| Artist: 鬼束ちひろ & BILLYS SANDWITCHES (Chihiro Onitsuka) Song Title: I'm With Your Shadow Album: Tricky Sisters Magic Burger Track Number: 5 Released: 2014 Lyrics By: Chihiro Onitsuka |
What a powerful song. Chihiro Onitsuka was one of the first Japanese artists I discovered (nearly 10 years ago!), and she still makes the most incredible music. I'm not entirely sure, but I really feel like this song is about the loss of innocence; trying to keep it with you, even during the darkest times of life. (Note: She said she was inspired by the cover art of Françoise Sagan's novel Bonjour Tristesse (Hello Sadness). The sad young girl on the cover really inspired this song.)

The clocks start to crumble. Keep rocking on the rocking horse. I will never be able to reach the other side of you. I pick up Sagan's novel, “Hello Sadness”... hello. Dreams last so long, and never was a lie. Take my hand, grasp it tightly. Keep rocking on the rocking horse. My heart is always with you. I'm with your shadow. Searching for the sound of darkness, I throw out all the words, connecting love to love. “Hello Sadness”... hello. Dreams last so long, and never is a lie, lie, lie. Leave this world, escape. Get off the rocking horse, float in a dream. My feelings are always inside you. I'm with your shadow. Scream and the earth... in the rotating emotions, a lost child accelerates. Dreams last so long, and never was a lie. Take my hand, grasp it tightly. Keep rocking on the rocking horse. My heart is always with you. I'm with your... I'm with your shadow. |
