愛してるの意味が知りたくて
影を追って 海に飛び込んだ
刺さったままの矢は錆び付いて
胸を貫通して抜けなくて
さよならの意味が知りたくて
過去を掘っても何もなくて
両手を合わせれば すくえると思ってたものは
隙間から零れ落ちた
欲しいものと今手に入るもの差を
埋めようと必死に生きていくほど
また新しく欲しいものに出会う
欲張りな自分が昔は好きだったのに
今はどれを手にしても付いてくる虚しい気持ち
痛みから逃げるために
書き始めたノートの切れ端
あの頃と変わらないのに
書き続けてもまだ胸は痛い
愛してるの意味が知りたくて
影を追って 海に飛び込んだ
刺さったままの矢は錆び付いて
胸を貫通して抜けなくて
さよならの意味が知りたくて
過去を掘っても何もなくて
両手を合わせれば すくえると思ってたものは
隙間から零れ落ちた
確信に触れたくて
深く深く潜る もがく
苦しみで板挟みになる
優しい人は無理はしないでと言うけれど
なら刺さったままのこの矢を今すぐ抜いてほしい
強い人になれたら
痛みも感じず生きていけるかも
甘い算段が自分を壊した
自分を守るって何？
トラウマ 不信感 回った毒
愛してるの裏に隠れた愛してほしい
与えるふりして奪っていた
演じて生きた先の結末この有様
本当の自分がわからない と
走り逃げようとする自分を抱きしめた
愛してるの意味が知りたくて
影を追って 海に飛び込んだ
刺さったままの矢は錆び付いて
胸を貫通して抜けなくて
さよならの意味が知りたくて
過去を掘っても何もなくて
両手を合わせれば すくえると思ってたものは
隙間から零れ落ちた
痛みから逃げるために書き始めたノートの切れ端
あの頃と変わらないのに
愛してるとさよならの欠片に突き動かされる

Note
TOKINE
Longing to understand the meaning of "I love you" and "goodbye."
Carrying a pain that remains pierced in the heart, words kept spilling into a notebook.
"Note" is a melodious emo-rap song that lays bare the struggle of facing unhealed wounds and lingering trauma.
The track, produced by NUU$HI, balances delicacy with depth. It holds a lightness that feels like looking back at the past, while embracing the pain and gently leading listeners forward.
The lyrics capture the "inner conflict" everyone experiences at some point. Each raw line and vocal delivery may awaken memories and emotions within you.
This song marks the 7th release in a 12-month consecutive release project.
Unable to voice emotions, she could only release them by writing lyrics, this became the very origin of TOKINE's songwriting.
"Note" is a song that connects that beginning with the present.
Emotional yet sharp. Fragile yet powerful.
"Note" takes you deep into the abyss of emotion, and there, it quietly extends a hand to you.
