Ocean Side
菊池桃子 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
本にはさんだチケット 南風を誘う
(Have a nice) 口笛 (Your mind) ときめくメロディ
去年よく 夕闇の中(Twilight time)
「Aqua City」聴きながらDriving (Feel so eyes)
友達と週末 海へ行くあなたを
(A few to the time) 淋しく (All the time) ひとりでみてた
Fly me to the blue 夏のフレーム 心までOcean Side
ホライズン創るすき間に(Shining eyes)
姿消す あなたはSunset(Still believe)
引いてゆく波さえ また入江に帰る
(All the time) 渚で (Your Mind) 静かに待つわ
白いChair 引き寄せた時 私までOcean Side
今 気づいたの 言葉じゃなくて 愛のemotion
(Fly me to the blue) (Fly me to the blue)
The lyrics of 菊池桃子's song Ocean Side convey a sense of freedom and escapism. The singer seems to be longing for a carefree and adventurous life, away from the constraints of everyday reality. The opening lines describe a silver-winged reflection in the singer's heart, giving the impression of a dream or a desire. The ticket to "Aqua City" that has been sandwiched in a book is an invitation to indulge in the pleasures of the south wind. The singer remembers driving to the sound of "Aqua City" while watching the twilight time last year, evoking a sense of nostalgia and longing for the past. The melody of the song itself is enough to make the singer's heart flutter with excitement.
The lyrics also speak of the singer's loneliness, contrasting with the dreamy and adventurous imagery. While watching friends head to the beach on the weekends, the singer is left behind, feeling lonely and longing for companionship. However, the imagery of the ocean and the blue frame of summer create a sense of belonging and freedom that is almost hypnotic. The singer imagines walking on the clouds and disappearing into the sunset, escaping into a world of pure emotion and feeling. The closing lines reinforce this sense of belonging and fulfillment, as the singer is drawn to the ocean's edge by a white chair, experiencing the emotion of love in a way that transcends words.
