Hitsujibungaku • From “12 hugs (like butterflies)”
What is the meaning of more than words Lyrics from 12 hugs (like butterflies)?
Moeka Shiotsuka writes that the mind replays every spoken line, fearing the wrong reply. The lyrics ask for presence that offers more than words.
Kare Ga Itta Kotoba Nando Mo Omoi KaeshiteI’m replaying the words he said over and over in my head.
Jouzuku Henshin Dekitaka Guruguruguru SuruWondering if I replied right, my thoughts are spinning ’round.
Itsukara Ka Seikai Wo Erabu No Ga Raku Ni NatteSince when’s choosing the ‘correct’ answer been so easy?
Honne Iuu Mujaki Na Peesu Tekitou Ni Gomakashite IruI’m just faking it, hiding the innocent pace of my true self.
Datte Dou Datte Iitte Waratte MoEven if I laugh it off and say it’s fine,
Mada Jibun No Koto Wo Aishitain DatteI still want to love who I am,
Mogaite Irun DeshouI’m struggling, aren’t I?
Kitto Machigai Darake No SutooriiA story that’s surely full of mistakes,
Koboresou Na Yoru Mo Hitori Janai KaraEven on nights I’m about to break, I’m not alone.
Just Be By Your SideJust be by your side
And Give You More Than WordsAnd give you more than words

Kaki Kake No Meiru Furi Dashi Ni ModoshiteI’m deleting the email I started and going back to square one,
Kime Kirenai Jibun Ni Guruguruguru SuruIndecisive, my mind’s just going ’round and ’round.
Wakaranai Koto Ga Oosugiru Sekai JaIn a world where there’s just too much I don’t understand,
Kashikoi Furi Wo Shite Mo Kizutsu Itari SuruI still get hurt, even when I’m acting like I’ve got it all figured out.
Itsukara Ka Shippai Wo Sakeru No Ni Muki Ni NatteSince when did I get so obsessed with avoiding failure?
Hontou Ni Hoshii Mono Akirame Te Nani Ga Shitai KaGiving up what I really want, losing sight of what I’m doing,
Mienakute Minugo Shite Zetsubou Dake Tokui Ni NatteI’m overlooking things until I’m only good at despair.
Sore Wo Mou Teokure To Kimeru Ni Wa Chotto Hayai NeIt’s a bit too early to call it a lost cause.
Datte Dou Shiyou Mo Nai Toki DemoBecause even when I’m at my wit’s end,
Mada Jibun No Koto Wo Shinjitain DatteI still want to believe in myself,
Kizuite Irun DeshouI’ve realized that now, haven’t I?
Kitto Onaji Youna Itami WoIf there are nights when you’re also
Tadotte Ku Yoru Ga Kimi Ni Mo Aru NaraTracing that same kind of ache,
Just Be By Your SideJust be by your side
And Give You More Than WordsAnd give you more than words
