week...end
ねごと Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
燃えるゴミの日に出せばよかったな
いつもの駅前はひどい人の群れで
どこにも帰る場所はないようです
いま会いたい‥
オレンジに沈む
街が傾いてゆく
照らされても息ができない
言葉の指切りって
そんなに意味があんの
放物線描いては消える声
伸びる影の先を知りたくて
バスに飛び乗る もう何もない
後ろ姿を 指差されてもいい
会いたい‥
オレンジに沈む
街が傾いてゆく
色褪せてく世界の週末
ばいばい
さようなら ...
さようなら
The lyrics to ねごと's song "week...end" portray a sense of loneliness and longing for connection. The opening lines speak of yesterday's empty shell still lying on the floor, suggesting a feeling of stagnation. The singer regrets not taking out the trash on the designated day, perhaps symbolizing missed opportunities or the desire to let go of past experiences. The usual station is described as crowded with unpleasant people, highlighting a lack of belonging or a sense of displacement. The phrase "I want to see you now" emphasizes a yearning for companionship.
The imagery of the city sinking into an orange sunset creates a somber atmosphere, reflecting the singer's emotional state. The line "Even when lit, I can't breathe" suggests that even when surrounded by vibrancy, the singer still feels suffocated or unable to fully engage with their surroundings. The repetition of "bye-bye" and "goodbye" at the end further emphasizes the theme of departure or closure.
Overall, the lyrics of "week...end" convey a sense of isolation, unfulfilled longing, and a melancholic reflection on the passing of time.
