Open
BIG-O & DJ WATARAI Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vacant angel
Crimson light
Darkened eyelash
Darkened eye
The white light of the living room
Leaking through the crack in the door
There was never need for more
Things we're meant to
Understand
Crawling closer
To your hand

To the poison image
Brave surrender
Kiss the water

After all my teeth are gone
After all the blood is drawn
The white light of the waiting room
Leaking through the crack in the door

Through the poison image
Brave surrender
Kiss the water

Through the mirror
Mountain view
She has one green
One eye blue
I can see her smiling through




The white light of the living room
Leaking through the crack in the door

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Open" by BIG-O and DJ WATARAI presents a vivid and cryptic imagery that could have several interpretations, depending on the listener's perspective. The theme of the song revolves around a sense of surrender, taking risks, and embracing the unknown. The first verse sets the dark mood of the song, where the singer observes a "vacant angel" in a crimson light. The angel has darkened eyelashes and eyes, which could represent a sense of emptiness and lack of hope. However, the singer does not need more than the white light of the living room, leaking through the door, to understand what is happening.


The second verse seems to allude to taking risks and jumping into the unknown. The singer is moving closer to somebody's hand, which implies intimacy and trust. The singer makes a brave surrender, even to a poison image, and kisses the water. This could mean that he is willing to take whatever risk is necessary to achieve his goal, even if it means facing poison or danger. The third verse is about acceptance and finding beauty in the imperfections of life. The singer sees a woman with one green and blue eye, and despite any "imperfections," he can see her smiling through the white light leaking through the door.


Overall, the song's lyrics present an intriguing image of somebody who is observing life and embracing every moment, even if it means facing danger or uncertainty. It is a song about love, courage, and acceptance of the bad that life throws our way.

好きにしていいんだろ kickin da door
蹴破り 暗闇の中をたどる
足跡は 6 inch boots それは勇者が刻みつけた wounds
ふつふつ沸き出し そしてグツグツ 煮えたぎるんだ
ひるんだお前目がけ get on down マイクは得た手りゅう弾

If till night, if he still dat say so
その頭タテに振り瞑想
言うこと聞かない子には 全員そう
その口に突っ込む チェーンソー

普段どおり配備 任務は heavy
あとは遂行のみ 有終の美
地下の仲間と ビルの陰にしのび
見上げた空は Yankees Navy


*Hook
変わり果てゆく時代
なぜお前に届かない
真実だけ for your mind

遠く恐れる未来
俺は立ち止まらない
その道は果てしない
So,I know this is da mission in my life!


*Ver.2
In my world, 積もり積もり積もり
深く霧が たちこめる森
誰かが落とした マイクの温もり
まだ間に合うぜ Good morning

そう、強い思いが 胸をかき乱す
そいつをはき出す 技をあみ出す
ビートにのせ お前の心満たす
言葉の武士が おともいたす

差し出す Little shit, Big jealousy
この街の地下の O印
だろ? やっぱ俺がいなくちゃ
見てみな この big picture


*Hook
変わり果てゆく時代
なぜお前に届かない
真実だけ for your mind

遠く恐れる未来
俺は立ち止まらない
その道は果てしない
So,I know this is da mission in my life!


*Ver.3
ふたたび開く lyric note
言葉誘う 魅惑の音
俺は言うまでもなく 玄人
こだわる 誰がなんと言おうと

人生 mother FxxKin' game 振る DICE
確率は大 Do or Die
選択の道は2つ つらぬくぜ この B-boy スタンス
Do da hip it up! Don't stop! (Don't stop!)
Big-O with real Hip-Hop! (Hip-Hop!)
刻め一瞬のライン 一発
心の中 ビート鳴りっぱ

ストリートからの アツいご指名
これは俺が 与えられた使命
ラスト1小節 極めるトドメ
世界中に この声届け


*Hook
変わり果てゆく時代
なぜお前に届かない
真実だけ for your mind
遠く恐れる未来
俺は立ち止まらない
その道は果てしない
So,I know this is da mission in my life!

久しぶりに観にきました。14年前偶然YouTubeで見つけた人生で初めて電気が走ったような感覚でした。当時は小学生でハーフか外国の人かと思ってました(笑)唯一無二のスタイルで今聴いても色褪せません。最高です!ゆっくり休んでください!やっぱBig-Oがいなくちゃ!!!

@user-mt4oc6kp6y

WATARAIビートがまためちゃかっこいいから、BIG-Oとガッチリ合わさってるんだよ

日本人ラッパーの中で1番好きな人が亡くなってしまった。昔Phenomenonのパーカー着てクラブ行ったらおおすみさんが似合ってるね!って言ってくれたのすげー嬉しかった😢 R.I.P

@ctmmhp

若い頃、クラブ遊びして、竜宮でよく酒飲んでました。おじさんの青春です。オースミさん、安らかに。ラップ、リリック、フロウ、曲終わりのワタライのO.Cの声ネタのコスりまで、老害おじさんの心には沁みます。曲はずっと生きる。
