アイソトープ
ACIDMAN Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A Swollen style melts us in silence
We have been stuck at the bottom of time so far
Breathing in, breathing out, talking with the moon
The cell sound is caught let's let it go from here

I'm feeling the sense of being one
I'm feeling the sense of being one
The moment of being connected

The moment of being free

My feelings came here passing through another space
Passing through another time, asking for a resonance
Everything will be one with the space
And the space will be one with everything

A Swollen style melts us in silence
We have been stuck at the bottom of time
Breathing in, breathing out talking with the trees
The air wave is caught let's let it go

I'm feeling the sense of being one
I'm feeling the sense of being one
The moment of being connected
The moment of being free

My feelings came here passing through another space
Passing through another time, asking for a resonance
Everything will be one with the space
And the space will be one with everything

My feelings came here passing through another space
Passing through another time, asking for a resonance
Everything will be one with the space
And the space will be one with everything

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to ACIDMAN's "アイソトープ" (Isotope) convey a sense of connection and unity with the world around us. The first verse describes a "swollen style" that "melts us in silence," suggesting a state of stillness and contemplation. The lines "we have been stuck at the bottom of time so far" and "breathing in, breathing out, talking with the moon" evoke a sense of being grounded in the present moment and connected with nature.

The chorus repeats the lines "I'm feeling the sense of being one" and "the moment of being connected" to emphasize the theme of unity and interconnectedness. The second verse continues the theme of passing through different spaces and times, searching for resonance and becoming one with everything.

The use of the word "isotope" in the title and repeated in the final lines of the song adds an element of scientific specificity to the lyrics. Isotopes are variations of the same element that have a different number of neutrons, and their properties can be used to study the earth and the universe. Perhaps the metaphorical use of "isotope" in the lyrics suggests that our individual experiences and perspectives are unique variations of a larger whole, and that we have the potential to learn and grow from each other's differences.
