るゔぃえ Lyrics

In "Player", るゔぃえ sings about the complexities of communication and relationships, particularly in the context of a world that feels increasingly divided and cold. The opening lines of the song, "Kono boku no koe ga soko ni todoku nara oshiete hoshii bokura no imi wo" ("If my voice reaches you, I want you to teach me our meaning"), set the introspective tone, suggesting that even when we speak, we may not be fully understood. The following line, "Ano OTO mo koe mo nukumori mo USO to iu ni wa yasashisugiru kara" ("Because even the sound, the voice, the warmth seem too kind to be true"), implies that we may doubt the sincerity of others, even when they seem kind.

The chorus delves more deeply into the themes of the song, drawing on religious imagery to suggest a sense of powerlessness and confusion. "Kamisama wa tada tawamure no sono hate ni mizukara ni nise bokutachi wo tsukuri tamauta / Kono sekai wa maru de CHESUBOODO mitai ni kimi to boku wo zankoku ni wakehedateru" ("At the end of God's play, he creates fake versions of us / This world cruelly divides you and me like charades") compares life to a game, and suggests that we are powerless pawns in a larger scheme. The following lines, "Tsumiki no machi wa oto wo tatete sono keijou wo ushinatteyuku / Kodomotachi wa nemuru basho wo motometeiru" ("The city of blocks makes sounds, but loses its traffic / Children seek a place to sleep"), suggest that the world is changing, and that we are left struggling to find our place in it.

The final lines - "Kimi sae ita nara / Tengoku no hana wa kaze ni yureteiru kono shuumaku mo itsuwari no you ni / Mi wo yadoshi tagate kareochiru maru de bokura wo azawarau you ni" ("If only you were here / Even the flowers in heaven dance in the wind, this ending is like a lie / Body bent, withering, making fun of us") - reinforce the bleakness of the song. Even love cannot save us from the pain and confusion of the world.
