Face Down
Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

どうして? 目の前を閉ざして どうする? 暗い部屋にひとり
手を伸ばし 掴もうとしたのは 隠したsos

四六時中 頭を巡る 狂わせてる歯車 lose control
鳴り響く時計の針を 止めてよ 止めてよ

Countdown, countdown 訳も分からず
Hold on, hold on 惹き寄せられる
Secret, secret 君は摩訶不思議 素顔見せないまま escape

(Wow) 次の奇跡は (wow) 予測不可能
(Wow) 鍵が開けば (wow) bye bye bye

迷わず 秘密の裏側を 知りたくて 扉開けたなら
どっかで 見たようなデジャヴが 何度も upside down

真夜中に ざわめく心 近づくほど見えない poker face
ごまかしのイミテーションまでも 消してよ 消してよ

Liar, liar 嘘も誠も
Tell me, tell me 見えなくなるよ
Secret, secret 君は誰なのか? 影も残さずに escape

(Wow) 色をなくした (wow) 孤独な夢に
(Wow) 鍵をかけたら (wow) bye bye bye

Hey 真っ暗な空 掴もうが
It's like a supernova, next to the door

乾き癒すために 更に舞う
闇を受け入れ再び 朝来る
ダキアウ カギガ pump, pump, pump it up

Countdown, countdown 訳も分からず
Hold on, hold on 惹き寄せられる
Secret, secret 君は摩訶不思議 素顔見せないまま escape

Liar, liar 嘘も誠も
Tell me, tell me 見えなくなるよ
Secret, secret 君は誰なのか? 影も残さずに escape

癒えぬ傷跡に 雨が降り注げば 目覚めてく その memory
次のドアの その先へと (bye bye bye bye)





(Wow) 色をなくした (wow) 孤独な夢に
(Wow) 鍵をかけたら (wow) bye bye bye

Overall Meaning

The song "Face Down" by 嵐 (Arashi) expresses the feeling of being trapped in a dark and lonely place, unable to escape. The lyrics speak about the struggle to search out for a way out, and the fear of what lies beyond, spelling out the desperation of being stuck within oneself. The opening lines set the tone, with the singer asking how to move forward, closing his eyes and reaching out in a dark room. The next line describes the effort to find a way out with the SOS being hidden. The lyrics follow through with the metaphor of being caught in gears that are increasingly spinning out of control.


The chorus, which is repeated throughout the song, is an appeal to someone, perhaps oneself, to hold on and avoid losing all hope. The lyrics speak of the enigma of being trapped between the loss of oneself and the fear of the unknown. The bridge is a plea to find a way to escape this darkness and the lies that one might be telling oneself. The last part of the song speaks to the importance of recovery and moving forward.
