Romero
浅井健一 Lyrics

These lyrics depict a small town in the Mexican desert, where there is a worn-out and dry Camel Shot Bar. The bar is notable for having a valuable refrigerator. The mention of Oscar Wilde and Babyface Funny Bee adds a touch of eccentricity to the scene. The person described in the song is always seen dragging a leather coat that is excessively long. The mention of Romero suggests a call for dancing and enjoying life, even if it is done slowly and barefoot during the pleasant twilight hours. The lyrics describe a cool breeze passing through the town as coyotes begin to wander the streets.

The lyrics go on to express that as long as there is a little electricity, people are content with using it solely to keep things cold. The valuable refrigerator mentioned earlier is vital in this context. It also creates an atmosphere where hard-working individuals, who have worked up a sweat, can find respite from the heat. Additionally, there is a beautiful woman sitting at the counter and a flashy hat hanging on the wall, alluding to unique characters and a casual ambiance. The mention of a spider hiding in the cracks creates an eerie and mysterious element to the scene.

The song then calls on Romero to share stories of burning love. It evokes the image of countless stars illuminating the night sky and describes a modern soul wandering the wilderness. The repetition of the line "there is a valuable refrigerator" suggests the significance of this appliance in the context of the song. It is also interesting to note the mention of a refrigerator with the name of "the universe," which adds a metaphorical twist to the lyrics. It emphasizes the importance of preserving and keeping precious things close, even in vast, seemingly infinite spaces.
