雨のち雨のち雨
GO!GO!7188 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ボクはここで涙が通り過ぎるのを待ってるんだよ
間違えないで行き先を
オレンジの電車 いちごの匂い
どうして 何も言ってくれないの?
どうして 旅の支度をしているの?
ボクの右手は凍えはじめているよ。
今日も雨のち雨いつになったら止むの?
太陽昇ったらさ
ボクはここで永遠の赤い花を育てるんだよ
信じていたの約束を
くすんだ月の下 足りない数
どうして 何も言ってくれないの?
どうして そんな顔で見ているの?
ボクの右手は凍えてちぎれそうだよ。
These lyrics are from the song 雨のち雨のち雨 by GO!GO!7188, and they tell the story of a person who is stuck in the rain, feeling cold and alone. The person is waiting for their tears to subside, and hoping that things will get better soon. The first verse describes a scene where the person is huddled up, waiting for the rain to pass. They wonder what they are waiting for, and wait for their tears to pass. The second verse continues the theme of waiting, as the person wonders why nobody is saying anything to them. They are also getting ready for a journey, but feel scared and alone. Their right hand begins to freeze up, highlighting their physical discomfort.
The chorus asks when the rain will stop, and wonders what will happen when the sun finally rises. The person plans to stay in this spot and cultivate a red flower. They reminisce about a promise they believed in, while standing under the dull moon with a sense of limitation. They still feel alone in their thoughts, and their right hand is still frozen and on the verge of breaking.
Overall, this song is quite melancholic, portraying a feeling of loneliness and isolation. The rain serves as a metaphor for the hardship that one may face in life, where it feels like things will never get better. The lyrics are poignant and moving, showing how emotions can be conveyed through poetry and music.
