Turn Around
ACIDMAN Lyrics

未来へとまた急ぐ
足早にただ急ぐ
沈む身体は深く
細胞にまた浸かる
鉄製の空ゆらり単色の空ゆらり
夜の音二秒少し
華やいだ二秒少し

未来には未だ行けず
足音はまだ響く
感覚はもう溶けて
意識だけで漂って
一つのルールが生まれ
二つのルールに変わり
分裂を繰り返し
混ざりあい意を無くす
Turn around ここは次の次元
ちょうど今は千年前で
Turn around 優しい空気見つけ
少しここで世界休め

未来へとまた急ぐ
足早にただ急ぐ
沈む身体は深く
細胞にまた浸かる
鉄製の空ゆらり単色の空ゆらり
夜の音二秒少し
華やいだ二秒少し
Turn around ここは次の次元
ちょうど今は千年前で
Turn around 優しい空気見つけ
少しここで世界休め

忘れてきた一つを
無くしてきた一つを
振り返る程気付く
振り返る意に気付く
忘れてきた一つを
無くしてきた一つを
振り返る程気付く
振り返る意に気付く
Turn around ここは次の次元
ちょうど今は千年前で
Turn around 優しい空気見つけ
少しここで世界休め
Turn around ここは次の次元
ちょうど今は千年前で
Turn around 優しい空気見つけ

少しここで世界休め
Turn around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of ACIDMAN's song Turn Around seem to speak about the constant journey towards the future, despite the person's inability to reach it just yet. The body sinks deep, immersed in the cells as they hurry along, chasing after the future. But as they move forward, they realize they have left something precious behind, and as they turn around and look back, they realize the importance of what they have lost. The lyrics also mention two rules that govern their journey, but as they grow and change, the rules become blurred, and their purpose and meaning are lost.

The chorus of the song seems to speak about finding respite, a brief moment of pause in the journey. The person turns around, but not just in the physical sense; they turn around their perception and their perspective, seeking out a different dimension in which to rest, where they can find a gentle atmosphere and allow themselves to take a break from the constant need to be hurrying towards the future.

Overall, the song seems to express the importance of taking a pause, a break from the rat race that is life, and taking the time to reassess and appreciate what we have, especially the things we may have left behind in our hurry to reach our destination.
