ラブソングは唄えない (rabu songu wa utaenai)

Reiko Takahashi's song "ラブソングは唄えない (rabu songu wa utaenai)" translates to "I Can't Sing a Love Song" in English. The lyrics paint a poignant picture of unrequited love and the emotional turmoil that accompanies it. The song opens with the imagery of the protagonist waiting by a pale pink door, symbolizing a sense of hope and longing. The strong winds mentioned could represent the emotional turbulence she feels as she hugs herself, trying to find comfort in her solitude.

The lyrics delve deeper into the protagonist's feelings of loneliness and the futility of her emotions if they are not acknowledged by the one she loves. The line "あいしただけあいされてないなら (If I'm not loved as much as I love)" highlights the imbalance in their relationship, making her feel like her time and emotions are wasted. This sentiment is further emphasized when she places her ear to his chest but can no longer hear the love that once existed, signifying the end of their emotional connection.

The chorus, with its refrain of "love song うたえないわ (I can't sing a love song)", encapsulates her exhaustion and heartbreak. The ringing bell in her room symbolizes the persistent reminders of her unfulfilled love, and her repeated attempts to give up on him. Despite knowing that kindness and love can be found elsewhere, she yearns for a reciprocal love that seems to be sleeping somewhere out of reach. The song concludes with a sense of resignation, as she acknowledges that she cannot sing a love song if her love is not returned, leaving her with a melancholic farewell.
