Egoist Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

突然降り出した雨
土煙をあげて
この街に落ちてきた
ごうごう音立て
傘を持たぬ人たちは
濡れ競う
生者の群れ
二人眺めてたんだ

当てもなく
何処行く?

途方にくれる世界の隅っこ
小さなトンネルに閉じこもって
ついたため息あくびで答える
キミの手を強くぎゅっと握った

世界はモノクロのまま走る
大粒の雨地面を叩く
当たり前の言葉が欲しくって
わからずやキミは臆病者
私の気持ちなんか知らないで
もっと強く
その手で握りしめて

ゆるく繋いだこの手
降り止まないこの雨
途方にくれた二人
小さなこのトンネル
キミの顔を見上げて
見つけたこの感情
頼りなくて温かい
遠くで轟く雷が
キミの手を強くぎゅっとさせた

世界はモノクロのまま走る
大粒の雨地面を叩く
当たり前が案外遠くって
わからずやキミは臆病者
私の気持ちなんか知らないで
もっと強く
その手は握れるのに
握れるのに
Ah-ah

世界がモノクロのまま走る
増してく激しさ二人ぼっち
言葉探しまたため息をついた
わからずやキミは臆病者
私の気持ちなんか知らないで
もっと強く
その手で握りしめて

世界はモノクロのまま走る
大粒の雨地面を叩く
当たり前の言葉が欲しくって
わからずやキミは臆病者
私の気持ちなんか知らないで
もっと強く
その手で握りしめて

その手でもっと握りしめてよ

Overall Meaning

The song "Ame Kimi wo Tsurete" is a melancholy ballad that speaks of a brief encounter between two people on a rainy day. The lyrics describe the sudden onset of rain, with people scrambling to find shelter while others compete in a race to get wet. Amidst this chaos, the two individuals in question find themselves together, looking out at the rain with no destination in mind.

The chorus speaks of the uncertainty and doubts that plague the two characters, who are lost in a world that seems to have no color. They seek solace in each other's company, holding hands as they take refuge in a small tunnel. Despite their doubts, they acknowledge the warmth of their connection, finding comfort in each other's company.

The verses and chorus of the song are intertwined with a recurring image of thunder, a metaphorical representation of the intensity of emotions that the two characters feel. The lyrics suggest that the two are on their own in this world, seeking comfort in each other's company while the rain continues to fall, driving everything and everyone apart. The song finishes with a powerful plea to hold onto each other, to continue to keep holding each other's hand amidst the chaos of the world.
