Galileo Galilei Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
夢から覚めよう
窓をあけてねじを巻くために
笑ってほしいよ
ベイビー ほら笑った
シダの葉と木漏れ日の道を
汗をかいて息を切らし
走ってどこかへ行こうぜ
太陽 照りつける日差しは
影を食い殺した
角をまがり川をくだり門を開けた
ここから先は
僕はいけないから
見ててあげるから
きっと楽しいから
だってね君の居場所は
ここじゃないから
ここじゃないからさよならだよ
起きて羽毛で包まれた
夢から覚めよう
窓を開けてねじをまくために
笑えなくなった
いつかのシダの葉と木漏れ日の道は
畦を刻み時と共に年をとったらしい
急に思い立って片道切符で
黄色いバスに乗る
太陽 照りつける日差しに
日傘をかざした
門を開けて川を下り角を曲がる
そこから先を
私覚えていなかった
忘れてしまったんだ
忘れてしまったんだ
だってね君の居場所は
ここじゃないから
ここじゃないからさよならだよ
The song "Imaginary Friends" by Galileo Galilei talks about waking up from a frustrating dream and wanting to feel happy. The song is about wanting to escape reality with a friend and to experience adventure. The lyrics describe a journey through nature while running and sweating, enjoying the sunlight, and feeling the wind. The song talks about opening a gate and going through it to a place where the singer is not allowed to go, but they will watch their friend have fun. The lyrics are melancholic and describe the desire for the friend to leave this place because it is not where they belong. The song ends with the singer waking up from a dream, feeling trapped, and not being able to smile anymore.

太陽 照りつける日差しは影を食い殺した
The blazing sun devoured the shadows
角をまがり川をくだり門を開けたここから先は僕はいけないから見ててあげるからきっと楽しいから
I turned the corner, went down the river, and opened the gate. I can't go further, so I'll watch over you. It'll surely be fun

Suddenly thought of, I took a one-way ticket and rode a yellow bus. I held up an umbrella against the blazing sun, opened the gate, went down the river, and turned the corner. I don't remember what happened after that. I forgot, I forgot. Because, you see, this isn't where you belong. It's not here, so this is goodbye
