Peace

トワイライト
借りたままのチャリ
立ち漕ぎ夏が過ぎる

学研都市海のない街
何かに繋がれてる
自販機の明かりで眠る駅
まだ眠らない君

いつも同じ道
何度も見たことある景色

手を振る Peace

外れない天気予報
かけてく子供
持ち上げるフード

挿すイヤホン
寂しさと
沈んでく眩しいイエロー

終わりのない愛を
ぼうっと繰り返すずっと
ふと君の横顔
照らしたトワイライト

手を振る Peace

僕らは手を伸ばす
求めて追い越していく

トワイライト
借りたままのチャリ
立ち漕ぎ夏が過ぎる

学研都市海のない街
何かに繋がれてる
自販機の明かりで眠る駅
まだ眠らない君
いつも同じ道
何度も見たことある景色

手を振る Peace

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Age Factory's song "Peace" paint a vivid picture of a mundane summer day in a concrete city without the sea. The singer is riding a borrowed bicycle, standing on the pedals while pedaling through the town. They pass by vending machines that glowing in the dark, and the train station where someone is still awake. The song emphasizes how time passes and everything remains the same, with the singer repeatedly riding on the same road, seeing the same scenery.

As the song progresses, we begin to understand the feelings of the singer more deeply. They describe a melancholic loneliness that is offset by the brilliance of the yellow-hued twilight. The singer seeks solace in music, but it only amplifies the loneliness they feel. The repetition of the line "終わりのない愛をぼうっと繰り返すずっと" (Bou-tto kurikaesu zutto owari no nai ai wo) indicates that they may be stuck in a cycle of unending love or emotion that leaves them feeling hollow.

The chorus of the song brings everything together, with the repeating line "手を振る (Te wo furu) Peace" (Waving your hand for peace). It seems as though the singer is waving goodbye to the circumstances in their current life, looking to find peace, or perhaps heading towards a new beginning.
