R138
パスピエ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

違和感キツネが葡萄を盗んでいったとか
それは涙も凍る夜ってどんな夜?

恋はキツネじゃないけれど君は葡萄じゃないけど
流動的でいたいもの右手上げれば

飛ばせ青く 138 捕まえたいんだ今を
君を盗んじゃいたいなあるいは僕のしわざ

距離感すぐそばに届かない場所がある
それは冬の日に思い出す春のこと

春を想って泣く袖に映る花の香り
気のせいでもナンセンスでも我を忘れて

止まれ赤く 138 捕まえたいんだ今を
あの頃から一心不乱に生きてるだけなの

世界中が一週間で変わるわけないけど
君のあと二、三分間後を変えてみたい

飛ばせ青く 138 捕まえたいんだ今を
君を盗んじゃいたいなあるいは僕のしわざ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of パスピエ's song R138 talk about the strangeness of some situations that are difficult to understand or accept, and the longing to capture a moment in time. The first two lines mention a fox stealing grapes, creating a sense of unease or discomfort. The following lines ask about the nature of the night when tears freeze, signaling an extreme situation. This is then contrasted with the desire to remain fluid and unpredictable, as expressed by wanting to be caught in the act of flying freely through the sky (青く飛ばせ) or capturing a moment (捕まえたいんだ今を).

The lyrics then shift towards a personal, romantic context, where the fox and grapes analogies are applied to the singer and their desired partner. The singer says that their love is not like a fox and the other is not a grape, but they both want to remain fluid and unpredictable, even if it means being caught doing something unexpected. They crave that feeling of freedom and spontaneity.

Overall, the song seems to be about embracing the unknown, facing the unexpected, and capturing moments of passion and freedom. It has a dreamlike quality and the lyrics are open to interpretation, leaving room for the listener to connect with the emotions expressed.
