残存エレジー
田所あずさ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

クダン・ナイ・ナイ
ツマン・ナイ・ナイ

言いたい言えない
愛想笑いのファッションドール
序列を乱せば
だれも優秀なエキストラ
泣く泣く嘆くなんて

おやめなさい
尾ひれを翻して
群れをなす魚より
やぶれかぶれはぐれ
大体悩んで抗うだけ
時間の無駄ってもんでしょ
見渡す世間は虚像(うそ)ばかり
散々同じような顔して
しまいに欺くのよ
ユラユラよどんだ波の隙間を
泳ぐ淡々たんと
ように虎視耽々と
お選びなさいグッド／バッド?

個性(ちがい)を咎める
匿名希望のモンスター
進むも逃げるも
袋小路のラビリンス
昔は良かったなんて
およしなさい
悲劇も悪くないわ
気まぐれ猫のように
のらりくらりひらり
大概足掻いて落ち込むだけ
バカを見るってもんでしょ
世間はあわれな他人(ひと)だかり
幸い息をひそめながら
華麗にいただくのよ
くすりと視線に爪を隠して
ねらう淡々たんと
ように虎視耽々と
白黒つけてグッド／バッド
クダン・ナイ・ナイ
ツマン・ナイ・ナイ

大体悩んで抗うだけ
時間の無駄ってもんでしょ
見渡す世間は虚像(うそ)ばかり
散々同じような顔して
しまいに欺くのよ
ユラユラよどんだ波の隙間を
泳ぐ淡々たんと
ように虎視耽々と
お選びなさいグッド／バッド?
キニ・シナイ・ナイ
キミ・シダイ・ダイ
あくせく転んで行きましょう

四苦八苦望んで生きましょう
それじゃ明日もグッドラック

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "残存エレジー" by 田所あずさ explores themes of frustration, conformity, and the struggle to express oneself authentically in society. The opening lines, "クダン・ナイ・ナイツマン・ナイ・ナイ" can be interpreted as feeling helpless and tired of following societal norms and expectations. The following lines, "言いたい言えない愛想笑いのファッションドール" convey the frustration of wanting to express oneself honestly but feeling trapped behind a facade of forced smiles and artificial behavior, akin to a fashion doll.

The lyrics also touch upon the idea of conformity and how society discourages individuality. Lines like "個性(ちがい)を咎める匿名希望のモンスター" suggest that those who try to break away from the norm or express their uniqueness are often criticized or ostracized, creating a sense of being lost in a labyrinth. The singer reflects on the past, longing for a time when things were better, but ultimately accepts that tragedies and hardships are also a part of life, comparing herself to a whimsical cat that is laid-back and carefree.

The song's lyrics emphasize the idea that society is filled with illusions and appearances, with lines such as "見渡す世間は虚像(うそ)ばかり" and "世間はあわれな他人(ひと)だかり." Despite this, the singer suggests that one can navigate through the waves of uncertainty and deception by maintaining a cool and calm outlook, observing others intently and making choices between good and bad.

Overall, "残存エレジー" captures the frustration of feeling trapped by societal expectations, the desire to break free and express oneself authentically, and the acceptance that life's hardships and illusions are unavoidable.
