さよならGood Bye
チャットモンチー Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

確かに漂うあなたの歌で目が覚めた
まどろむ景色まつげの上にのっかっている
よく焼けたパンの匂いとんでもないマボロシ
まどろむ景色まつげの上にのっかっている

心がきしむ音聞きながら
奥歯がきしむ音聞きながら
あなたはどうやら壊れてしまった

愛され続けること愛し続けること
本当はよくわかってない
曇ったレンズで何を見ていた?
愛され続けること愛し続けること
本当はよくわかってない
曇ったレンズで何を見ていた?
あなたはもう地球にはいない

本物よりもキレイなコトバ本物よりもキレイなウソ
かき集めては撒き散らしかき集めては飲み込んだ

味のないガムみたいな吐いて捨てるほどの世界
踏んづけてくっついてしつこくて取れなくて

愛され続けること愛し続けること
本当はよくわかってない
曇ったレンズで何を見ていた?
愛され続けるよ愛し続けるよ
本当はよくわかってる

壊れた破片は光を浴びて
そしてまた世界を救っているよ

The singer admits to not truly understanding what it means, as if looking through a cloudy lens and questioning what they have been seeing all along. The final lines reveal that the person who held their attention is no longer on this Earth, but their broken pieces are still there, basking in the light and continuing to save the world.

Overall, the lyrics of "Sayonara Good-Bye" explore themes of fleeting beauty, illusions, and the complexities of love. The dreamlike imagery combined with introspective thoughts create a thought-provoking narrative.
