Lost in Translation: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Micco Nami's Skylark
Lyrics
Based on what they say
Expressing awareness of public opinions or rumors.
I
Personal identity or perspective.
Know they only see the outside
People only perceive the external aspects.
Don't place me there it's too high
Rejecting a place due to its elevated status.
It's so cloudy I'm tongue tied
Feeling confused or unable to speak clearly.
I'm
Continuation of personal narrative.
Lost in translation
Feeling disconnected or misunderstood.
You taught me how to move gracious
Acknowledging someone's influence on graceful movement.
But my idea is still dangerous
Expressing potential danger despite guidance.
Wait
Pause, suggesting reflection or consideration.
If the pill's hard to swallow take time
Advice to take time to process difficult information.
Break it down
Encouraging breaking down complex issues.
Blissfully they're dancing
Describing joyful dancing.
The heat hit a record high this year
Referring to a high level of heat this year.
Hopefully they recognize this year
Hope that others will recognize something important.
Lost in translation
Reiteration of feeling lost or misunderstood.
All this misinformation
Highlighting the prevalence of false information.
There's these words
Reference to words that go unnoticed.
Falling on deaf ears like birds
Comparing words to birds that are unheard.
Singing sweet melodies
Metaphor for beautiful but unheard expressions.
Can you hear
Repeated emphasis on the act of hearing.
Hear
-Hear
-There's these words
Reiteration of unheard words as sweet melodies.
Falling on deaf ears like birds

-Can you hear
Encouraging close listening to understand the meaning.
Hear
-If you listen close enough
-You would know just what it means
Asserting that attentive listening reveals meaning.
Never needed you to know
Independence in thought and existence before someone's arrival.
Only needed you to hold
-I've resided in these thoughts alone
-Since way before the day you came along
Acknowledging personal growth in solitude but realizing a mistake.
Solitude is where I've grown
-But I been doing something wrong
-So I need you to come along
Expressing a need for companionship.
I just want to know
Seeking understanding of perceived strength.
Why you think I'm so strong
Questioning assumptions about personal strength.
So frail you can see bone
Highlighting vulnerability with visible bones.
