[Japanese:]
浮かび上がる君は
あまりに鮮やかで
まるでそこにいるかと
手を伸ばすところで
ふっと消えてしまう
淡々と降り積もった記憶の中で
君だけを拾い集めて繋げて
部屋中に映して眺めながら
込み上げる痛みで 君を確かめている
Oh-oh
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
Oh-oh
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
光も水も吸わないくらいに腐敗して
根も葉も無い誓いで 胸の傷を 塞いで
並ぶ２つのグラス 役割果たす
事もなく ああ そのままで
君の触れたままで
淡々と降り積もった記憶の中で
君だけを拾い集めて繋げて
部屋中に映して眺めながら
込み上げる痛みで 君を確かめている
正しくなくていいからさ
優し過ぎる君のまま
笑ってて欲しかっただけなのに それなのに
涙の量計れるなら 随分遅ればせながら
やっと今君のとなりまで 追い付いて
見付けたのさ
淡々と降り積もった記憶の中で
君だけを拾い集めて繋げて
部屋中に映して眺めながら
何ひとつ消えない君を抱きしめて眠る
君がささやく言葉がその響きが
行き場を失くして 部屋を彷徨ってる
嗅いでしまった香りが 触れた熱が
残ってるうちは 残ってるうちは
浮かび上がる君は
あまりに鮮やかで
まるでそこにいるかと
手を伸ばすところで
ふっと消えてしまう
[English translation:]
You, in my imagination
Are so vivid
As if you are right there
But I reach out my hand
And you suddenly disappear
From all the memories stored in my heart
I gather up the ones of you, link them together
Gazing at them projected across the room
I feel you with every burst of pain
Oh-oh
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
Oh-oh
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
Decay too far gone absorbing no light or water
Sealing my wounded heart with a rootless, leafless vow
Two glasses placed side by side, their role
Never fulfilled, ah, just as they were
Since you last touched them
From all the memories stored in my heart
I gather up the ones of you, link them together
Gazing at them projected across the room
I feel you with every burst of pain
Don’t have to be right
Just wanted you to stay the way you are
Kind hearted, always smiling, but
If tears can be measured, it took this long but
I’ve barely made it by your side
And found you
From all the memories stored in my heart
I gather up the ones of you, link them together
Gazing at them projected across the room
I fall asleep with you vivid in my arms
The words you whisper, the resonance
Wander aimlessly around the room
The fragrance I smell, the warmth I feel
As long as it lasts, as long as it lasts
You, in my imagination
Are so vivid
As if you are right there
But I reach out my hand
And you suddenly disappear
Exploring Memory and Longing in “Film Out”
BTS’s poignant track “Film Out” poetically captures the ache of longing and the persistence of memories. The song’s lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love or connection that exists only in the mind, as the narrator tries to grasp a presence that continually slips away. The recurring image of reaching out only to find emptiness speaks to the pain of loss and the struggle to hold onto fleeting moments. Throughout, there’s a heartbreaking beauty in how memories are gathered, linked, and replayed, filling empty rooms and echoing through whispered words and lingering scents. Ultimately, “Film Out” is a gentle meditation on love, grief, and the relentless passage of time, inviting listeners to reflect on their own cherished memories and what remains when someone is gone.
