Winterboy Meaning & Lyrics (The Shes Gone)
兼丸 tells a story of snow piling on memories like fresh flakes. The line, Oh, person I can’t forget, please stay near me still, asks the lost lover to linger. The lyricist notes birds that laugh at the narrator, showing urban isolation.
Wasurerarenai hito yo douka mada chikaku ni iteOh, person I can’t forget, please stay near me still.
Wasurerarenai omoi hodo furitsumotte iru yoThe memories I can’t forget are piling up like snow.
Machi mo hito mo kotori sae moThe city, the people, and even the little birds,
Boku no koto wo mite sa waratte iru ka no youseem to be looking at me and laughing.
Toorisugaru shiawasesou na koibitotachi wo miru to iyake ga surun daI’m disgusted whenever I see the happy couples passing by.
Kioku no gashitsu wa sagaranai mama saido wa mashiteThe image quality of my memories doesn’t drop, and the saturation only increases,
Sutekisa dake wo nokoshite iku no nokotte iku noleaving only the beauty behind, it just stays there.
Wasurerarenai hito yo douka mada chikaku ni iteOh, person I can’t forget, please stay near me still.
Wasurerarenai omoigoto tokashi kitte kure yoPlease melt away every single one of these unforgettable feelings.
Nando datte sou norikoete ru koto datta karaSince I’ve overcome things like this so many times before,
Kondo mo daijoubu da toI thought I’d be fine this time too.
Imasara na omoi ga mune wo tsuyoku tataite iru yoBut these belated feelings are pounding hard against my chest,
Tsutaeru hito mo basho mo mou nai mou nai nonieven though there’s no one and nowhere left to turn to.
Nodomoto no tsumari ga genjitsu wo tsukitsukete kuru yoThe lump in my throat forces me to face reality,
Zenshin de me wo somukete miyou tomono matter how much I try to look away with my whole body.
Hajime kara souRight from the start,
Kitto nanika no machigai de majiwattewe must’ve crossed paths by some mistake,
Kimi ga guuzen boku wo yoi hito da to itte kureta sekaisen no ue deon a timeline where you just happened to call me a good person.
Boku hitori dake torinokosareteI’m the only one left behind,
Hana wo tooru kawaita itami de iki wo suru nobreathing through a dry pain that stings my nose.
