Cruel Park
原田知世 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You take me soon behind the door
I don't think
I saw a dream
There is a broute park
You take me soon behind the door
I don't think
I saw a dream
You take me soon behind the door
I don't think
I saw a dream
There is a cruel park
You take me soon behind the door
I don't think
I saw a dream
There is a cruel park
You take me soon behind the door
I don't think
I saw a dream
There is a broute park
You take me soon behind the door
I don't think
I saw a dream
The lyrics to "Cruel Park" by 原田知世 are repetitive and open to interpretation. The artist seems to be describing a place called "cruel park," which the singer is taken to by someone unnamed. The park is described as being "behind the door," suggesting a hidden or secretive location. The singer mentions that they don't think, indicating a sense of confusion or uncertainty. They mention seeing a dream, but the repetition of the lines suggests that it might not be a pleasant or fulfilling dream.
The song could be seen as a reflection on the complexities of life and relationships. The use of the word "cruel" implies a level of pain or hardship associated with the park, and the singer being taken there by someone else suggests a lack of agency or control. The mention of not thinking and seeing a dream could symbolize feeling disconnected and detached from reality, possibly as a result of the experiences in the park.
Overall, the lyrics of "Cruel Park" evoke a sense of mystery, confusion, and perhaps even a certain level of melancholy. The repetitive nature of the verses adds to the dreamlike and introspective atmosphere, leaving room for interpretation and personal meaning.
Line by Line Meaning
There is a cruel park
In this world, there exists a place that is filled with cruelty and heartache
You take me soon behind the door
You guide me to this place, hiding it from plain sight, but I am aware of its existence
I don't think
Despite my knowledge, I try to convince myself that it may not be true
I saw a dream
Yet, deep down, I have already experienced the pain and sadness that this cruel park holds
There is a broute park
Furthermore, there is another place that is rough and unforgiving
You take me soon behind the door
Once again, you lead me towards this harsh place, concealing its true nature
I don't think
Although I may deny it, I am fully aware of what lies beyond that door
I saw a dream
I have already witnessed the suffering and hardship present in this broute park

ひまを
もて遊ばしてるあなた
レエスのパラソル
そっと閉じて
頬にふりそそぐ
十二色の
外は光と風のハーモニー
遊びながら
きれいになるのよ
私だけの秘密
はじめてみつけた
宝ものは
少年みたいな
あなたのこと
恋の道草は
もうやめましょう
帰る想いは
たったひとつ
聞いて
魔法使いの竪琴
ふたり奏でる
愛のシンフォニー
歌いながら
きれいになるのよ
私だけの秘密
優しくあなたに
つつまれたら
少女のわたしと
出会いました
いつでも心は
雨のち晴れ
はつらつ便りを
待っています
