指でなぞりながら
ドロドロのメイク
指でなぞりながら お決まりの train
I don't lose my door
Anytime I'll be walking out, oh
I don't wanna know
Take me away from the hole
見えるかそこの corner side
曲がるなら今じゃない
死角なんて見てやしない
Let's go now, that's corner
見えるかそこの corner side
曲がるなら今じゃない
死角なんて見てやしない
Let's go now, that's corner
Grow, grow, make
Grow, grow, make
I gotta feeling and I don't know what I'm feeling
行けるどこまでも また立ち上がって歩くわ
不確実な dream
でもすかして I wanna drink
だなんて尽きた頃に築く family 季節の始まり
惑うほどに falling
隠せない 気持ち
振り向けば you call me
くだらない 情とフリ
切り捨てて また クリア
伏せないで 咲いて flare
止まらない
Don't tell me why
ドロドロのメイク
ドロドロのメイク
指でなぞりながら お決まりの train
ドロドロのメイク
ドロドロのメイク
ドロドロのメイク
指でなぞりながら お決まりの train
見えるかそこの corner side
曲がるなら今じゃない
死角なんて見てやしない
Let's go now
That's corner
見えるかそこの corner side
曲がるなら今じゃない
死角なんて見てやしない
Let's go now
That's corner
Grow, grow, make
Grow, grow, make
Grow, grow, make
Grow, grow, make
The lyrics of Iri's song Corner talk about the struggle to find one's own identity and place in the world. The verses describe the singer putting on her "ドロドロのメイク," or thick, heavy makeup, as she prepares to face the world. As she traces the makeup on her face with her fingers, she contemplates her life and where she is headed. She doesn't want to be stuck in a "hole" and longs to break free.
The chorus tells us to look to the corner, where there may be a new direction to take. The singer recognizes that she is lost, but she won't give up. She wants to keep growing and discovering new things. She acknowledges that her dreams may be uncertain, but she wants to pursue them anyway. The bridge talks about the various feelings she experiences - confusion, falling, uncertainty - but through it all, she is determined to keep moving forward.
Overall, the song is about seeking to break free from the norm and discover one's true self. It encourages the listener to embrace uncertainty and not be afraid to take a chance on something new.
