凛として時雨 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
青く見えてたはずのもの 人 夢 君 半透明 奇跡的
今 半透明 この意味には 君のために 気付けない
紫色を刺して浮遊を手に入れたくて
鮮やかな色は君が見せた幻 illusion is mine
幻に溺れて 奇跡的な何かを見た illusion is mine
鮮やかな色は君に見せた幻 illusion is mine
今目を開ければ奇跡的な幻 illusion is mine
鮮やかな色は君と見てた幻 illusion is mine
記憶が消えたら壊れるかな
まだ目を開けれずこぼれ落ちる幻 illusion is mine
奇跡が起きたら壊れるかな
The lyrics of 凛として時雨's song "illusion is mine" describe a sense of being lost and drowning in a translucent water, while things that seemed to be clear turn out to be elusive and elusive like a dream. The song reflects a sense of the singer's disillusionment with the world around him or her, and the struggle to understand the meaning of their existence. The chorus speaks of how the vivid colors that he or she saw were just illusions, a dream that can easily slip away once the eyes are closed.
The lyrics are evocative and poetic, suggesting a deep sense of artistic yearning and creating a powerful, ethereal atmosphere. It seems like the words suggest a frustration with society's obsession with the superficial, and the need for something more meaningful and transcendent. The song also seems to suggest a kind of spiritual awakening or enlightenment, and the struggle to reconcile reality with the imagination.
Overall, "illusion is mine" can be interpreted as a powerful statement about the importance of art and creativity as a means of transcending the mundane and celebrating the beauty of the world around us. It also reflects a sense of disillusionment with the world and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life.

水の流れの緩急や滴のぽたぽた落ちるような音を感じる。無機質なものの表現力が本当凄すぎる…
学生の頃からずっと好きな曲。
@user-bz4gi3gn7n

凛として時雨のなかで一番好きな曲
@nekonakano2069
いい歌は何年経っても色あせないな
@user-ub6pw8gq7y
当時、深夜にテレビをつけたら音楽ランキング番組が映りそのまま垂れ流ししてたら、めちゃくちゃカッコいいサビが流れてきて一気にテレビに釘付けになった。
直ぐiモードでレコ直を開いて
凛として時雨を調べてこの曲だけダウンロードして通学時間何回もリピートして登校した。
僕にとって初めて凛として時雨を知った曲でバンドに興味を持つキッカケにもなった曲で今でも色褪せない大好きな曲です。
@user-kw6nk8wl9i
大学の時、一時期この曲めちゃくちゃヘビロテしてた。今聴いても変わらず時雨の魅力に狂える名曲…345の浮遊感のある声大好きだー
ラスサビでボーカル入れ替わるところも最高すぎて…
