大橋卓弥 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
まだ 寝ぼけまなこ
外は雨が降っている
何もしたくない
このまま寝ていたいけど
重い体無理やり起こす
テレビをつけソファーに座って
まずいタバコに火をつける
今日もまた始まる
このままどこか遠いところへ
何も言わず姿消しても
しばらく僕を探す振りして
そのうち僕を忘れていく
きっとそんなもの 冷たいこの世界
ねぇ 僕のことなど
たいした興味もないんだろう
馬鹿じゃないさ
それくらい解っている
どこもかしこも
キレイごとばっかりだ
また うわべばかり 嫌気がさす
仲間さえ信用できなくて
すべてがニセモノに見えて
いつの間にか僕は
孤独に染まっていく
例えば僕が声を無くして
涙にくれていたとしても
同じ涙を流す振りして
そのうち僕を忘れていく
だってそうだろう
このままどこか遠いところへ
何も言わず姿消しても
しばらく僕を探す振りして
そのうち僕を忘れていく
きっとそんなもの 冷たいこの世界
でも ここが 僕のいる世界
The song "冷たい世界" (Cold World) by 大橋卓弥 portrays a sense of isolation and detachment from the world. The lyrics describe a gloomy room with the clock showing past 2 PM and the singer still feeling groggy and not wanting to do anything. The rain outside adds to the melancholic atmosphere. The singer expresses a desire to stay in bed, but forces themselves up, lights a cigarette, and turns on the TV. This sets the tone for their mundane and unchanging daily life.
The lyrics hint at a longing to escape this cold world without saying a word or leaving a trace. The singer suspects that even if they were to disappear without explanation, no one would bother to search for them. They have come to realize that in this harsh world, their existence holds little significance. The lyrics convey a deep understanding of the superficiality and hypocrisy that surrounds them. The singer feels disillusioned, unable to trust even their acquaintances, and sees everything as fake.
The song touches on the potential loss of the singer's voice and the vulnerability that comes with it. Even if they were to break down in tears, pretending to shed the same tears as others, they anticipate being eventually forgotten. Despite this, the singer acknowledges that this cold world is their own reality, perhaps implying that they have accepted their circumstances and have resigned themselves to their isolation.
