ピリオド。 (Period.) (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
The singer feels overwhelmed by something from the past that they don’t want in their life. They don’t understand it, think it’s messy, and want to forget it, even though it sticks in their memory. They question whether it was love but dismiss it casually. Daily life feels mechanical and tiring, and they just want space, not wanting to interact or deal with anyone while feeling emotionally off, almost like they’re operating in a separate, binary world.

[Post-Chorus]
These sounds show emotional release, like a sigh or letting go of tension.

[Verse]
The singer struggles with feeling powerless over their life and relationships. They know they can’t control who they’re connected to and feel stuck in a situation with someone they don’t want to deal with. They are firm in their feelings and want to be left alone, frustrated that fate keeps putting them in contact with someone they’d rather avoid, as if the universe is being unfair.

[Chorus]
The singer expresses strong rejection and distance toward someone from their past. They see this person as tainted and refuse to become like them. Despite never forgetting them, they demand space and separation, refusing any apologies or reconciliation. They acknowledge lasting pain but insist on moving forward, setting firm boundaries while still acknowledging the memory, ending with a clear goodbye and the desire to remove this person from their life permanently.

[Post-Chorus]
The sounds express finality and emotional release while saying goodbye.

[Outro]
A simple farewell, emphasizing closure and moving on.
