Capsule Lyrics

思い込んだんだ
夢じゃないほうが
いいじゃないそうだ
ふるえてるよプルプルまるで赤色のｊｅｌｌｙ

迷い込んだこの場所で
みつけたんだ僕がどんなに
求めても手に入んない

思い込んでたの

それは偶然だけどきっと
キミは当然だって言うよね
そんな僕は自信がない
すぐにダメだって思い込んでいた

いつもそうなんだ
だけどそうなんだ
これは当然って
思い込んだんだ
夢じゃないほうが
いいじゃないそうだ
ふるえてるよプルプルまるで赤色のｊｅｌｌｙ

迷い込んだあの場所で
みつけたんだ僕がこんなに

求めても手に入んない
思い込んでたの

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Capsule's "Jelly" present a reflection on the nature of expectations and perceived realities. The singer of the song seems to have stumbled upon a place or situation where they found something that they had desired for a long time but could never attain, something they had convinced themselves did not exist. The imagery of the "jelly" is used as a metaphor for this elusive object of desire, which is both attractive and unsettling, palpable and malleable. The singer's emotions are conveyed through the trembling and shaking of the jelly, which also serves to emphasize the fragility and instability of their beliefs.

The second half of the song delves more into the singer's mindset and internal conflicts. They seem to doubt their own abilities and worth, constantly anticipating failure and disappointment. The idea of chance and destiny is also alluded to, as the singer questions the role they played in finding the object of their desire and whether it was always meant to be. The song ends on a note of uncertainty, with the singer acknowledging the power of their own beliefs but unsure of whether they are justified or simply wishful thinking.
