawagi Zannen To Hazure O MekuriMaking a fuss over a subtle ‘aphrodisiac’ wave, I keep flipping over cards of disappointment and failure,
Namida No Nami Ni Utsuru Itsu Made Mo Tooi Tsukiand in the waves of my tears reflects the ever-distant moon.
Asahaka Na Yatsu Da To Dokoka De Kechi O Tsukete SaCalling myself a shallow person, I found fault in it somewhere,
Kokoro To Nioi Ni Ochitsuku Basho Ga Hoshikatta NoI just wanted a place where my heart and its scent could feel at ease.
Otona Ni Natte Mo Machigaete Omoichigai Shite YogoreruEven after growing up, I make mistakes, get the wrong idea, and become tainted.
Sore Sura Totte Oku Kara Nanikamo Omoi O Nigirisugita Anata No Moji Mo NijindaI’ll even hold onto that, but because I’ve held onto every feeling too tightly, your handwriting has blurred.
Nankai Me Mata Nakun DarouHow many times will I end up crying again?
Be My Love Wa Kossori Aishite Hoshii To UkkariA secret ‘Be My Love’, as I carelessly wished you’d love me,
Netsuino To Tsumetai No Ga Majiru Mune No Nakawhile passion and coldness mix inside my chest.
Nani Mo Katazukanai Uchi Ni Sora Ga Owari Da Yo To Tsugeru Wakatteru Shinkokyuu Shita Fuyu Ni Kawaru KazeBefore I could sort anything out, the sky told me it’s the end, I know, so I took a deep breath as the wind turned to winter.
Cry High Fly Wa KossoriCrying, flying high, all done in secret,
Peshan Ko Na Ima Ni Pittariit’s the perfect fit for my flattened-out life right now.
Shiawase Wa Wakerareru Hodo Ima Temoto Ni NaiI don’t have enough happiness on hand right now to share any.
Biyaku Na Uneri Ni Oosawagi Zannen To Hazure O MekuriMaking a fuss over a subtle ‘aphrodisiac’ wave, I keep flipping over cards of disappointment and failure,
Namida No Nami Ni Utsuru Itsu Made Mo Tooi Tsukiand in the waves of my tears reflects the ever-distant moon.
Hamatteta Na Ubawareta Na Anata No ZenbuI was so into you, wasn’t I? All of you was stolen away.
