Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
行こう行こう いつもの街へ
ヘッドフォンの 音に揺られ
今日の景色 見つめながら
混み始めた竹下通りを
駆けて駆けて 駆け抜けきったら
さらに信号 渡った先
みんながいるから
ギリギリーセーフ?ギリギリアウト?
間に合った?間に合った?
ギリギリーセーフ?
午後1時の電車に乗って
行こう行こう いつもの街へ
休日は キミに会える
いつもと違う? 自分らしく
足を止めた お店で結構
夢中 夢中 夢中になっちゃう
待ち合わせ 時計を見て
いまさら焦るよ
間に合った?間に合った?
ギリギリーセーフ?ギリギリアウト?
間に合った?間に合った?
ギリギリーセーフ?
中身が詰まったクレープの
ぱんぱん具合に似ているね
宝箱みたいこの街の (この街の)
エネルギー
間に合った?間に合った?
ギリギリーセーフ?ギリギリアウト?
間に合った?間に合った?
ギリギリーセーフ?

ギリギリーセーフ?ギリギリアウト?
間に合った?間に合った?
ギリギリーセーフ?
行こう行こう いつもの街へ

The song "ぎりぎりセーフ" by きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ talks about going on a journey to the familiar town by taking the 10 a.m. train, looking at the scenery while listening to music on headphones. The person then races through the busy streets of 竹下通り to reach the other side of the signal to meet everyone who is waiting.
The second verse starts with the person taking the 1 p.m. train, and the occasion is meeting their lover or someone special. They visit their usual shops, eat crepes, and get lost in the moment. The person looks at his watch and starts to worry, but he eventually makes it on time, feeling relieved that he was able to meet his beloved.
The chorus repeats several times in the song, expressing the feeling of being just in time for something, although it might be close to missing it. The lyrics reflect the excitement of meeting friends and lovers, the love of familiar places, and the rush of time.
Overall, the song conveys a happy and exuberant mood, with the lyrics being straightforward and lively.
