昨日と今日
小沢健二 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
夕暮れに男が1人目を覚まし
鏡に向かい眉を撫でつけては
俺の未来をきっと変えてくれと
日ごとつぶやくまま 街へ深く深く深く沈みこんでゆく
扇風機の回る暑いバー・カウンター
口先の男が指を開き見る
俺の未来をきっと変えてくれと
夜ごと祈るままに 街で深く深く深く眠りこんでゆく
昨日と今日がくっついてゆく世界で
水を飲み渇きだけを癒やせ
塩を舐め 唇 をうるおせ
Turutu tu tutu tururururu ruru
Turutu tu tutu tururururu ruru
Turutu tu tutu tururururu ruru
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
建物を追いかけ急ぐ 救急車
日の出を待つ俺は耳を澄ましている
言葉を 失い薄ら笑いさえ
ぎこちないだけの皮肉屋たちが
行く先も無いまま 街で深く深く深く溺れ死んでゆく
Hey
昨日と今日がくっついてゆく世界で
水を飲み渇きだけを癒やせ
塩を舐め 唇 をうるおせ
昨日と今日がくっついてゆく世界で
熱はただ散っていく夜の中へ
俺はただ待っているラジオを切って
Turutu tu tutu tururururu ruru
Turutu tu tutu tururururu ruru
Turutu tu tutu tururururu ruru
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
The lyrics to 小沢健二's song "昨日と今日" depict a sense of longing and introspection. The opening lines describe a man waking up alone, facing his reflection in the mirror, and pleading for his future to be changed. The following lines express the man's deep immersion into the city, as he sinks deeper and deeper while muttering his desires. The lyrics paint a picture of someone lost and searching for meaning in their life.
Continuing in the next verse, the scene shifts to a hot bar with a rotating fan. The man observes the aimless wanderings of souls and continues to pray for his future every night as he falls into a deep slumber amidst the city. The repetition of sinking deeper and deeper highlights the singer's inability to escape his circumstances.
The chorus emphasizes the merging of yesterday and today in the world, urging the need for the singer to quench his thirst and heal his pain. The mention of licking salt to moisten the lips adds a poetic touch to the lyrics. The use of onomatopoeic elements like "Turutu tu tutu tururururu" and "Ah ah ah ah ah" adds a melodic and rhythmic quality to the song.
The final verse describes the singer chasing after an ambulance, waiting for the sunrise while listening intently. The loss of words and the faint smile suggests a sense of resignation. The lyrics also mention sarcastic individuals who have no destination in the city and ultimately drown in it. The outro repeats the chorus, with the singer waiting, cutting off the radio, as the heat dissipates into the night.
Overall, the lyrics of "昨日と今日" delve into themes of longing, searching for meaning, and the blend of past and present in an individual's life. The depiction of the city as a metaphorical space where one can sink or drown adds a sense of melancholy and introspection.
