サカナクション Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "Sentrei" by the Japanese band サカナクション (Sakanaction). The song expresses a sense of longing for change and a search for connection in a seemingly lonely and vast world.

The first verse starts with the line "I cleaned up the dirty desk at night, wondering if something will change." This can be interpreted as the singer trying to tidy up their surroundings and hoping for a shift in their life or circumstances. They scratch their back with one hand and let out a sigh, contemplating whether it's time to go.

In the space between midnight and the early hours, fatigued from night flight, the singer feels like they are in space as they continue to walk through the smoke. They desire to escape the loneliness of the night and reach a point where they can see the connected world. The repetition of "until a thousand" suggests a perseverance in counting and searching for that connection.

The lyrics convey a sense of not fully knowing everything yet, but being able to adapt quickly. There are many things the singer still cannot express, but they find solace in being able to voice them in the night. The singer envisions becoming an adult while walking along the path of history and reaching the point where they can connect with the universe.

In the chorus, the singer declares their determination to continue pursuing the midnight and surpassing the loneliness of the moon. They have reached a point where the connected world starts to become visible. The line "The world where 1000 and 0 and lines and dots overlap, the world where you and I are connected" highlights the theme of finding connection and transcendence in a complex and overlapping reality. The final line, "Stay here like this, without anything changing, without saying anything, goodbye world," expresses a sense of resignation and acceptance, as if the singer has come to terms with the limitations of their current situation.
