ACIDMAN Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

最初に気付いたのは
ある坂の上だった
薄く靄がかった街の息が止まり
無情に流れる流れは妙に早く
真ん中でひどく震えて腕を切る
ぼんやりと眼がくらみ
ぼんやり笑みを浮かべる
霞みゆく空

その手に掴んでる淡く弱く揺れる音
誰もが一つだけ強く強く守るもの
染まりそよぐ空の中
アレグロの鐘は響く
風は音となり弾け
水は気を仰ぎ揺らぐ
その音は輝いて形など切り裂いて
いつか先を照らすように
力強く照らすように
静かに流れるあなたの祈りは、
最初からつまり気付いていたんだ

錆出すこの音
未だ止まぬレクイエム
震えてる暇など
無いくらい判るだろう
立ち止まると勝てぬだろう
勝ち誇ると果てるだろう
アレグロの鐘は響く
強く強く鳴り響く
その音は輝いて形など切り裂いて
いつか先を照らすように
力強く照らすように
染まりそよぐ空の中
アレグロの鐘は響く
風は音となり弾け
水は気を仰ぎ揺らぐ

沸き上がる力を今、
アレグロの鐘が照らして …

Overall Meaning

The song "Allegro" by ACIDMAN is about the realization of the impermanence of life and the need to strive forward despite this reality. The lyrics describe the singer's experience of standing on a hill, looking out at a mist-covered city where time seems to have stopped. However, the river flowing through it continues at an unnaturally fast pace, causing the singer to tremble and cut their own arm in the middle of it all. The haze-filled sky and the sound of something faintly and weakly trembling in the singer's hand speaks to the fragility of life and the importance of holding onto what is most important to us.

The chorus repeats the phrase "Allegro no kane wa hibiku" ("the bell of Allegro rings out"), emphasizing the need to move forward despite the darkness and struggle. The song acknowledges the inevitability of death and the constant struggle to hold on to what is important, but ultimately leaves a message of hope and perseverance in the face of such difficulties.
