ひとりぼっちの人工衛星
ゆらゆら帝国 Lyrics

The lyrics to ゆらゆら帝国's song "ひとりぼっちの人工衛星" evoke a sense of farewell and departure, as well as a longing for loved ones and familiar spaces. The opening lines speak of a break in communication, bidding goodbye to someone and observing them from above until today. The mention of "静まれ 嵐" (calm down, storm) and "静まれ 暴力" (calm down, violence) hints at a desire for peace and resolution in the face of conflict and meaninglessness. The repetition of "好きな 人" (loved one), "好きな 場所" (favorite place), and "好きな 星" (favored star) underscores the theme of attachment and affection towards specific individuals, locations, and celestial bodies.

As the song progresses, the artificial satellite completes its mission and bids adieu to its surroundings, urging to depart towards the unknown. The repetition of "さよなら" (goodbye) to various elements of nature like "緑" (green), "引力" (gravity), and natural landscapes like "海 野 谷 山 丘" (sea, fields, valleys, mountains, hills) symbolizes a comprehensive parting with the familiar and embracing a new journey. The refrain highlighting "つぎは 月" (next is the moon) and "つぎは 火星" (next is Mars) suggests a progression towards distant destinations, leaving the current orbit behind in search of new experiences and encounters.

The repetition of the initial lines signifies a cyclical nature of separation and observation, emphasizing the bittersweet sentiment of solitude and nostalgia. The plea for calmness amidst chaos and conflicts, encapsulated in "静まれ 海 野 谷 山 丘" (calm down, sea, fields, valleys, mountains, hills), reflects a desire for tranquility amidst turmoil. The extensive list of "好きな" (favorite) elements such as "人" (people), "場所" (places), and "星" (stars) underscores a deep emotional attachment to specific aspects of life and the universe, suggesting a profound longing and yearning for what is cherished.

The concluding lines expand on the notion of affection and endearment towards not just people, places, and stars but also towards more specific landscapes like "丘" (hills), "山" (mountains) and "谷" (valleys), as well as elements of nature like "川" (rivers). This repetition of preferences and sentiments towards various aspects of existence reinforces the theme of emotional depth and connection. The final repetition of "好きな 人" (loved one), "好きな 場所" (favorite place), and "好きな 星" (favored star) brings the lyrics full circle, encapsulating a profound sense of attachment, longing, and appreciation for what holds significance in the singer's heart and soul.
