アルルカン Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
その手で壊して
憂鬱な現状
無気力な身体
理由を探す理由が無い
「ドコニモいけない」
塞がれた空は
理由が欲しいと
何かを待ってた
やり過ごすだけの時間に
引き金を引いて
言ってしまえば良い
サヨナラに代わる言葉を
創り上げる自分の理想
気が付けば首を絞められてる
矮小な僕を誰より
認めて欲しくて
この場所から
高く飛べる、高く飛べる。
そんな気がして
疑いたくなくて
気付かないフリをしてた
もしもこのまま
傷付かずに、傷付かずに
笑っていられるとしても僕は
創り上げる自分の理想
気が付けば首を絞められてる
矮小な僕を誰より
認めて欲しくて
この場所から
高く飛べる、高く飛べる。
そんな気がして
疑いたくなくて
気付かないフリをしてた
もしもここから
高く飛んで、高く飛んで。
いけたら
その目で僕だけを見て
The song "Eclipse" by Arukukan talks about the struggle of achieving one's ideal self and the difficulties encountered along the way. The lyrics open with a line about creating one's ideal self, only to destroy it with one's own hands. They then delve into the feelings of depression and lack of motivation that come with the struggle of self-improvement. The singer cannot find a reason to continue striving towards their goals and feels lost, trapped in a hopeless situation. The imagery of a blocked sky, similar to their own blocked heart, enhances the bleak feelings.
The chorus then brings up the notion of wanting recognition for one's efforts, despite the singer's perceived small stature. They want to stand out and be acknowledged for their hard work. The bridge then has the singer admitting that they were only pretending not to see the obstacles in their journey towards self-improvement. The song ends with the singer admitting their desire to fly high and calling out for someone to witness their success.
Overall, "Eclipse" addresses the struggle towards achieving one's ideal self, while acknowledging the real difficulties and setbacks involved. The song touches on feelings of hopelessness, lack of motivation, and the desire for recognition.
