Give Me Speed
HAKUEI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
囲まれて目を閉じた
Give me dry 仮面の下
操つられるピエロ
迷路のような愛に
閉じ込められていたあの日
封印が解けるように
星座たちが動き出す
はだたいてゆくどこまでも高く
月と海と僕は夜にとり残されて
銀河をさまよう Give me speed
Give me speed ひび割れた
愛のカケラ見つめて
Give me dry 抱きしめた
夜を数え落ちてゆく
後を引く快感に
振りまわされていたあの日
薄れゆく意識の中
あざ笑うピエロの声
罪と罰と微笑みそれだけを残して
はだたいてゆく君が遠くなる
月と海と僕は一つに溶けあって
銀河をさまよう Give me speed
迷路のような愛に
閉じ込められていたあの日
封印が解けるように
星座たちが動き出す
罪と罰と微笑みそれだけを残して
はばたいてゆく君が遠くなる
月と海と僕は一つに溶けあって
銀河をさまよう Give me truth
The lyrics of HAKUEI's song "Give Me Speed" evoke a sense of entrapment and a desire for escape. The singer is feeling surrounded by chaos, with their eyes closed as they plea for speed and a sense of direction. They feel like they are being controlled by a mask like a puppet, lost in a maze-like love that has trapped them. The imagery of constellations moving and the sound of a mocking clown's laughter further depict a sense of confusion and desperation. The singer seeks to break the seal that has bound them, to rise higher and escape the past's sins and punishment.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more desperate and indulges in the thrill of escape. They count down the nights and embrace the shattered pieces of love that served as a reminder of their past. They are driven by the pleasure of speed, the desire for freedom, and the need to leave everything behind. Finally, in a moment of lucidity, they realize that they need to find the truth and explore the galaxy as one. The singer accepts the pain, the happiness, and everything in between, understanding that they are all part of their journey.
Overall, "Give Me Speed" is a powerful and emotional ballad that explores the themes of love, escape, and the search for the truth. The song's lyrics provoke thoughts on human nature's complexities and the struggles that people go through in their lifetime.
