眠りの浅い朝の回路埃にまみれてるカイト
フワフワの音が眠ってる
そこはかとなく日々は続き
左利きの犬がまさに片足引きずり笑ってる yeah

太陽と空の間静かに開いた世界に
憧れてしまったんだろうか

赤い煉瓦をそっと積み上げて
遠き日の魔法をかけてみる
丸い地球の裏側ならこれで行ける
そして少年は一握りの
オレンジ色の砂を蒔いた
黄金色に輝く音をいつか奏でよう

ある朝の記憶も僅か懐かしきワルツも遥か
カラカラと音が流れてる
無邪気に笑う人の影と無情に唄う木々の合図
またとない色を手に入れる

太陽と空を抱いた世界にほんの少しの
明かりを灯せるだろうか

赤い煉瓦をそっと積み上げて
もう一度魔法をかけてみる
幼さ故の過ちなどこれで消える
そして少年は一握りの
オレンジ色の砂を蒔いた
黄金色光る夕暮れに音を重ねよう

眠りの浅い朝の回路埃にまみれてるカイト
フワフワの音が眠ってる
そこはかとなく日々は続き
左利きの犬がまさに片足引きずり笑ってる yeah
Oh yeah

赤い煉瓦をそっと積み上げて
遠き日の魔法をかけてみる
丸い地球の裏側ならこれで行ける
そして少年は一握りの
オレンジ色の砂を蒔いた
黄金色に輝く音をいつか奏でよう

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to ACIDMAN's song Sekitou paint a vivid picture of a dream world, where a boy is seeking to escape the mundane realities of life. The opening lines describe an early morning scene where a kite covered in dust is floating in the air, surrounded by a soft humming sound. The boy is drawn to the peaceful world created between the sun and sky, where he can escape to and forget his troubles. The metaphor of building a tower out of red bricks and casting a spell using magic is a representation of the boy's imagination and his desire to create something out of nothing.

The chorus suggests a yearning for something more - a desire to light up the world in some small way. The boy wants to bring a touch of magic to the world by creating something beautiful, something that will resonate with his soul. The lyrics also speak of nostalgia and the fleeting memories of childhood. The boy is looking back on his past with fondness but also trying to move forward.

Overall, Sekitou is a dreamy and introspective song that captures the essence of youth and the longing for something more significant.
