Honne
Mei Watanabe • From “Hazy”
What is the meaning of Honne Lyrics from Hazy?
Watanabe describes a sleepless night where everything feels unreal. She asks for silence on clear, hard truths, whispering instead about the vague and simple things. The lyrics mention ‘honne,’ the true feelings hidden behind social masks.
Nemure nai yoru dakaraBecause it’s a sleepless night,
Me o tojite ite yoplease just keep your eyes closed.
Kimi to nenochiru madeUntil I fall asleep with you,
Owaranai yoru dakedoeven though this night feels endless,
Mukiaitakunai yoI don’t want to face the truth.
Dore mo kiyasume ni naranai waNothing brings me any peace of mind.
Yodomu nami kakiwaketePushing through the stagnant waves,
Haiiro no keshiki no naka dein the middle of this grey scenery,
Iki suru bokura toumei nawe’re breathing, yet we feel transparent,
Nanizhero demo nai noas if we’re nobody at all.
Aimai na koto tanjun na kotoVague things and simple things,
Douka sasayaiteplease whisper them to me.
Meikai na koto nankai na kotoClear things and difficult things,
Douka iwanaideplease don’t say them at all.

Shiritai sekai no honne oI want to know the ‘honne’ or true feelings of the world.
Akira metakunai noI don’t want to give up.
Ai o bokura kataru ni waFor us to speak about love,
Shirisugita tatemae owe’ve known the ‘tatemae’ or social masks for too long.
Sutete made toosu monoIt’s something we must protect, even if we discard them,
Kagiri aru kono inochiin this life that has its limits.
