ねごと Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
始まりの合図
左胸の引き金 静かに轟く
突然ため息
代わりはいらない
迷い方さえ忘れて
息絶えたっていい
真っ白な瞬間に触れるなら
その目を覚まして
すべてを放り投げてしまえよ
誰より近づいて答えを見つけ出す
greatwall 超えるまでどれくらい?
頭を横切るのは
想像 弾けるサイン
入り混じる視界は進まない迷路
今の場所はいつでも
あるものじゃないし
眩しくて 仰ぐ
終わりはいらない
壁の向こうで‥
もうひとつの声だ
ここから呼びかけてしまいそう!
Feeling Climber 超えてくんだ
先まで掴んで
短い閃きほど絶え間ない
いくつもないんだきっと
その手に残るのは
greatwall 譲れない心だけ
Free way ‥ Falling motion
Flee Fall Falling motion
Great wall ‥
Silence Climber 気持ちなんて
何度でも鳴らせよ
意味のない隔たりはもう壊して
誰より頷いて答えを与えよう
greatwall 限りない続きまで
The lyrics to "greatwall" by ねごと convey a sense of overcoming obstacles and finding oneself amidst confusion and uncertainty. The song starts with the singer feeling as if their memories have been stolen, but they are spurred into action by a quiet trigger in their heart. They no longer need replacements or directions, they just want to forget their previous doubts and embrace the possibility of even dying if it means they can touch a pure moment. The chorus emphasizes climbing the sentence climber, awakening their eyes, and throwing everything away to get closer to finding answers. They question how long it will take to surpass the greatwall.
The bridge of the song paints a picture of conflicting thoughts and a maze-like vision that doesn't progress. The current place they find themselves in is not certain, and they look up, overwhelmed by brightness. They reiterate that they don't need an end and there's another voice beyond the wall, almost tempting them to call out from that point. The second chorus talks about feeling climber, grabbing hold until the end, and the constant flow of short inspirations. They stress that there aren't many, but what remains in their hands is an unyielding heart connected by the greatwall. The final line expresses the desire to break down meaningless barriers and give answers that are agreed upon by everyone.
