Avert your face (アヴァート) (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
They are constantly on the speaker’s mind, filling every thought and memory. The feelings and words they shared are remembered clearly, like precious keepsakes that can’t be put away. Because of this, the speaker feels mentally unstable and overwhelmed. Their emotions feel frozen, their gaze empty, as if they can’t react properly. They are slowly losing themselves, blinded by a pure, gentle warmth that feels sacred but also dangerous.

[Pre-Chorus]
The speaker feels they have nothing to offer in return and worries they are undeserving. Being looked at kindly hurts because it makes their feelings stronger. If that kindness truly means love, they feel so desperate and devoted that they would sacrifice everything, even life, just to accept it.

[Chorus]
The speaker begs to hear that they are special and not replaceable. They want affection that isn’t shared with anyone else. Even tiny actions feel powerful and deeply emotional to them. Simple touch brings warmth and reassurance. They admire everything that shapes the other person, seeing it as something unique and irreplaceable. In that moment, nothing else matters to them, and they believe this love alone is enough to keep them going. It fills their heart completely and gives their fragile world purpose.

[Post-Chorus]
The speaker realizes their unclear replies come from not being able to match words to feelings. Their heart races faster than their voice can follow. They still feel inferior and small, but this moment feels magical and precious. They don’t want it to end. Even if they feel flawed or unworthy, they beg to stay close. All they want is permission to remain by that person’s side and a promise they won’t be pushed away, so they can keep believing in this fragile happiness.

[Verse 2]
The speaker is trapped in constant desire, wanting closeness and shared moments but never acting on them. Everything happens silently inside their head like a private conversation. Their hopes grow quietly and become heavier with time. Even when the desire feels overwhelming, they believe nothing will change. The repeated thoughts show frustration and helplessness. They long deeply to connect, yet feel powerless, as if wanting alone isn’t enough and reality refuses to move with their feelings. They repeat these wishes again and again, stuck in a loop. The gap between desire and action hurts, making them feel lonely, impatient, and quietly desperate for something that may never arrive.

[Chorus]
The speaker wants all outside noise to disappear so their feelings can stay pure. They don’t want anyone else getting close. Tiny gestures suddenly feel huge, and a single smile makes them fall in love all over again. Everything else loses value and fades away. Their thoughts go blank as emotions overwhelm their body. The intensity is so strong that words fail, leaving them physically shaken by love. It’s messy, uncomfortable, and uncontrollable, yet completely focused on one person.

[Bridge]
The speaker asks for even the smallest chance to get closer. Being near the person matters more than anything. Even if their view is blocked or unclear, their emotions are too strong to hide. No barrier can stop these feelings from spilling out and demanding to be noticed.

[Chorus]
The speaker again pleads to be told they are special and chosen above others. They crave affection that belongs only to them. Casual actions and small words easily stir their heart. Each touch slowly teaches them what warmth feels like. They see the other person’s existence as something rare and beautiful. That presence alone feels complete. With that connection, they believe they need nothing more to survive emotionally. It becomes their entire focus, replacing fear with hope. In those moments, love feels simple, honest, and strong enough to erase every doubt they carry inside.

[Post-Chorus]
The speaker believes the unclear response comes from being unable to express feelings properly. Their heart overflows while their voice lags behind. Even while feeling inferior, they want to protect this special moment. They wish to share it exclusively and be chosen. Looking directly into the other person’s eyes, they ask for reassurance and a promise that these feelings will be returned. They are afraid of losing it and need clear confirmation to feel safe and valued emotionally.
