Red strings
Aldious Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
僕等「夢と共に暮らす」一人一人誓った
思い出話やたらと響いて
舞い落ちたホコリに埋れ「ありがとう」と「さよなら」
生きれるか死ぬかはわからない
手すりのない橋を
視力も悪くたった一人で渡り切れるのかな
渡れる自信はある!! けどないに等しくて。
夢見る少女じゃもうごまかしがきかなくて
赤い糸たちよ どうか伸びていかないで
迷わず辿って戻ってこれるように
コミュニケーション取りすぎたせいかな。
パズルのワンピース欠けて絵にならないみたいな
坂道 曲がり道 細い道 暗い道
それぞれに合った茨の道を進んで行こう
大勢か堕落かわからない歌い続けていても
君を救う僕に偉大な力は持てるの?
手にする自信はある!! けどないに等しくて
それでも強硬な叫びだけはうるさくて
赤い糸たちよ どうかほつれて行かないで
迷わず辿って戻ってこれるように
また会える自信はあるけど ないに等しくて
「前より今の方が楽しい」と思わないで
赤い糸たちよ どうか忘れて行かないで
迷わず辿って戻ってこれるように
いつかは全て戻ってこれるように
The lyrics of Aldious's song "Red strings" tell a story of resilience and determination in the face of uncertainty. The opening lines describe a room that feels empty and cold, even in the midst of summer. The members of this room, who have pledged to "live with dreams," are reminiscing about memories that resonate deeply. These memories are buried in the fallen dust, expressing both gratitude and farewell.
The lyrics then shift to questioning the ability to navigate through a bridge without railings, both literally and metaphorically. The singer wonders if they can cross this treacherous bridge alone, despite having poor eyesight. They assert the confidence to cross it, but deep down, they feel an absence of self-assurance. The idea of being a dreamy girl who can deceive no longer applies.
The song continues with the plea for the red strings not to stretch away, symbolizing the connections we have with others. The singer wants to courageously follow these threads without hesitation, so they can find their way back. The reason for feeling lost and uncertain is attributed to excessive communication. It's compared to a puzzle missing a piece, making it impossible to make a complete picture.
The lyrics explore the struggle of finding the right path, facing challenges, and questioning one's own abilities. Despite the doubts and uncertainties, there remains a belief in being able to meet again, to enjoy the present more than the past, and to not forget the red strings that bind us all. It conveys a message of perseverance and the importance of staying connected with others on our individual journeys.
