Stella Lyrics Meaning Emptei | Cafuné
奥中康一郎 tells a story of a bottle drifting across a galaxy, offering a concrete image of floating words. The line, “Words fill a bottle that’s drifting along,” uses a bottle as a physical object to show how thoughts travel. He writes about emptiness, then promises to cast sadness aside, while the artist sings a gentle farewell.
Tsumetai mizu de yume wo samashiteI wake from my dream with freezing water
Yoru wo megutte tadoritsuita noWandering through the night, I’ve finally arrived
Ai wo koboshite nani wo eta noWhat did I gain by letting love slip away?
Moteamashita wakusei no tabibitoJust a traveler of planets with too much to carry
Tashikameatte sayounaraWe confirm our feelings, then say goodbye
KieiranaidePlease don’t fade away
Tokeau me mukougawaOn the other side of our eyes melting together,
UchinukareteruI’m being pierced right through.
Hitomi no oku ni nemuru ginga niIn the galaxy sleeping deep within your eyes,
Ukabu bin ni michita kotobaWords fill a bottle that’s just drifting along.
Todokanai mama tadayou mama niWhile I’m drifting and never reaching you,
Modorenai tokoro made kita noI’ve come to a place where there’s no going back.
Tashikameatte sayounaraWe reach out to confirm, then say goodbye
KieiranaideDon’t just vanish
Tokeau me mukougawaAcross the space where our eyes dissolve,
UchinukareteruI’m being struck to the core.
Kara ni natte kawaitaraOnce I’m empty and dried out,
Kanashimi suteteI’ll cast this sadness aside,
Mamoru ki no nai yakusoku no eienIn the eternity of a promise I never meant to keep.
