スタンダード・ナンバー
南佳孝 Lyrics

The lyrics to 南佳孝's song スタンダード・ナンバー reflect on the complexities of love and relationships. The song begins by describing time passing quietly, crossing the heart. The singer longs for someone to talk to, after a brief and insignificant kiss, they turn off the headlights and see the moon sleeping like a cat. The singer admits to thinking about the person they love without expressing it, finding pleasure in the feeling of being hurt. They also berate themselves for being foolish to cry and shrug their shoulders, but acknowledge that they are becoming serious about their feelings.

The second verse advises not to get too involved, as they are reminded of their disarrayed rhythm and eyes when they see the person they love. They open the window slightly and only the smell of the sea flows in. The singer watches the person they love walking alone towards the sea while being inside a car. They express that they don't fully understand love, but they enjoy the feeling of their heart leaning towards them. They laugh instead of being cried at, forgetting to persuade them, and embodying the tenderness of a young man.

Overall, the lyrics portray a sense of longing, confusion, and a willingness to embrace the complexities of love, even if it means getting hurt.
