Remote Controller
椎名林檎 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
こんなにも可愛らしい帽子すら
床に散らばって居る
一人で呟く「汚いな」
そんなにも大変な顔で見ないでよ
こんなにもやり切れない気持ちすら
窓に貼りついて居る
あたしのリモコンは何処?
あの日のカツァリスをいま
あたしはひたすらに只
求め続けるのに
どんなにも考えたって見つからない
こんなにもリフレインがしつこくも
耳を支配したがる
一人で呟く「騒さいな」
あたしのリモコンは何処?
アコギのイントロをいま
あたしはひたすらに只
求め続けるのに
あたしのリモコンは何処?
アコギのイントロをいま
あたしはひたすらに只
求め続けるのに
The lyrics to "Remote Controller" by Shiina Ringo convey a sense of disarray and frustration. The opening lines describe clothes and accessories scattered on the floor, with the singer muttering to themselves about the mess. The repetition of the phrase "dirty" expresses a feeling of dissatisfaction with the chaotic state of things.
The second verse pleads for others not to look at the singer with such difficulty, as they themselves feel overwhelmed and unable to cope. The image of being stuck to the window implies a sense of longing for something outside of their current situation. The singer continues to mutter to themselves, this time expressing a sense of danger.
The chorus introduces the central metaphor of a remote controller. The singer wonders where their remote controller is, referring to a past experience with a cassette tape, which they continue to desperately yearn for. Despite their efforts to search and think, they cannot find it. The refrain, which is persistently repetitive, dominates their thoughts, echoing in their ears. The singer laments the noise and chaos caused by these thoughts.
Overall, the lyrics of "Remote Controller" portray a sense of displacement, longing, and frustration. The scattered objects and the search for the remote controller serve as symbols for the singer's inner turmoil and their yearning for something that they seemingly cannot find.
