BOøWY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's a plastic bomb
いつでも burning speed ball
カプセル fire speed ball
まるでノクタンビュールさ 夢で踊る
She's a freak out gal イカレてるぜ
She's a freak out gal
She loves it all or nothing
シャレたコケティッシュ・ドールさ 闇で踊る
Sister said, "Hey boy, listen to me" hey girl, listen to me now
"You must be careful, yeah, by yourself"
Thank you God, don't be a fool
(Let's go) この街を駆けぬけろ
(Let's go) この時をブチやぶれ
手遅れになる前に do it again!

The song "Plastic Bomb" by Boøwy deals with the reckless and dangerous behavior of young people living in a big city. The verses describe two characters, a boy and a girl, who are both described as explosive and unstable - the boy as a plastic bomb and the girl as a freak out gal. The song highlights the dangers of living for the moment and indulging in reckless behavior, while also acknowledging the allure of this lifestyle. The pre-chorus relays advice, possibly from a wise older sister, reminding the two characters to be careful and not be foolish.
The chorus urges the characters to go all out and live for the moment. The repetition of "Let's go" reinforces the urgency and excitement of this lifestyle, while also hinting at a certain level of self-destructive behavior. The lyrics emphasize the importance of seizing the moment and enjoying life to the fullest, even at the risk of self-destruction. In many ways, "Plastic Bomb" could be seen as a commentary on the excesses and dangers of youth culture in Japan in the 80s.

BOOWY楽曲の中でアッパーな曲の代表的な曲であるオンマイビート派とプラスティックボム派に分かれてあーだこーだと語ってた高校時代を思い出す😊BOOWYなんて当時もうとっくに解散してたにも関わらず現役バンドの話しなんかより1番盛り上がる伝説のバンドだった。自分らが亡くなった後でもずーっと色褪せない永遠に語り継がれていくバンドだろうなあ。
シルバーチャリオッツ
分かるわぁ…その気持ち。どっちも最高の楽曲だね。
モモンガ２号
わかるーー
でも、オンマイビー派です
