On The Road
キラーメイ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

淋しさをのせたまま
どこまでも道はつづく
夢だけを見てたけれど
悲しみは今もそばに
忘れかけた歌を
思い出すたびに
なんてちっぽけなことばかり
だけどどこかの街に

探していたものがあるさ
幼い日に見た夢がかなうその日まで
今日も星の下で眠る

かなえられる日まで
夢を見せて...On The Road

In "On the Road" by キラーメイ (Kira May), the singer reflects on the journey of life and the emotions that come with it. The opening line, "Loneliness rests upon me," suggests a sense of melancholy that the singer carries within themselves. However, they go on to observe that the road ahead continues endlessly, emphasizing the idea that life is a constant journey with no clear destination. Despite this, the singer remarks that they had once only dreamed of following this path, but now that they are on it, sadness still follows them.

The second verse shows that the singer is able to find solace in a particular memory of a song they had forgotten, focusing on the small joys that bring happiness into their life. However, this joy is tempered, as they understand how insignificant these moments can seem when faced with the vastness of the road ahead. Nonetheless, the singer reveals that they continue on this path with a sense of purpose, recognizing that there is something they have been searching for in "a certain town," and connecting this to the dreams they had in childhood. They hold onto the hope that one day, their dreams will be realized, and until then, they will keep moving.

Overall, the song captures the sense of longing and uncertainty that often accompanies the journey of life, while also suggesting that there is a sense of hope that can drive us forward. Through the colorfully symbolic lyrics and the melancholic tone, the song serves as a reminder to keep going, even when times get tough.

With loneliness weighing me down
I feel alone and sad

The road continues endlessly,
I feel lost and don't know where to go, but the road stretches out in front of me

Although I only had dreams,
I had only dreams to cling to in my life

Sadness is still by my side,
I still feel sadness in my life

Every time I remember the forgotten song,
Every time I recall a song I forgot,

Only small things come to mind,
I think of small things that aren't important

But somewhere in this city,
But I know somewhere in this city,

I'm searching for something that is there,
There's something I'm searching for in my life

Until the day my childhood dreams come true,
I will keep dreaming until my childhood dreams come true

I sleep under the stars today,
I sleep under the stars tonight,

Until the day they are granted,
Until the day my dreams come true,
