Chakura • From “Misshapen love”
I’m left behind in spring Lyrics Meaning Chakura | Misshapen love
Chakura notes the line ‘I won’t ever be able to forget the painful things’, a stark confession of lingering hurt. The performer shows the scene of cherry blossoms drifting over a quiet parking lot, while a bus departs toward Tokyo. The vocalist also writes about a second button on a shirt that never gets asked for, a tiny detail that anchors the longing.
Sakura wa azayaka ni saki imi mo naku yoru wo akasuThe cherry blossoms bloom vibrantly, wasting away the night for no reason.
Chuushajou no hiroi konbini de koboreta kayou ga yuugata wo shishitetaAt the convenience store with its vast parking lot, the drifting music dominated the evening.
Otona ni nattara sa mosukiito on mitai ni saWhen we grow up, just like a high-pitched ‘mosquito tone’,
Kokoro no koe ga kikoenaku naru no kanaI wonder if we’ll stop hearing the voice of our hearts?
Iya na koto mo omoidashite shimau karaBecause I end up remembering even the things I hate,
Kimi wa mou kaette konai kamo neyou might not ever come back again.
Kimi no kokoro ni ichiban chikai karaBecause I’m the closest one to your heart,
Sono botan choudai nante zutto ienai manmaI’ve never been able to ask you for that ‘second button’ from your shirt.
Warai dashitaku naru hodo ni hontou wa sabishiiI’m actually so lonely that I feel like I’m going to burst out laughing.
Setsunai made ni ureshii hibiThese days are so happy they’re almost painful.
Kimi wa yume wo motte Toukyou iki no basu ni notta no saYou boarded the bus for Tokyo with your dreams in hand.
Watashi wa mae wo muku kimi wo basutei kara mitetaI watched you from the bus stop as you looked straight ahead.
Inaku naranakya wakaranai taisetsu sa nante zurui yo naIt’s so unfair that I didn’t realize how much you meant until you were gone.
Kimi ni tokashita haruThis is the spring I’ve spent entirely on you.
Ato ni natte naite shimau n da kedo saI’ll probably end up crying about it later,
Mukau yume no tonari ni watashi wa inai n da kedo saeven though I’m not the one standing beside you in your dreams.
Jibun wo shinjirarenaku nattara kimi wo shinjiteru watashi wo shinjiteIf you ever lose faith in yourself, then believe in the me who believes in you.
Wakaba wa azayaka ni nabiki imi no nai koi wo sagasuThe young leaves sway vibrantly, searching for a love that has no meaning.
Hoshi no mienai kono machi de itsuka wa otona ni naruI’ll eventually grow up in this town where you can’t see the stars.
Tsurakkatta koto nante wasurerare ya shinai yoI won’t ever be able to forget the painful things.
Kizu wa itsu made mo nokoru kedoThe scars will remain forever, but
Ano sa konna no watashirashiku nai kedo watashi wa kimi ga nani ni natte mo suki da yohey, even though this isn’t like me at all, I’ll still love you no matter who you become.
Kimi wa yume wo motte Toukyou iki no basu ni notta no saYou boarded the bus for Tokyo with your dreams in hand.
Watashi wa mae wo muku kimi wo mado goshi ni mitetaI watched you through the window as you looked straight ahead.
Inaku naranakya wakaranai yasashisa nante zurui yo naIt’s so unfair that I didn’t realize how kind you were until you were gone.
Torinokosareta haruThis is the spring where I’ve been left behind.
Namida no hitotsu ya futatsu kurai misete okeba yokattaI should’ve let you see a tear or two.
Medatachitagariya no kimi wa saki he susumu kedoYou, who always love the spotlight, are moving forward,
Kokoro ga tama ni tsukarete shimattara nani mo nai kono machi de matterubut if your heart ever gets tired, I’m waiting in this empty town.
Kimi wa yume wo motte Toukyou iki no basu ni notta no saYou boarded the bus for Tokyo with your dreams in hand.
Watashi wa mae wo muku kimi wo basutei kara mitetaI watched you from the bus stop as you looked straight ahead.
Inaku naranakya wakaranai taisetsu sa nante zurui yo naIt’s so unfair that I didn’t realize how much you meant until you were gone.
Modoritai wa iwanai yoI won’t say that I want to go back.
Soba ni itai mo iwanai yoI won’t say that I want to be by your side.
Demo yappa watashi ga yokattatte koukai shite neBut I still want you to regret it, thinking I was the one for you.
Jibun wo shinjirarenaku nattara kimi wo aishita watashi wo omoidashiteIf you ever lose faith in yourself, then remember the me who loved you.
