Ocean Blue Sky Orange
Capsule Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
気分がアンニュイなのはなぜ？
空一面広がる雲のせいかな
昨日のテレビの予報では
サイクリング日和のはずだよ
甘い香りのする ocean blue & sky orange today
坂道 少し息切らして
上るとすぐ 見える一面の海
いつもと 同じ場所が 今日は
見知らぬ人 先に取られてた
南風にのせて オレンジ色付く sky high
甘い香りのする ocean blue & sky orange today
The song Ocean Blue Sky Orange by the electro-pop duo Capsule is a contemplative piece that reflects upon the melancholic state of mind. The lyrics start with a question asking why the mood is ennui. The song then shifts to describe the sky's colors, with the blue of the ocean and the orange of the sky. The song suggests that the expansive clouds could be the reason for feeling melancholic. The lyrics continue with a description of yesterday's weather forecast that suggested it to be a perfect day for cycling.
The scenery described in the song seems to suggest that the singer went biking on the hills that overlooked the ocean. The singer describes the view of the sea from the hill and how it provides a sense of comfort even though they see unfamiliar people at the usual spot where they've always been. The song then repeats its opening lines, suggesting that the ambiguous feelings of ennui can sometimes be caused by something as simple as the weather.
