Yoko Takahashi - The Image of Black Me Lyrics



Yoko Takahashi - The Image of Black Me Lyrics




[ Featuring Megumi Hayashibara ]

Look at me what do you see?
Am I real or just a dream?
Am I something that you need?
Or just an image of me?

Yureru honou no saki ni nani o miru?
Yureru kokoro no saki ni dare ga iru?
Moshimo anata no ai ga koko ni aru nara
Yurete yuragu shinjitsu
Sore de ii no yo

Look at me what do you see?
Am I real or just a dream?
Am I something that you need?
Or just an image of me?

Ame ga furanai dake de
Sekai wa owaru?
Taiyou o sagekaete
Nani o hajimeru?

Tsutsumi kakusazu misete
Jiyuu mo ai mo
Kowagaranakute mo ii
Subete saji kagen hitotsu

Look at me what do you see?
Am I real or just a dream?
Am I something that you need?
Or just an image of me?

Look at me, what do you see?
Am I real, or just a dream?
Am I something that you need?
Or just an image of me?

What do you see at the end of the swaying flames?
Who is at the end of the swaying heart?
If your love is here,
The truth sways and wavers.
Is that okay?

Look at me, what do you see?
Am I real, or just a dream?
Am I something that you need?
Or just an image of me?

If it doesn't rain,
Will the world end?
If we replace the sun,
What will we begin?

Show me without hiding,
Both freedom and love.
You don't have to be afraid.
Everything is just a matter of balance.

ゆれる炎の先に何を見る?
ゆれる心の先に誰がいる?
もしも あなたの愛がココにあるなら
ゆれて ゆらぐ 真実
それでいいのよ

Am I real or just a dream?
Am I something that you need?

雨が降らないだけで
世界は終わる?
太陽を挿げ替えて
何を始める?

包み隠さず見せて
自由も愛も
怖がらなくてもいい
全てさじ加減ひとつ

Yoko Takahashi - The Image of Black Me Video
(Show video at the top of the page)


The lyrics reflect a sense of uncertainty and introspection, questioning one's own existence and identity. The repeated questions, "What do you see?" and "Am I real or just a dream?" express the speaker's doubt about whether they are truly seen or understood by others, or if they are merely an illusion or projection. There's also a theme of love and truth, with the desire for honesty and vulnerability ("Show me without hiding, both freedom and love").

The lines about the rain and the sun suggest existential questions: If the world is unchanged by something as simple as the weather, what truly defines the beginning and end of things? It seems to be about the delicate balance of life and love, and how everything may depend on perspective or "balance."
