月と甲羅
GO!GO!7188 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
邪魔なモノ。涙と嘘 都会時間と眼鏡曇らす昨夜の吐息
でこぼこわき道走る あたしは眠らないうさぎになる
いびつな足 その向こうに 開いた穴は埋まらない
ココロ揺らすコトバ
カラダ揺らすリズム
少しだけ 好きになれたモノ。ベースと夜
サッカー中継と昨夜の電話
でこぼこわき道走る あたしは眠らないうさぎになる
あたしと君 その間はきっとずっと埋まらない
ココロ揺らすコトバ
カラダ揺らすリズム
ノドを震わしウタを紡ぐ ラララ…
でこぼこわき道走る あたしはピンク☆ロックなうさぎになる
いびつな穴 あたしと君 全部目の前に並べた
ココロ揺らすコトバ
カラダ揺らすリズム
ノドを震わし触れてみた 何も恐くなかった
明日かかる虹が
またかすんでいたら
青い傘をさせばいい ラララ…
The lyrics to "月と甲羅" are about a journey towards self-discovery and finding a connection with someone. The singer is dispirited by the obstacles in their life and is lost in the chaos of a world that seems to move too fast. Two rainbows, hazy with blue, emerge in the black sky of a sudden rain shower, signaling the potential for hope and change. The distractions that hold the singer back - tears, lies, city life, and time - cloud their vision and impede their progress. The rough, uneven road ahead feels insurmountable, but the singer is determined to press on and become a rabbit that never sleeps.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the things that they've come to love, such as the bassline in a song or the phone call they received the night before. They realize that the divide between themselves and the person they yearn for may never close entirely. But the emotions that they experience - the words that shake their heart and the rhythm that makes their body move - provide comfort and reassurance. Even if the rainbow in the sky tomorrow is once again obscured by clouds, the singer can lift the blue umbrella of hope and continue on their journey.

高校3年の時、バイト終わりに自転車で帰る時にめちゃくちゃ聴いてました😊バイトでよく叱られ、片道１４キロの帰り道、田舎だから舗装もガタガタの道、良く夕立にあって傘もなくてずぶ濡れで帰ってました😢この曲を聴いたら雨に濡れても叱られても、心の雨が消えて綺麗な夕方になるような。私にとっては学生時代1番の励ましの曲です😢
