The title is a reference to the 荻野千尋 (Chihiro “Sen” Ogino), of Spirited Away – an Oscar-winning film from スタジオジブリ (Studio Ghibli) released in 2001 which follows a girl who “learned to face her fears by developing a heightened understanding and appreciation of life.” During an interview in 2019, Billie professed her love to 宮崎駿 (Hayao Miyazaki)’s filmography (the dire...

CHIHIRO lyrics

To take my love away
When I come back around, will I know what to say?
Said you won't forget my name
Not today, not tomorrow
Kind of strange, feelin' sorrow
I got change (yup), you could borrow (borrow)
When I come back around, will I know what to say?
Not today, maybe tomorrow
Open up the door, can you open up the door?
I know you said before you can't cope with anymore
You told me it was war, said you'd show me what's in store
I hope it's not for sure, can you open up the door?
Did you
Take
My love
Away
From me?
Me
Me
Saw your seat at the counter when I look away
Saw you turn around, but it wasn't your face
Said I need to be alone now, I'm takin' a break
How come, when I returned, you were gone away?
I don't, I don't know why I called
I don't know you at all
I don't know you
Not at all
I don't know, I don't know why I called
I don't know you at all
I don't know you
Did you
Take my love
Away
From me?
Me
And that's when you found me
I was waitin' in the garden
Contemplatin', beg your pardon
But there's a part of me that recognizes you
Do you feel it too?
When you told me it was serious
Were you serious? Mm
They told me they were only curious
Now it's serious, hm
Open up the door, can you open up the door?
I know you said before you can't cope with anymore
You told me it was war, said you'd show me what's in store
I hope it's not for sure, can you open up the door?
Wringing my hands in my lap
And you tell me it's all been a trap
And you don't know if you'll make it back
I said, "No, don't say that"
(Wringing my hands in my lap)
(And you tell me it's all been a trap)
(And you don't know if you'll make it back)
(I said, "No, don't say that")
(Wringing my hands in my lap)
(And you tell me it's all been a trap)
(And you don't know if you'll make it back)
(No, don't say that)
Hm-hm
