Ice Cream
EL-MALO Lyrics

The lyrics of EL-MALO's song "ICE CREAM" depict a sense of restlessness and a desire to break free from the monotony of everyday life. The opening lines, "Itsumo no michi wa kumiau, miwatasu saki ni kemuri wo tokasu" (The usual path is crowded, smoke dissolving in the distance), paint a picture of a busy and overwhelming environment. The singer feels disconnected and out of sync, as symbolized by the metaphorical "loose screw" rolling and disrupting their cherished moments.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency and a longing to escape. The lines "Toki wo tomete kimi wo tsuredasu" (Stop time and take you away) reflect a desire to pause time and break free from the mundane. However, as the lyrics continue, there is a realization that even this desire to escape is futile, as expressed in the line "Doudemo ii to omoeru hodo no sora ga, dame ni naru boku wo waratte iru kara" (The sky that I can consider as "whatever" is laughing at me because it ruins me).

The song brings forth a feeling of being caught in a cycle, trying to find excitement but continuously falling into boredom. The chorus, "Kawa wo koete hashiru, kore de kimi to aeru" (Running across the river, with this, I can meet you), symbolizes a leap of faith or a leap into the unknown, hoping to find something different and exciting.
