ローリングストーン
木村拓哉 Lyrics

These lyrics belong to the song "Rōringusutōn" (Rolling Stone) by Kimura Takuya. The song reflects on the uncertainties and fleeting nature of life. The opening lines describe a dark room where the sound of a rusty arpeggio echoes. The singer questions whether he truly lived through another day. Beyond the window lies another world, like a mirage, where the lights from night flights blur and merge. The weary protagonist contemplates resting his tired body and wonders if it is okay to sleep for just a little while.

The chorus expresses the notion that nothing in life is certain, emphasizing the inherent uncertainty in everything. The melted ice murmurs "good night" inside a glass. The imagery of a rolling stone is introduced, symbolizing the transient nature of life and the lack of certainty in any aspect of it.

In the second verse, the lyrics mention the smoky sage in the wind and how the singer becomes aware of something within the unnamed cries deep down, where the smile from that day trembles. The singer reflects on how they have been in this place for some time, their memories becoming hazy even regarding the endings of movies they once watched.

The second chorus suggests that no one walks the path of life alone, for even one's self is not entirely their own. The singer decides to go to someone under the pretext of the unusually good weather. Once again, the rolling stone metaphor is used.

The song concludes by repeating the chorus, emphasizing the repeated notion that nothing is certain, not even the certainty of uncertainty itself. The closing lines reflect the opening, with the rusty arpeggio resonating in the dark room as the singer questions if they truly lived through the day.
