Mind Game
松原みき Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

ほおづえつけば 雨は銀色の踊り子ね
Dancing and dancing and dancing
舗道に咲いた傘のパレードを飛びこえて
Falling and falling and falling
眠いまぶたこすり シャツに着がえる
今日は Saturday
ミルクをわかす足元 子猫がじゃれついて
Dancing and dancing and dancing

焼きたてオムレツの匂いが 広がる部屋を
Jumping and jumping and jumping
ほら低いあの空 おまえを抱いて 今日は
のぼれそう HA HA

私ひとりのこんな時間をあのひとは知らない
次から次へ 変わる心が 私は好きなの
束ねた髪を ほどいて飛び出したいような

Feeling just feeling just feeling
水彩絵の具の街へ ベルベットの靴で
Flying just flying just flying
ほら いつかとぎれた 夢の続きに
めぐり逢えるまで HA HA

遊びつかれた 子供みたいに眠るのはまだ先
そうよ 心はひとつじゃないわ 私は知ってる

私ひとりのこんな時間をあのひとは知らない
次から次へ変わる心が私は好きなの




私ひとりのこんな時間をあのひとは知らない
次から次へ変わる心が私は好きなの

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song "Mind Game" by 松原みき describe the peaceful yet abstract world where the singer of the song exists. The first line, "ほおづえつけば 雨は銀色の踊り子ね" roughly translates to "resting my chin on my hands, the rain becomes a silver dancer". The following line, "舗道に咲いた傘のパレードを飛びこえて" can be interpreted as the singer admiring the beauty of the umbrellas planted in the pavement, and metaphorically jumping over them. The song then moves on to describe the singer's activities on a Saturday. She changes into a fresh shirt, boils some milk, and plays with a kitten.


As the song progresses, the singer imagines herself jumping around her room while a freshly baked omelette exhales a tempting aroma. She then imagines herself flying away with her velvet shoes to a city of watercolor paints. Here, she hopes to complete a dream that has been broken multiple times. The singer reflects on the fact that she enjoys having a changing heart and a changeable personality, even if nobody knows her in this peaceful world.


The chorus repeats her desire to enjoy her own personal time while not worrying about anybody else's opinions. She likes the fact that her heart can change with every passing moment, and she appreciates the fact that she can dream of the impossible. The ending of the song repeats this sentiment, with the singer once again affirming that she loves having a changeable heart and personality.
