好感を買えるのは 余裕かどうか必死かどうか
どちらかなんだ
どんな気持ちで居たらいいんだろうね
外に出たら明るくて冷たくて おちゃらけたよ
死ぬ程なんて 死んでから言ってくれないか
カッといってクッと見渡せるやつを
今日もシャワーで実像の汚れを落とそう yeah
排水口から逃げ出すことはできなそう ah
「何もかもなくなれば!」と滅亡を願っても
数分後には笑えるよ 熱量 漏れ出す疫病
どんな気持ちで居たらいいんだろうね
外に出たら明るくて冷たくて おちゃらけたよ
どんな言葉で言えばいいんだろうね
街に出たら賑わいと酸欠で おちゃらけたよ
ひとりで喚く力も
いつのまにかなくなっていた
見透かしたような言葉で
わたしを閉じ込めて 何が楽しいの?
どんな気持ちで居たらいいんだろうね
外に出たら明るくて冷たくて おちゃらけたよ
どんな言葉で言えばいいんだろうね
街に出たら賑わいと酸欠で おちゃらけたよ
The lyrics of daoko's song "おちゃらけたよ" describe a feeling of disorientation in the face of the outside world. The first verse suggests that the singer feels overwhelmed by the complexities of daily life, and that they struggle to express themselves in a way that will be well-received by others. The second verse builds on this theme of confusion, as the singer expresses a desire for clarity and simplicity, asking for a "refreshing person" who can help them find perspective. The chorus offers a repetition of the title phrase, "ochiraketa yo," which roughly translates to "I act silly," and suggests a sense of playfulness amidst the chaos.
The song's bridge introduces a more philosophical tone, as the singer reflects on the fleeting nature of moments and emotions: "Even if I wished for everything to disappear / In a few minutes I'll be laughing / A contagious disease leaking heat." This meditative interlude leads back to the chorus, and the song ends on a note of uncertainty, as the singer wonders how they should feel or act when faced with the world outside.
Overall, the lyrics of "おちゃらけたよ" offer a vivid portrayal of modern anxiety and disconnection, as well as a recognition of the importance of finding moments of levity and joy amidst the struggle.

Daoko explained about this song in her blog post. This song was written a year and a half ago so it's not about the current situation and it's a total coincidence that the word "漏れ出す疫病"(leaking epidemic) was used. It's actually about how she feels being in Shibuya, where she spent her teenage years. The city has been rapidly changing with redevelopment/urban renewal and there are so many new buildings that block her view when she looks up to the sky. That makes her feel uneasy and she feels as if she (or human being) doesn't belong here. Every step she takes makes her feel like the psychological distance between her and the city is just getting further.
@jirk1236
Thank you very much. I read her blog but the only way that I can read it is by putting the text into a translator. I can read/say only basic stuff in Japanese, so your post kinda cleared things out for me.
Also I think that the meaning of the song is sad. It must hurt to see your favorite part of town, the place where you grew up change. I hope DAOKO is happy now, even tho by her recent IG posts it looks like she still has problems. Well the only thing I can do right now is to wish her a good and happy life.
@ienthanh5998
thank you for the elaboration
@ainzsama3892
Thank youuuu
@SteamAlchemist
It can be relatable as humans tend to dislike rapid changes, being new buildings or a disease disabling us outside world. And all we want is to live in peace. Quess, that isn't an option now..
@calogerogriffin861
Is this connected to shibuyaK? 😄
@soychidoese
When even Daoko is in quarantine, then we're in for a bumpy season.
@sucklet1791
