9GOATS BLACK OUT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sorezore no omoide ga warai au
Marude raimei
Saigo no yoru hajikeru Sosogu otto
Sorezore no omoide ga au warai
Marude raimei
Shiawase datta to omowasete
Hana ni idakarete nemutte
Trend de yowasete
Shiawase to omowasete Datta
Hana's idakarete nemutte
Tenohira no nukumori
Moeru you na yoake
Tenohira no nukumori
Moeru you that Yoake
The lyrics of the song “Reminisce” by 9GOATS BLACK OUT comprise two verses that mirror each other. The song talks about the last night, when memories surge like exploding fireworks – each person’s memories intertwine with each other just like lightning strikes. The chorus talks about how their past was revealed as lies to weaken them. They still want to think that they were happy, they are embraced by flowers, and they sleep, burying the past in warm hands of comfort.
The lyrics, though simple, are very poetic and emotive. They capture the bittersweet feeling of memories that can be both beautiful and painful. The imagery of lightning strikes and exploding fireworks help to give a sense of chaos and passion to the memories. The song also addresses the themes of deception, disillusionment, and longing, as well as the human desire to find peace and solace.
