くせのうた
星野源 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
昨日苛立ち汗かいた その話を聴きたいな
同じような 顔をしてる
同じような 背や声がある
知りたいと思うには
全部違うと知ることだ
思いだして眠れずに 夜を明かした日のことも
同じような 記憶がある
同じような 日々を生きている
寂しいと叫ぶには
僕はあまりにくだらない
悪いことは重なるなあ 苦しい日々は続くのだ
赤い夕日が照らすのは ビルと日々の陰だけさ
覚えきれぬ言葉より
抱えきれぬ教科書より
知りたいと思うこと
謎を解くのだ 夜明けまで
君の癖はなんですか?
In "くせのうた" by 星野源 (Hoshino Gen), the lyrics delve into the desire to understand someone's idiosyncrasies and the inner turmoil that arises from being drawn to them. The singer expresses a longing to know more about the person's quirks but struggles with their own feelings of attraction. They mention having been frustrated and sweating due to the intensity of their curiosity, expressing a desire to hear the person talk about their experiences from the previous day.
The song talks about having similarities in appearance, height, and voice, yet the singer realizes that in order to truly understand and know the person, they must acknowledge the individuality and uniqueness that lies within them. Despite wanting to hear dark stories, the singer wonders if it is appropriate to listen to them while laughing. They also mention a sleepless night spent reminiscing about the day they spent together, hinting at a deeper connection and desire to understand more about the person.
The lyrics acknowledge the repetition and monotony of everyday life, highlighting their shared memories and mundane existence. However, the singer hesitates to proclaim their loneliness, feeling that their own complaints would be trivial compared to the depth and complexities of the person they are interested in. The song touches upon the theme of longing for connection and understanding amidst the struggles and pain of life.
Overall, "くせのうた" explores the complexity of human relationships, the desire to know someone deeply, and the hesitation and self-doubt that can arise in the pursuit of understanding another person's idiosyncrasies.

｢君の癖を知りたいが ひかれそうで悩むのだ｣の歌詞の｢ひかれそう｣には｢引かれる｣｢惹かれる｣どちらの意味もある、と仰っていて、深ぇ…となった。
