風と共に去りぬ
踊ってばかりの国 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have two eyes but I cannot see
I have a heart but I cannot feel anything
Don't give up now, I'm almost there
I got a mouth but it doesn't say

The things I want it to say today, anyway
Don't give up now, I'm almost there
Life's just an ugly mess

The angry souls in such distress

Still, there is a time when moments can be sweet
And it feels like someone's smiling down on me
Sometimes it feels like I'm all alone
Most of the time, actually, I am alone

That's alright
Don't give up now, I'm almost there
If I had a million bucks it wouldn't matter
'Cause my soul's always climbing a ladder

Oh, I know
Don't give up now, I'm almost there
Life's just an ugly mess
The angry souls in such distress

Still, there is a time when moments can be sweet

And it feels like someone's smiling down on me
Alright

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 踊ってばかりの国's song 風と共に去りぬ are filled with deep emotions of loneliness and despair, and it talks about the struggles of trying to express oneself in a world that seems apathetic. The opening lyrics, "Have two eyes but I cannot see, I have a heart but I cannot feel anything" can be interpreted as the artist feeling numb, and unable to express themselves the way they want to. They then go on to say that although they have a mouth, it doesn't say the things they want it to say, and they feel like they are all alone most of the time.

Despite these feelings of loneliness and isolation, the artist urges themselves to "not give up now, I'm almost there." It's almost as if they're willing themselves to keep fighting, even if everything around them seems bleak. The line "Life's just an ugly mess, the angry souls in such distress" echoes the sentiment of the world being filled with strife and misery, but there are still moments of sweetness and lightness that make the struggle worth it. When the artist sings "it feels like someone's smiling down on me," it gives a glimmer of hope that perhaps things can get better.

Overall, the song is an emotional journey that expresses the pain and loneliness that comes with the human experience but also inspires hope that things won't always be that way.
