EL-MALO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
でも どうって事はない
目を閉じれば すぐ元にもどる
あれはきっと
誰かが仕掛けたいたずら
こんなに震えてるのに
何が恐いのか分らない
やっぱりそう
君の肘にぶつかる
それは奇跡的だね
「今朝は昨日よりましな気分です」
でも何て事はない
俺はそのセリフを街でひろった
でも帰るころには 忘れるだろう
こんなに震えてるのは
いつも通りの太陽が 肌を刺すから
こんなに悲しいのに 笑い出すのは
いつも通り君がいるから
The lyrics of "Possession" by EL-MALO depict a person who is struggling with their emotions and fears, but finds comfort in the presence of someone close to them. The first stanza talks about the chaos and confusion of the world, represented by the image of the sky falling apart. However, the singer finds solace in the fact that they can always return to a peaceful state by closing their eyes. The chaos is seen as a prank played by someone, suggesting a sense of playfulness behind the fear.
In the second stanza, the singer hears someone say that they feel better today than yesterday, but dismisses it as meaningless. The fear and trembling they experience is caused by the hot sun and their personal issues, but they are able to find happiness in the presence of the person they are with. The singer seems to rely on the presence of this person to get through their struggles.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability, fear, and uncertainty about the world, but also the power of human connections to offer comfort and stability.
