Ghana
D.A.N. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(But the heart is also heavy)
(And the beautiful engineers are all dead)
(The secret technicians conspired for their own glamour)
(In the future, in the future, but now drink vodka)
(And lament the security forces)
(But the heart is also heavy)
(The beautiful engineers are all dead)
(The secret technicians conspired for their own glamour)

(But the heart is also heavy)
(The beautiful engineers are all dead)
(The secret technicians conspired for their own glamour)
(In the future, in the future, but now drink vodka)
(And lament the security forces)
(But the heart is also heavy)
(The beautiful engineers are all dead)

安心なライオンの背中に跨り乗って
死んだつもりで歩こう
悲しみを宝石に変えて
笑っている 笑っているの

ああきっと それは簡単なこと
忘れたいよ 話し方もすべて

悲しみを宝石に変えて
やり過ごして やり過ごしてるの

きっと彼と分かり合えない
窓の外に弾むボウル
悲しみ磨きがかかる
今朝の希望
午後の埋葬

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

安心なライオンの背中に跨り乗って
死んだつもりで歩こう
悲しみを宝石に変えて
やり過ごして やり過ごしてるの

きっと彼は分かり合えない
窓の外に弾むボウル
悲しみ磨きがかかる
今朝の希望
午後の埋葬

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh




Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to D.A.N.'s song "Ghana" are somewhat cryptic and difficult to interpret, but there are a few key themes that seem to emerge. The first line, "But the heart is also heavy," sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is at once mournful and pensive. The next line, "And the beautiful engineers are all dead," adds to the sense of loss and regret. It's unclear who these engineers are or what they did, but they seem to have been important in some way.


The third line, "The secret technicians conspired for their own glamour," hints at some sort of betrayal or deception. Again, it's not clear exactly what's going on here, but the implication is that there is something shady or underhanded happening. The fourth line, "In the future, in the future, but now drink vodka," seems to suggest that the singer is trying to escape the present moment by drinking and looking forward to a better future.


The fifth line, "And lament the security forces," adds a political dimension to the song. It's possible that the loss of the engineers mentioned earlier was due to political repression or violence. The repeated refrain of "But the heart is also heavy" and "The beautiful engineers are all dead" serves to reinforce the themes of loss and mourning that run throughout the song. Overall, "Ghana" is a haunting and enigmatic track that leaves the listener with more questions than answers.

AM5時半に起きて朝風呂から上がり髪を拭きながら雨音と一緒に聴くD.A.N.、最高の極みでした。脳味噌が溶ける感覚。

@nkjmyk

音楽性とかよくわからないけど、ラジオでこの曲流れてるのを聞いて衝撃うけた。
悲しみを宝石に変えてやりすごしてるの、とか、今朝の希望、午後に埋葬、とか表現されてる言葉も音も全部綺麗で心地よく、日々モヤモヤしてることも昇華されてくなぁ。

@sn-en3yd

最近私が良いなぁと思う音楽ってどれも”良い違和感”を持ってる気がする。D.A.Nもそのうちの1つ。心地よい違和感に引きつけられるなぁ…

@user-pn1tf1ry5b

shizuku 999 山口さんの発言だっけ

@yukanfu5724

ライブ行ったことあるけど
2列目でジーマ飲むの最高だった
D.A.N.はアルコール入れて聞くのが至高

@applekiw4040

これ聴いて震えた人はアルバム買って。
捨て曲ない。宝物になるよ。

@user-tn3gf8vf9l

カマボコぷに

このアルバムは買うべき

@nkjmyk

@user-iso1999
