Fantastic moving lyric...Kinobori to Akai Skirt
Posted: 2004-10-28 17:59
I have to confess that I haven't listened to Lucy for enough time to get an impression on every track. (Usually I tend to listen to a single song for EVER) So I only discovered Kinobori to Akai Skirt some days ago when I happend to run through every song in Lucy, reading the lyrics. It gave me a shock.....

Probably it is not one of the nicest tune, but the when it combines with its lyric it's just moving... I hate my broken English which doesn't allow me to translate it with its original taste (well, even if I use Chinese, I don't think I can translate this piece of work well), but I can't stop telling the story (Excuse my English =_=):
On a big, big snowy day, two of us met each other
You were little, standing on tiptoe to open the windows on the second floor
I just happend to come down...
After that, no matter where we went we were together
You were a crybaby, your tears flowed over my wings
I always got a bit wet, being troubled...
When I was still an angel
I saw all the world in you
We could talk to all the things...
On the first day of entering school, we were late
Though you are a girl, you are good at climbing trees
You picked strawberries and were lost in the dream...
And then, how many winters, springs and autumns had passed
You suddenly became taciturn
You can't even hear my energetic voice calling you from your chest-pocket
When I was still an angel
I was dreaming of you every day
I believed that dreams could come true...
"You can't see me anymore after you grew up
I got to know that even angels cry, for the first time, at that time"
I threw away my wings, and when I met you again
That was two years ago, also on a snowy day
You were standing before me, so pretty that I almost couldn't tell
Although I'm not an angel anymore
Although I can't return to be an angel anymore
I hope that you live on with all happiness
I will always stay with you
I will protect you from things that might hurt you
protect you from everything....
I know it's a almost cliched story, but when the lyric combines with the music and Maaya's angel-like voice, it just makes me T_T. Notice that the piano plays a sort of rhythm which sounds like snow-falling to me... There is just a imagery of whiteness and pureness.
When the song runs to "You can't see me anymore after you grew up", the voice seems to come from a telephone, which really stresses a sense of distance (lonely T_T).. And for me, somehow, it seems that her voice in the phone is never heard. (a right word to express my feeling: todokenai)
The song is like a series of old photos, recording beautiful moments together, but comparing with the reality of separating it is very sad.
Anyway, stop here = = = = I don't want to flood here with my tears.
