Homecomings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
街の温度が少し下がる
なりたくもないものに変身してる
誰かの涙が落ちていく
夜の背中から見下ろして
約束の出番がやってくる
誰かの窓から投げる紙飛行機
鉄塔にささる青い夜
ここにいる 同じ形を持ち寄って
朝が来るのを待っている
きらめく光を追いかけてきたよ
まぶしくても手を離さないで
曖昧な地図の上でコンパスの針は回り続ける
まばたきのフィルム 見逃してた合図
透明でにじむ春の夜
ここにいる 同じ形を差し出して
夜にふたりがなっている
きらめく ランドリーで会おうよ
まぶしくても手は離さないで
ここにいて いつかこぼれおちたときは
このうたが手を伸ばしている
きらめく光を追いかけてきたよ
まぶしいけど ほら
ここにいる 同じ形を持ち寄って
朝が来るのを待っている
きらめく 光を追いかけてきたよ
まぶしくても手を離さないで
The lyrics to Homecomings's song "Here" describe the experience of being present in a city at night. The song begins with a description of a streetlight going out, and the subsequent cooling of the city temperature. The singer acknowledges that they are transforming into something they don't want to be, perhaps in reference to the city's cold and isolating atmosphere. The lyrics then describe viewing the city from above, watching as someone's promise is fulfilled, and seeing a paper airplane thrown from a window and landing on a transmission tower.
The second verse speaks of the singer's desire to hold on to the dazzling lights, even as they are lost in the murky night. The lyrics mention a compass spinning on a vague map, and a signal missed because of a blink of an eye. The song concludes with a plea to stay and wait for the morning to arrive, and the singer's determination to keep chasing the sparkling light, no matter how blinding it may be.
Overall, the lyrics of "Here" convey a longing to hold on to something bright, even in the midst of dark and murky circumstances. It suggests a desire to remain present and hopeful, even when surroundings are cold and uncertain.
