不良マネキン
フレネシ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

夜の　ショウウィンドウは
人気のない　歩道映して
パルス　信号の赤
同期するのは　彼女のため息

曇ったガラス越し　水滴の向こう
何が広がってるの　ねえ　知りたいの

ドレスのすそ　なびかせて　一人　駆け出した
着飾るだけの日々　もう戻りたくないもの
風に散る　雨とタンゴ　朝まで　踊るのよ
わたし　不良マネキン

夜の　交差点には
必要のない　横断歩道
パルス　信号の青
同期するのは　彼女の吐息

曇ったガラス越し　水滴の向こう
何が広がってるの　ねえ　知りたいの

細いヒール　脱ぎ捨てて　一人　駆け出した
着飾るだけの日々　もう戻りたくないもの
風に散る　雨とボレロ　朝まで　踊るのよ
わたし　不良

ドレスのすそ　なびかせて　一人　駆け出した
着飾るだけの日々　もう戻りたくないもの

風に散る　雨とタンゴ　朝まで　踊るのよ
わたし　不良マネキン

Overall Meaning

The song "Furyou Mannequin" by フレネシ ("Rebel Mannequin" in English) is about a girl who leaves her old life behind and runs away from it all. The first verse describes her standing in front of a store window on a deserted street, looking at her reflection while the traffic light synchronizes with her sighs. Through the cloudy glass and droplets of water, she wonders what's out there beyond the window. The pre-chorus talks about her running away, leaving behind her old life of dressing up every day and never wanting to return.

The chorus then repeats and emphasizes her identity as a rebellious mannequin, a metaphor for her desire to be her own person and live life on her own terms. The second verse is similar to the first, but this time the girl is standing at a crosswalk, again in synchronization with someone or something (in this case, her breath). She, once again, wonders what lies beyond the droplets of water and cloudy glass. The bridge has the same theme as the pre-chorus, with the addition of her tossing aside her high-heels and dancing in the rain with a bolero until morning comes.

Overall, the song is about breaking free from societal expectations and norms, and creating one's own path in life, even if it means running away from everything and everyone that's familiar.
