balloon
泉まくら Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ちょっとあくびしてるかなくらいだ
さっきまでの緊張ムダになる
せっかくの覚悟も揺らぎだす
言える言えない、言う言わない
頭ん中消去法 どうしたんだかこの状況
酔い加減次第 様になる余興
飲めや唄えや？ もったいない イヤ イヤ
息止めて見つめて H-A-P-P-Y ラララ
早く唄えなくして おねがい
あの娘の毎日がやけにドラマチックに
見えだしてから急に笑えなくなったの
渋ってる朝に 終わってく夜に
君が「さようなら」と言った
僕が「嫌だ」と言えば簡単な取引さ
気分はどう？押しつけられた新しい日
眩しがる横顔うらやましい
人と居れば必ず一人に気付く
卑屈になる自分横目に見つつ 夢うつつ
鼻の奥に映す思い出もほこりっぽくて
もう要らない
気まぐれ 向こう見ず
知らぬ間にきた傷 数えてまたお昼
ベッドの中 思い出してお腹火照る
あの娘の毎日がやけにドラマチックに
見えだしてから急に笑えなくなったの
焦げるにおいに目が覚めて
飛んでく飛行機 急かされて
歩きだすけど なんだかゆううつで
向こうから聞こえるブランコ軋む音と
ひっかかった風船の行方と
なに線で帰るかも知らない君のことと
あの娘の毎日がやけにドラマチックに
見えだしてから急に笑えなくなったの
The song "Balloon" by 泉まくら talks about the awkwardness that ensues during a dull conversation, and the tension that is created in such situations. The lyrics talk about how even with the bravado to initiate a conversation, moments arise where the situation dampens, and both parties struggle to keep the conversation flowing. The singer dwells on the futility of such moments, saying that it erodes the courage that they had to initiate the conversation in the first place.
The singer of the song attempts to be open but is held back by their fear of what the other person might think or say. The song highlights the challenges faced by people who struggle with communication and social interaction, and the destructive nature of such situations. It ends with the singer feeling overwhelmed, unable to contain their emotions any longer.
Overall, the song is a brutally honest reflection on social anxiety and the pressures of socializing, shedding light on the muddled and complex inner lives of shy people.
