我 月光と漆黒を背負う 革命のナイト 四十物十四
Fourteenth moon
何の冗談? 抱え込んだ疑問
いきなり邪魔モン 笑えない
理由もなく始まった陰湿な bulling
惨めな日々の routine
底無し沼のような地獄に
蜘蛛の糸垂らしてくれと
祈り叫んでた空虚な過去にお別れ
戻れない やり直せない
立ち止まれない 前に進むしかない
Cry babyから変化する為に
One, two, three 指折り数え
満ちる日を待つ兎 月の影に探して
雲の奥に幻想の島見出す
宵待月の名を背負い
孤独でも歩くと決め今に至るのさ
暗がり 照らす月明かり
マイク手に取り さぁ行こうかアマンダ
明日のその先 光が待つこと信じて
不退転の心抱いて
塞ぎ込むようなことばかり
けど立ち上がり
さぁ行こうかアマンダ
握る拳力強く 涙拭き
Never, never, never, never give up, give up
磨く容姿 通う美容室
異質な目で見る者達には直筆サインをプレゼント
さぁどうぞ
「我の世界に取り込んでやろうぞ」
台詞が厨二? 意見ご自由に
君を夢中にするヴィジュアル重視
居座る重鎮に向ける銃身
終日できてる革命の準備
恐れない まだ倒れない
揺るがない 心はまだ死んじゃいない
Skull ladyの kiss受けるまでに
墓場背に向け 銀色の薔薇片手に
地下深くから這い上がり
頂上目指して掴め アンダーグラウンドロマンス
始まるぞ狂乱の宴
悔い残さぬよう大いに騒げ
暗がり 照らす月明かり
マイク手に取り
さぁ行こうかアマンダ
明日のその先 光が待つこと信じて
不退転の心抱いて
塞ぎ込むようなことばかり
けど立ち上がり
さぁ行こうかアマンダ
握る拳力強く 涙拭き
Never, never, never, never give up, give up
そういや誰かが言ってたなぁ
そうやって派手な見た目だけじゃ
通用しないって中身を見てから言いな
食わず嫌いの偏食家か何か?
常に自分の魅せ方
突き詰めるのが十四のやり方 生き様
スポットライト浴び輝きを増す
マイク掴めば誰だって誰かのヒーロー
その脳で肌で全身で感じろカタルシスを得るヒプノシス
三つ巴 bad ass temple 揃えばまさに三銃士
異質な存在にディスでいつもギスギス
未来を見ず閉ざす扉に kick
今に見とけ 革命の爆弾 導火線に火つける我こそが Fourteenth moon
もう涙は零さないように
星眺め笑って行こうかアマンダ
明日のその先 光が待つこと信じて
不退転の心抱いて
塞ぎ込むような日に立ち向かい
つらい日も乗り越え行こうかアマンダ
握る拳力強く 明日へ向け
Never, never, never, never give up, give up
Never give up, give up
Never give up, give up
Never give up, give up
The song "Shadows and Tall Trees" by B.U is a melancholic and introspective piece that explores themes of loneliness, alienation, and self-reflection. The first stanza sets the scene on the "cold restless streets at night" where the singer talks to themselves about "tomorrow night". The "walls of white protest" and "gravestone in name" refer to the alienating and anonymous city environment that the singer finds themselves in, and they ask "who is it now, it's always the same" highlighting a sense of recurring monotony and dissatisfaction.
The second stanza continues with the theme of loneliness, as the singer questions who is calling them inside and wonders if the natural world around them is simply a "living disguise". The lines "I walk sweet rain tragicomedy, I'll walk home again to the street melody" evoke a sense of resignation and routine, as if the singer has come to accept that their life is a bittersweet tragicomedy that they are resigned to walking alone.
In the bridge, the narrative switches to an outside perspective, describing the mundane and unchanging sights of the singer's surroundings, like "Misses Brown's washing is always the same" in stark contrast to the singer's inner turmoil. The chorus repeats the phrase "shadows and tall trees" multiple times like a comforting mantra, suggesting that despite the feelings of disillusionment and loneliness, there is still a sense of hope and resilience.
Overall, "Shadows and Tall Trees" is a poignant meditation on urban isolation and finding hope in the face of monotony and routine.
Line by Line Meaning
Back to the cold restless streets at night
Returning to the desolate, frigid roads in the darkness
I talk to myself about tomorrow night
I converse with myself regarding the upcoming evening
Walls of white protest
Barriers of pale resistance
The gravestone in name
The memorial bearing a name
Who is it now
Who is calling me currently?
It's always the same
The situation is routine and unchanged
Who calls me inside
Who beckons me indoors
Are the leaves on the trees
Do the foliage on the trees
Just living disguise
Exist merely as a facade?
I walk sweet rain tragicomedy
I traverse the rainy, bittersweet tragedy
I'll walk home again
I will journey back home once more
To the street melody
To the tune of the city streets
But I know, oh no
However, I am aware, but displeased
Shadows and tall trees
Silhouettes and lofty trees
Life through a window
Life observed from a pane
Discolored pain
Distorted agony
Misses Brown's washing is always the same
Mrs. Brown's laundry is habitually identical
You feel in me
You detect in me
Anything redeeming
Anything meritorious
Any worthwhile feeling
Any significant emotion
Is love like a tightrope
Is love comparable to a precarious balancing act
Hanging from the ceiling
Suspended from above
Shadows, shadows, shadows
Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes
