ハナノユメ
チャットモンチー Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
これっぽっちの刃で 痛い痛い指の先
枯れてしまったピンク色のバラ
明日はちゃんと水を吸って
元気になりますように
どうかどうか 幸せをあげるから
ふらつく体 バランスとれてるかしら
トランス状態 抜け出せなくて
グルグルまわる 明日はどこ
薄い紙で指を切って 赤い赤い血が滲む
これっぽっちの刃で 痛い痛い指の先
バラのトゲを見ていたら
あなたの心の寂しさが
痛い痛い とがった心臓
ドクンドクン 血がめぐる
二本足で立つ (二本足で立つ)
地球の隅っこ (地球の隅っこ)
ふらつく体 (ふらつく体)
トランス状態 (トランス状態)
二本足で立つ 地球の隅っこ
ふらつく体 バランスとれてるかしら
トランス状態 抜け出せなくて
グルグルまわる あなたの声
薄い紙で指を切って 赤い赤い血が滲む
これっぽっちの刃で 痛い痛い指の先
あなたのトゲが刺さったようで
これっぽっちの小さな傷が
痛い痛い まあるい心臓
ドクンドクン 血がめぐる
枯れてしまったピンク色のバラ
幸せをあげるから
The lyrics of チャットモンチー's song ハナノユメ describe the pain of a small cut on a finger caused by thin paper, and the sight of a wilted pink rose. The rose wishes to have enough water to recover and be healthy again. The song also describes the feeling of being lost and unsure in life. The singer wonders if they are off-balance in this vast world standing on two feet. They feel like they are stuck in a trance, spinning round and round, not knowing where tomorrow will take them. The pain caused by the thorns of the rose seems symbolic for the reader feeling the pain in their heart while listening to the song.
The song's lyrics use metaphors to reflect on the difficulties one might face in life, such as feeling lost and unsure, feeling pain from tiny wounds, and feeling loneliness from seeing wilted flowers. The lyrics also suggest that there is hope for recovery and happiness, even when feeling lost. The song ends with a message of hope, offering happiness to those who may be struggling.

MY God. Her voice gives me chills. It has so much power, range and emotion.
Simply extraordinary. It's like it could reach out, touch the stars, and then fly further up. Breathtaking.
