ドッグイヤー
レミオロメン Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

ガラスに透けた朝日は夢虚ろ
支度も程々ドアは世界と繋がった
低い雲の筋ヘリコプターの音
いくつになっても
探してしまうものなんです
割と僕は元気です
日光浴び寝そうです
変わったことと言えば

天気予報を見るくらい
締め切り夏風邪君を道連れに
終えたら旅行でも行ってみましょう
逆風台風君は怒るかな?
的外れなスケジュール
何かがあるって
その中じゃ分からない
なくしてしまったら
それは淋しいものだから
時の流れは早くて
忙しなく生きています
気付いたことと言えば
本当の青空を見ていない事
酔い止め寝不足君を道連れに
過ぎたら旅行でも行ってみましょう
今度は大丈夫心配ないから
旅雑誌のドッグイヤー

青空風まね君を道連れに
晴れたら旅行でも行ってみましょう
瞬きはなうた気の赴くまま
虹の橋を渡ろうぜ

今度は大丈夫心配ないから
旅雑誌のドッグイヤー

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of レミオロメン's song ドッグイヤー (Dogu Iya) talks about the desire to escape from the mundane aspects of life and embark on a journey. The song begins by painting a picture of a hazy morning, where the sun's rays shine through the glass and create a dream-like atmosphere. The singer mentions their moderate preparations for the day, feeling a connection with the outside world as they open the door. The sound of helicopters flying in the low clouds passes by, evoking a sense of curiosity and longing.

The lyrics convey a search for something meaningful, no matter how old one becomes. The singer reveals that they are relatively fine, basking in sunlight and feeling like they could fall asleep. The only unusual thing they do is checking the weather forecast, hinting at a desire for a change of scenery and escaping responsibilities. The mention of deadlines and summer colds, accompanied by the suggestion of taking a trip once everything is finished, adds a sense of adventure and possibility.

The rapid passage of time and the busy nature of life become apparent to the singer, as they realize they haven't truly experienced the beauty of a clear blue sky. The mention of taking sleeping pills to fight off exhaustion and inviting sleep-deprived friends along on the journey suggests a need for companionship and shared experiences. The lyrics conclude with the idea of embracing the unknown and crossing the bridge of a rainbow, assuring the listener that everything will be okay.
