I'm sorry... after awhile, let me sleep by your name

The passing days drew us closer
The pain is matched with joy.
Both hands reflect that
I cry when I think of you.

There is a rain of sadness
It's fine just to remain unknown.
I tremble for repose, I remembered
What do you want to see in this reeled in dream?

I don't want you to fade
Let me hear, even a sigh.
A small heartbeat, that isn't there
I want you, come here!

Unchanging dreams, if this continues on
Please don't pause in your happiness.
Even if it doesn't need to call out, but,
The drowning days are piling over me.

I don't want you to fade
Let me hear, even a sigh
A small heartbeat, that isn't there
I want you, come here!

Even the hands of salvation is also in vagueness
Will there be a cocoon at intervals of the second, Without the string tearing off?

I don't want you to fade
I want to hear, even a sigh.
Little rhythm to the sound of the heartbeat
Of touched prayers delivered.

The name which I cannot call out I held closely
Counting with my fingers, I don't want tomorrow to disappear.

Hearing with blocked ears
The sound of a broken cradle.
The spring time will never come again
The crimson lotus is in bloom.

    "I got this info from another jrock forum called Top Flight so credits to that. It is originally in Chinese, so i translated it to English for better understanding =]

    so first, there are objects and colours that represents something in this PV So first, there are objects and colours that represents something in this PV

    1. the tap = penis 1. Penis the tap =
    2. red room = mother's uterus 2. Red room = mother's uterus
    3. white paint = sperm 3. White paint sperm =
    4. the girl = embryo 4. Embryo the girl =
    5. colour red = alive 5. Colour red = alive
    6. colour white = death 6. Colour white = death

    it also says that Guren actually means uterus in Jap oo.? all i know was that it meant lotus... It also says that Guren actually means uterus in Jap oo? All i know was that it meant lotus ...

    here we go: Here we go:

    at the beginning of the song you can hear the girl laughing [but i cannot hear that, maybe the single version?] ..which represents the embryo's innocence in the mother's stomach and also the baby's loneliness inside her mother At the beginning of the song you can hear the girl laughing [but i cannot hear that, maybe the single version?] .. Which represents the embryo's innocence in the mother's stomach and also the baby's loneliness inside her mother

    then you can see the girl moving around in her red dress, in the red room and she was painting the walls with the white paint. But eventually, the room turned white and her dress isn't red anymore but white, it meant that death has come upon the embryo and she died inside the mother's uterus Then you can see the girl moving around in her red dress, in the red room and she was painting the walls with the white paint. But eventually, the room turned white and her dress isn't red anymore but white, it meant that death has come upon the embryo and she died inside the mother's uterus

    if you watch the PV again, the girl walks/ move around ONLY when she's wearing the red dress, in the red room. But when gazette was singing, the girl was wearing white and she was standing in a corner, NOT MOVING because she died already so the whole scenery revolves around the death of the embryo If you watch the PV again, the girl walks / move around ONLY when she's wearing the red dress, in the red room. But when gazette was singing, the girl was wearing white and she was standing in a corner, NOT MOVING because she died already so the whole scenery revolves around the death of the embryo

    When you refer back to the lyrics, it actually makes sense and the lyrics are written from the mother's point of view. When you refer back to the lyrics, it actually makes sense and the lyrics are written from the mother's point of view.

    theres also another version of the story, but it says the mother is GIVING UP on her child and then she regrets what she did. Theres also another version of the story, but it says the mother is GIVING UP on her child and then she regrets what she did.

Album art
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Album art
Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Album art
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
