Phoenix
1986 OMEGA TRIBE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

白く霧に煙る街
にじむシグナル時を止める
急に二人で逢えよと
あいつの声が電話してきた

そのわけも言わずにただ
伝えてくれと
君のバースディ気にしていた

いつも三人は
一緒に連れ立って
君の知らぬうち二人で愛してた

Last summer 真昼の渚で
君の視線を捕まえたね
少し困ったしぐさで
僕の誘いにうなずいたのさ

あいつだけ遅れてきた
最初の夜に
好きだとは言えずにいた

君を口説くため
二人で競い合い
そして 友達の約束をしていた

時を戻してどこかへ連れ去りたい
君は目を伏せ答えにまつげ濡らす

白い霧の街 愛の罪を隠す
きっと君だけが大人になるときさ





君は光に輝く自由なフェニックス
なぜかあいつの優しさ胸にしみる

Overall Meaning

The song "Phoenix" by Omega Tribe is a melancholic tale of lost love and the wistful longing for the past. The lyrics describe a city that is shrouded in a white mist, with signals that seem to be frozen in time. The singer receives a call from someone asking to meet up suddenly, but without any explanation. The caller tells the singer about their concern for their birthday. It is revealed that the three friends used to be inseparable and that two of them were secretly in love with each other, unknown to the third friend.


The story twists back to the previous summer, where the singer and the love interest met on a beach. They shared a moment, but the third friend arrived later, and nothing was said about the love between the two. The singer tries to win the love of his interest, but they made a promise to remain friends, and time passed by while they remained in love but were apart. The singer longs to go back and be with their love, but they know it's impossible, and they must move on. The city and its white mist seem to hide the sin of love, and the singer knows that their love is gone and that only they will grow up and become an adult.


The song's lyrics are evocative and stir emotions of nostalgia and regret in the listener. It is a melancholic anthem, set to a beautiful melody, and sung with great passion. The song's story is a relatable tale of lost love and a longing for the past and is sung with sincerity and depth.
