ガロン
くるり Lyrics

These lyrics speak metaphorically about the concept of "electromagnetic waves" and "hope" in the context of a stormy night and a dark, black sea. The repetition of the phrases "What gallon is my electromagnetic wave?" and "What gallon is your electromagnetic wave?" suggests a sense of uncertainty and questioning about the strength or capacity of their communication.

The mention of the stormy night implies a challenging or difficult situation, but the singer reassures that they will come to pick up the other person, indicating a sense of support or companionship. This line could also symbolize the singer's determination to be there for the other person in their times of trouble.

The second verse continues with the repetition of the phrases about electromagnetic waves and hope. The mention of the "black, cold sea" and the comparison to oil indicates a harsh and uninviting environment, perhaps representing the challenges or obstacles they face in their journey. The reference to becoming tired or sleepy implies that they have been on this journey for a long time and may be starting to lose energy or motivation.

The following lines about rising temperatures and a deathly horizon turning into a flower field suggest a transformation or a change in the world around them. The references to burning oil and asking where it should be released could symbolize the confusion or uncertainty about what to do with their emotions or desires. The questions about where their feelings have burned out or where the electromagnetic waves have been interrupted reflect a sense of searching or introspection.

The mention of raising a flag on the hill of wind suggests a determined effort to make their presence known amidst the challenges. The final plea to not fall asleep and a request for the recipient to stay awake could represent a desire to keep fighting or to stay connected despite the difficulties they face. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of perseverance and a willingness to navigate through challenging circumstances together.
