リモコン持ったら速やかに
フルカラーのまたたきが
ブラウン管からあふれだす
チャンネルはそのままに
一旦つけたらそのままに
水曜の退屈を
伝えたい言葉は I LOVE YOU
口をついて出る I WANT YOU
愛の言葉は I LOVE YOU
きみに届けたい I NEED YOU
チャンネルをテレ東に
ダンスチューンは緩やかに
オーディオはステレオに
結婚するなら六月に
あいつきっと爽やかに
レモンを齧って爽やかに
プロポーズ決めたくて
気の利くセリフを探してる
伝えたい言葉は I LOVE YOU
口をついて出る I WANT YOU
愛の言葉は I LOVE YOU
きみに届けたい I NEED YOU
夢見がちな午後の I LOVE YOU
ふいに沸いて出る I WANT YOU
きみに届けたい I LOVE YOU
きみに伝えたい I NEED YOU
街には午後から波浪警報
各局揃って緊急速報
かたや淡々と再放送
キミとよく観たあのアニメーション
混迷する与党 野党
横目にお昼のロードショウ
過剰な抑揚アフレコ
ツボをおさえたB級アクション
スターの素性はオフレコ
都市は伝説 オカルト カルト
やりすぎないチープなセット
入ると落ち着くエアポケット
他局は無難にクイズショウ
司会は多めに抜いてそう
まさに真骨頂 アイデア上等
集まる特殊なチャンピオン
合言葉は I LOVE YOU
合言葉は I LOVE YOU
合言葉は I LOVE YOU
届けたい I NEED YOU
合言葉は I LOVE YOU
届けたい I NEED YOU
These lyrics are from the song "QLOTAS" by 相対性理論 (Sotaisei Riron). The song is a nostalgic reflection on the influence of television and the power of words in expressing love and longing.
The first verse talks about changing the channel to a local television station (テレ東, short for Tokyo Metropolitan Television) and the immediate flood of vibrant colors from the cathode ray tube. It portrays the act of turning on the television as a way to fill the boredom of a Wednesday, emphasizing the impact that TV has on our lives. The desire to express love is conveyed through the repetitive lines "I LOVE YOU," "I WANT YOU," and "I NEED YOU," which signify the longing to communicate these feelings to someone special.
The second verse depicts a scene of proposing marriage in a light-hearted way, with the mention of someone happily biting into a lemon and looking for clever phrases to make the proposal memorable. The emotions expressed are again centered around love and the urge to convey it to the person being addressed.
The last part of the lyrics introduces a more chaotic atmosphere, referencing political parties, emergency reports, re-runs, anime, and even B-movie action flicks. It changes the focus from personal relationships to the broader societal context, commenting on the confusion and excesses in the media landscape. Despite the chaos, the line "I LOVE YOU, I NEED YOU" repeats, suggesting that love and the need for connection remain the constants amidst the noise.
Overall, "QLOTAS" reflects on the impact of television on our lives, the desire to express love, and the chaos that sometimes surrounds us in our media-saturated world.
