Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ただここでくすむ日々に
浮かんで溶けそうな色
目を凝らして探す日々に
浮かんで溶けそうな色
アンテナ拾った言葉から
繋いだよ 途切れる声
ただ歪んで軋む日々に
沈んで消えそうな色
手を伸ばして探る日々に
浮かんで溶けそうな色
アンテナ拾った言葉から
繋いだよ 途切れる声
アンテナ伸ばして放つから
繋いでよ 僕のすべて
チェック OK?
すべて失ったあの日
ドアを蹴飛ばして飛び出した
丘の上立った電波塔
溢れ出すいつかの思い
そうだ 言葉で確かめて
もっと僕の声
途絶えそうな僕の心が
空気に触れて永遠消える
そうだ 言葉で確かめる
もっと君の声
聞こえるよ君の心が
空気に触れて僕に届く
そうだ
君なんだろう？
アンテナ拾った言葉から
繋いだよ 途切れる声
アンテナ伸ばして放つから
繋いでよ 僕のすべて
チェック OK?
The lyrics of "電波塔" speak of an individual who is struggling with their daily life and searching for something more meaningful. The first stanza describes how they are surrounded by mundane and colorless days, but there is a glimmer of hope in the colors that they see floating around. The second stanza speaks of their desperation to find something more, even if it means having to strain their eyes and reach out for it.
The chorus of the song speaks of the singer's connection to an antenna that has allowed them to connect with others through words and voices. The bridge of the song takes a more introspective turn as the singer recalls a time when they lost everything but found solace in a radio tower. The final verse of the song is a plea to confirm their connection to another individual, perhaps the person whom they have been talking to through the antenna.
Overall, the song appears to be a reflection on isolation and the desire for connection, both with others and with oneself. The singer's connection to the antenna and the radio tower symbolize a means of communicating and reaching out to others, possibly showing that despite feeling lost and alone, there are always ways to connect with someone else.
