Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
悲しい友の声は何を憂う
ありのままの姿を見つめたい
夢や希望にすがる時代は過ぎた
Wow 冷たい風にたなびく flag
愛という名の坂を下って oh yeah
時代を駆ける運命は black
I'm listening to the radio, all by myself
変わりゆく街は 明日なき無情の世界
Surrounded by the stereo, no sound is felt
壊れゆく no, no, no, no, brother
奇跡の地球 yeah
振り返れば誰かが泣いている
鏡の中の瞳が我を憂い
恋する日を待たずに消えてゆく
子供達の歌は何を祈る wow
Wow 人々の群れは憐れな dance
生まれながらに罪を背負って
絶望笑う皮肉な chance
闇を奏でるロックンロールバンド
The pictures in the video, without a name
黄昏が空間に映した異常な未来 uh
A temporary cameo, it's all the same
終わらない no, no, no, no, sister
砂漠の旅
Ah 涙の blues
Oh 嘆きの news
Oh 涙の blues, yeah
Oh 生命の truth
I'm listening to the radio, all by myself
変わりゆく街は 明日なき無情の世界
Surrounded by the stereo, no sound is felt
壊れゆく no, no, no, no, brother
奇跡の地球 yeah
The song, Kiseki no Hoshi by 桑田佳祐 & Mr.Children, begins with powerful and emotive lyrics that capture the heart-wrenching feeling of overwhelming emotion. The lyrics describe how tears cannot be held back, and the voice of a sad friend causes deep concern. It further highlights how we wish to see each other in our true form and how the reliance on dreams and hopes has passed. The song then takes a turn towards more upbeat lyrics, describing a flag waving in the cold wind, as we take a journey down a path named love. However, even though we run through time, our fate is still shrouded in black, and we cannot escape the past that surrounds us like a merry-go-round.
The tone then changes, with the singer listening to the radio entirely alone, and the lyrics express the desolate nature of a cruel world without a tomorrow, where no one can hear our screams. The lyrics describe the singer's growing disillusionment, with a world filled with a broken stereo and a life filled with suffering, with no brother to help. The chorus then repeats itself and includes a reference to the miracle of life, highlighting that through all the darkness that surrounds us, there is still a chance for hope.
