Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hikari wa yami ni nitete mata aisarete
Tashikameatta yume no hazama de
sore wa tashika ni atta
sore wa genshi no tabi datta
Hitotsu ga subete wo tsutsunde subete ga hitotsu tsutsunde
sou START to END so slow and so fast
Let's tune into the sound of music kotoba, iro, koete
Let's tune into the sound of music toward the millennium
Saisho, hoshi wa kaze ni nite ai wo shiru
Omoidashiteiru sono kotae ni
aru ka? nai ka? soredake
tada soredake no START to END so
Let's tune in to the sound of music kotoba, iro, koete
Let's tune in to the sound of music toward the millennium
Let's tune in to the sound of music toward the millennium
Let's tune in to the sound of music kotoba, iro, koete
Let's tune in to the sound of music toward the millennium
Let's tune in to the sound of music ikutsumo afurete
Let's tune in to the sound of music toward the millennium
Let's tune in to the sound of music toward the millennium
The lyrics to ACIDMAN's song 千年歩行 (Sennen Hokou) speak to the passage of time and the cyclical nature of life. The opening lines, "Jikan wa tokete mawaru hoshi itsumo doori hikari wa yami ni nitete mata aisarete" (Time melts and the stars revolve as usual, light hides in darkness and is loved again) suggest that no matter how much time passes, certain things remain constant. The lyrics then move into a reflection of past dreams and the uncertainty of whether they have come to fruition or not, with "Tashikameatta yume no hazama de sore wa tashika ni atta sore wa genshi no tabi datta" (In the chasm of confirmed dreams, it was definitely there, it was a journey of primitive forces). The repetition of "START to END so slow and so fast" emphasizes the speed at which life passes, simultaneously feeling both slow and fast.
The chorus, "Let's tune into the sound of music kotoba, iro, koete Let's tune into the sound of music toward the millennium" suggests that the answer to the passage of time and uncertainty lies in music. The verses are reflective and nostalgic, while the chorus moves towards a hopeful and forward-looking attitude. The final lines, "Let's tune in to the sound of music toward the millennium" suggest that music is a constant force that will continue to guide us into the future.
Overall, the lyrics to 千年歩行 speak to the universal human experience of time passing and the cyclical nature of life, while emphasizing the power of music to bring us through uncertainty and towards a hopeful future.
