レミオロメン Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
二人の背中を照らす月明かり
枯れ葉を運ぶ風は何よりも自由で
そんな風に生きたいと思ったよ
内側をさらす 迷路をくぐり抜けて
近くに行けたらいいのにな
伝えたい言葉を探すけど
吐く息は凍えてて 体を寄せ合った
あまりにも奇麗だから
このまま歩きたい
夜空を満たす風が月光を泳いでいる
街の灯りに呼吸が重なり合って
ざわめきの中 言葉はいらない
枯れ葉をたどる光は何より優しくて
そんな風に生きたいと思ったよ
ツリーが揺れてる
イルミネーションの中
求めるのは誰の温もり
人混みの中
たったひとつの温かさに
出逢ったよ お互いに向けられた
あなたと生きる事 分かつ事
この一秒の中にある
粉雪舞い降りて距離が近づいてゆく
ほら
眩しい雪の反射
羽ばたいた無名の渡り鳥の様な
青い月 ...
冷たい手を温めて体を寄せ合って
あなたのことが好き
この時が一秒ずつ過去になって
いつかは思い出が夜空を満たす星で
埋まるまで歩かないかい
オリオンが矢を射り
冬枯れの街の中を流れ星が
僕らを横切って彼方に落ちてゆくよ
雪が染める街を抜けて
These lyrics are from the song "Orion" by Remioromen. The song begins by describing a winter evening in a city, with the scent of winter filling the air. The moonlight illuminates the backs of two people, and the wind that carries the fallen leaves represents the desire for freedom. The singer wishes to live in such a free-spirited way and hopes to find a way through the maze of life to get closer to someone. However, the words they want to convey are frozen in their breath, so they rely on physical closeness, leaning against each other.
The second verse continues the theme of finding warmth and tenderness in the midst of the city's hustle and bustle. The gentle light that traces the fallen leaves represents the singer's desire to live with such kindness. They question whose warmth they seek amidst the Christmas lights and the crowded streets. In the middle of the crowd, they meet someone who directs their attention towards a single warmth. The lyrics then describe how their lives and separations intertwine in a single second. The distance between them slowly diminishes as the snow falls, creating a dazzling reflection.
The ending of the song brings together the image of Orion shooting an arrow and a shooting star crossing their path. The singer expresses their love for the person they are with, and how each passing moment becomes a part of the past. They speculate that one day, their memories will fill the night sky like stars. The song concludes with the suggestion of moving forward through the city, leaving behind the snow-covered streets.
