冒険者たち
楠瀬誠志郎 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

地下鉄駅壁に貼った海の写真に
会社帰り君は立ち止まる
目を細めて遙かな島思い描けば
胸の中を風が吹き抜ける
都会(まち)のうず漂ってる
心優しき男達よ今
風をうけて高く上がれ
誰にもある心の翼

今こそ気付く時さ
スコールさえこえてゆくよ
光る波がどこまでも続く
Island cruise
朝の道で時計ばかりながめる癖
知らず知らずくり返す君よ
人にまみれ忘れ去った子供の夢
笑顔さえもいつかつくっている
すれ違う人の中に永遠の愛を
見すごさぬ為
風をうけて高く上がれ
君のつばさ愛する人と
長い旅のコンパスさ
青い空と波のリズム
確かに今愛を感じてる
Island cruise

風をうけて高く上がれ
誰にもある心の翼
今こそ気付く時さ
スコールさえこえてゆくよ

光る波がどこまでも続く
Island cruise

Overall Meaning

The song "冒険者たち" is a reflection on the monotony and stress of city life and a call to embrace adventure and freedom. The opening verse describes a scene where the singer is pausing to gaze at a photo of the sea on a subway station wall, imagining a far-off island and feeling the wind blowing through their heart. The "heart" is a recurring symbol in the song, representing the innermost desires and dreams that have been suppressed or forgotten. As the song progresses, the singer encourages the "gentle-hearted men" of the city to break free from their daily routines and soar high with their own "heart's wings." They should not be afraid of the challenges and storms that might come their way, as the shining waves of the ocean will continue endlessly and guide them through their "island cruise."

The second verse focuses on the theme of nostalgia and yearning for something more. The singer observes a person who has developed a habit of staring at their wristwatch on their daily commute, unconsciously repeating their mundane routine. But deep down, they are still holding onto their childhood dreams and creating new smiles for themselves and others. The song encourages the listener to not lose sight of their inner child and to keep searching for "eternal love" within the busy crowd. The chorus repeats the call to "fly high" and discover their own "heart's compass," to feel the love and freedom that are present in the world around them.
