ダメージの詩
海援隊 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
月がふたつ ちぎれて輝く
私の瞳も年をとり
見るものすべてが
にじんでゆがむ
乱視がすすみ
妻がふたりにダブって見える
妹みたいな妻だったけど
陽暮れの街角響く歌声
名もなきその唄
若き人たち夢をみる
スポットライトを憧れ目指して
そんな時代は
僕にもあったが君とは違う
恋することを誰かの真似して
LOVEと飾って唄いはしなかった
浮気がバレた酔いすぎて
間違えたのだ勘違い
その人抱きしめ今夜は帰ると
囁きかけたがそれは妻だった
酔って我が家へ
帰って来たことすっかり忘れてた
妻も立派だ タクシー呼んで
手を振りながら見送ってくれた
ひとり酒場でふと唇が
歌い出すあの唄
あの素晴らしい愛をもう一度
僕らの唄は何処へいったのだろう
悲しい癖だな 星占いで恋愛運が
吉と出てれば妻に隠れて
梅の小枝に強く強く結ぶ
茶髪の娘が踊りながら
テレビで歌っている
あまりの動きの素早さに
見ていて疲れるじっとして歌え
子供がテレビを離れたスキに
チャンネル変えてそっと見詰める
天気予報のお天気お姉さん
スキです普通の人だから
ダメージの詩唄えば切なく
青春は遠く過ぎ去り
我ら中年よ夜明け前の
闇に歌おうダメージの詩
These lyrics paint a picture of a person reflecting on the passage of time and the changing perspective that comes with age. The opening lines describe a night sky with two moons, symbolizing the singer's own eyes growing older and seeing the world in a distorted way. The lyrics then reveal how the singer's vision impairment causes them to mistake their wife for two people, one resembling a sister and the other resembling a father. This suggests a sense of confusion and blurred lines in their relationships.
The lyrics then shift to a city street at sunset, where an unnamed song echoes from a corner. This song represents the dreams and aspirations of young people who long for the spotlight and idealize fame. The singer acknowledges that they had a similar desire in their youth but emphasizes the difference between their approach to love and the imitation of others. Unlike those who adorned love with pretentiousness, the singer claims they did not sing about love but really felt it.
The next verse describes a drunken mistake when the singer, intoxicated, confuses someone with their wife, unaware of their own return home. The wife, understanding the situation, calls a taxi and waves goodbye with a certain dignity. This depiction highlights the resilience and understanding of the singer's partner.
In a lonely bar, the lyrics mention the singer's lips starting to sing a beautiful song that evokes memories of an extraordinary love. However, they question where their own songs have gone, suggesting a lament for lost passion and youthful enthusiasm. The lyrics then comment on an unfortunate habit of relying on horoscopes to determine their love life and hiding their desires from their wife. There is a reference to the tradition of tightly tying a strand of plum branch to ensure a lasting love. This image contrasts with the mention of a young girl with blonde hair dancing and singing on TV, providing a jarring contrast between the singer's nostalgic yearning and the vibrancy of youth.
The final lines call out to fellow middle-aged individuals to sing the "damaged song" in the darkness before dawn, encapsulating a sense of collective nostalgia and melancholy. This phrase suggests that despite the challenges and scars of life, there is solace and catharsis in sharing and expressing one's pain through music.
