#Joutowa Lyrics Meaning This Is Last | HOME
The songwriter describes a moment of heartbreak with raw honesty. A key line, ‘the night breeze makes the curtains sway,’ captures the emptiness of a one-room apartment after a lover’s betrayal. This is LAST uses this imagery to show how the past lingers, even when it’s no longer worth holding onto.
Nazunda yubisaki de gikochinakuWith my numb fingertips, I awkwardly
Hiraita tsuuchi wa kimi kara deopened the notification that came from you,
Iya ni odoru kokoro o kakushite itatrying to hide how my heart was racing with dread.
Ano koro hanashite ita yume wa kanai souIt seems like those dreams we talked about back then are coming true.
Kimi no mukashi kara no hanashi o gomakasu kuseYou’ve always had that habit of being vague about your past.
Ano ne jitsu wa ne kono tabi watashi ne kekkon suru koto ni natta no“Hey, look, the truth is… I’ve decided to get married this time.”
Rokujou hitoma no heya no sumi deIn the corner of this tiny one-room apartment,
Yogaze ga curtain o yurasuthe night breeze makes the curtains sway.
Imagoro boku o suteta kimi o koto oRight now, concerning you who threw me away,
Omotte yaru giri wa nai yo naI don’t have any obligation to think about you, right?
Tatta hitotema no sajikagen noIt seems like just one small bit of effort,
spice ga tarinakatta you daor a little ‘spice’ was missing from our mix.
Imagoro omoidasu kachi mo nai no niEven though you aren’t worth remembering anymore,
Kako ni sugari naku jibun gaclinging to the past and crying like this,
Nasakenai namakes me feel so pathetic.
Hanikanda you ni miseteActing as if you were shy,
Kimi ga iu danjo no yuujou wa nai karayou said there’s no such thing as friendship between men and women.
Sorenara kare wa dou na no“If that’s true, then what about him?”
Tte kyou mo kikenakatta naI couldn’t bring myself to ask that today, either.
Anna ni koishite saI was so deeply in love with you,
Assari inaku natte sabut you disappeared so easily.
Kuchiyakusoku bakari o kasanetaWe just kept piling up empty verbal promises.
Hontou no imi de waIn any real or meaningful way,
Kimi o shibarenakuteI couldn’t keep you tied to me.
Katte ni inaku naru na yoDon’t you dare just leave whenever you want.
Rokujou hitoma o tobidashite saI rush out of my tiny one-room apartment,
Sefuu ni tsuyoku utatarete saas the evening wind hits me with full force.
Sono uchi nani ka no machigai demoIf by some mistake, I eventually
Nippon ichi eraku nattarabecome the most powerful person in all of Japan,
Roppou zensho ni uwaki suru na toI’ll write ‘don’t ever cheat’ into the Compendium of Laws,
Kakitashi batsu mo omoku suruand I’ll make the punishment for it even heavier.
Sonna koto honki de kangaete shimau hodoThinking about things like that so seriously
Kimi e no jou tte yatsu ga mada nokotteru n’dashows I’ve still got some ‘lingering attachment’ left for you.
Rokujou hitoma no heya no sumi deIn the corner of this tiny one-room apartment,
Yogaze ga curtain o yurasuthe night breeze makes the curtains sway.
Imagoro omoidasu kachi mo nai no niEven though you aren’t worth remembering anymore,
Kako ni sugari naku jibun gaclinging to the past and crying like this,
