道
折坂悠太 Lyrics

The lyrics to the song "道" by 折坂悠太 describe a journey on a road that is unfamiliar to the singer. The neon lights that illuminate the street are a constant reminder of the time that is ticking away, and the singer is asked where they are by someone on the phone. The response is that they are on a road that seems to never end. Despite the desolate surroundings and lack of anything interesting, the singer presses on.

The second verse describes the singer's feelings of isolation and loneliness. They are carrying both disease and abundance, as represented by a bag of supplies, and the wind doesn't even seem to notice them. The only dance is performed by the unwanted weed, which is the only sign of life in the barren landscape. The chorus then repeats that the road is lonely and empty, but they will continue to travel it.

The third verse brings back the urban environment, with a mosquito coil glowing on the roadside and a sign warning of children. The same question is asked again on the phone, this time inquiring as to whether the singer has any money. The response reveals that even if they did, they wouldn't know where it is. The song ends with another repetition of the chorus, making it clear that the destination is irrelevant when the journey is as aimless as this one.
