クリフハンガー (Cliffhanger) (English Translation) Lyrics
When did things become like this?
I can’t fall in love with anyone.
I’ve completely forgotten
what the feeling of love is like.
What changed inside me?
Is it because there are no exciting encounters?
There’s no one I want to see tomorrow.
The loneliness is deeply affecting me.
Watching a casual baseball game
on the riverbank,
someone’s laughter
makes me feel warm,
like the spring sunshine.
Love stories
only exist in dramas.
They’re impossible in reality.
Even if I expect such fantasies,
I’m always disappointed.
Love stories
are all illusions.
You’re not in front of me.
With a heart-pounding scenario in my mind,
it’s a love story I’ve imagined.
I don’t have that kind of romantic experience,
but somehow I’ve become timid.
Playing the lead role in a love story
is absolutely impossible.
Walking alone along the river,
I was soothed by the rippling water.
If I had someone important,
I would know the meaning of life,
and what a wonderful world it would be.
Even heartbreak
will be useful someday.
The tears I shed from sadness,
I remember wiping them away with my own hands
so many times.
Even heartbreak
will teach me something.
I want to meet someone like you.
Even if I expect things won’t go well,
the process is a love story.
Is it a coincidence? Or is it inevitable?
Fate is unpredictable
and constantly moving.
Whether it’s a happy ending or a bad ending,
I want to see what happens next.
It’s a cliffhanger.
Love stories
only exist in dramas.
They’re impossible in reality.
Even if I expect such fantasies,
I’m always disappointed.
Love stories
are all illusions.
You’re not in front of me.
With a heart-pounding scenario in my mind,
it’s a love story I’ve imagined.
Someone like you,
I want to meet someday.
Love is a cliffhanger.

クリフハンガー (Cliffhanger) (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning
The singer wonders when their heart became so distant and empty, realizing they can no longer fall in love and have forgotten how love once felt, which makes them confused and quietly sad.
They question what changed inside them and blame the lack of exciting meetings, noticing there is no one they look forward to seeing, while loneliness slowly sinks in and affects their daily emotions.
While watching a simple baseball game by the river, hearing someone laugh brings unexpected warmth, like gentle spring sunlight, showing how small ordinary moments can briefly comfort a tired and lonely heart inside.
They believe romance only exists in TV dramas and not real life, so whenever they start hoping for something magical, disappointment follows, reinforcing the idea that love stories are unrealistic dreams to them.
These imagined romances feel fake because the person they desire is never truly there, so all the exciting scenes happen only in their head, creating a pretend love that beats only in imagination.
They admit they lack real romantic experience and have grown shy and fearful, feeling that being the main character in a love story is impossible, as if confidence disappeared before they even tried.
Walking alone beside the river again, the flowing water calms them, and they imagine that having someone important would help them understand life better and see the world as something truly beautiful inside.
They reflect that heartbreak might be useful one day, remembering many times they cried alone and wiped away tears themselves, slowly learning endurance and self-reliance through repeated emotional pain and quiet inner growth.
They also believe heartbreak teaches lessons and hope to meet someone special, accepting that even if things fail, the time spent, feelings felt, and steps taken together still count as romance to them.
They wonder whether future meetings are chance or fate, knowing life keeps moving unpredictably, and decide they want to see what comes next, no matter if the ending turns joyful or painful inside.
The repeated thought returns that romance feels unreal and disappointing, since hoping for dramatic love only leads to letdowns, making them protect their heart by lowering expectations again and again over time slowly.
In the end, they still wish to meet someone someday and accept love as uncertain and unfinished, like a story paused at the edge, leaving hope alive even without clear answers for now.
