Ano ko no naka ja ima mo mada kengai
Ren'ai en nai yappa sen'nai
Keitai kara no myujikku antei-zai
Kaisha de settai semai sekai
Egai teta e to mi kurabete memai
Ha, mou, kon'na no arienai…
Mouichido kontinyu shitai yo
Kirameku neon gomi ga hikaru machi
Oi shiranu mimi shinji teru akashi
Chekku suru nyusongu
Disuko wa uchuu musuku no kaori no kimi ni muchu
Mujuryoku de fuyu hate no nai kuukan pukapuka
Guruguru mawaru wakusei notte
Doko made mo yukeru yoo
Mekurumeku mirabouru notte
Suisei ni demo tabi ni deyou ka
Itsuka mita sono sakini nani ga aru to iu no
Kirakira hikaru hoshi no hazama de
Futari odoriakashitara
Motto kagayaku toko ni kimi o tsurete iku yo
Ki ni naru boui wa kon'ya doko ni
Tashikani pachipachi hajiketa oto

Purazuma hashiru inazuma

The lyrics of DAOKO's song Suisei (Comet) describe a person's longing for escapism, a desire to leave their mundane and unfulfilling life behind and journey to the stars. The song begins with the sun shining down on a crowded train in Tokyo, where the singer feels trapped and bored with their life. They note the absence of love and romance as they aimlessly listen to music on their phone. The monotonous routine at work only adds to their desire to escape.
As the song progresses, the singer describes the city's lively neon-lit streets and the smell of space musk, which gives them a sense of excitement and possibility. They envision themselves floating in a weightless space, surrounded by planets and galaxies that they can explore without restraint. The singer is drawn to a comet, and they invite someone to join them on their journey to the stars. They imagine dancing together and watching the shimmering comet as it flies through the universe.
The lyrics of Suisei evoke a powerful sense of longing and escapism, symbolized by the trip to outer space. The song's theme reflects a common desire for adventure and excitement, something beyond the ordinary routine of everyday life.
