Good News Is Bad News
Helsinki Lambda Club Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

サウンドクルージング 行く当てもない
あの線路沿いを行けるとこまで歩いてく
ナイトクルージング この街は
風が吹かないけどどこ吹く風で歩いてく

夜更けの摩天楼 そんな顔していたっけ
並んで歩いた 二人の間に
雨が降って止んで

きっと僕招かれざる客
不安にさせるのも君の作戦の一つ?
幾何学模様のワンピース
解き明かせない君の思考回路と重なって
会話は的外れだけど 窓越しの月よりも
その目に映った方を忘れないでしょう

見つめていたい気持ち 手を振ってぼんやり
最終のベルが鳴る
Good news is bad news
カウントダウンが始まったの

触れてみたい気持ち 隠してうんざり
でもまた会える日を待つ
Good news is bad news
好きな映画の話を聞かせてよ
このままでいいね

ナイトクルージング 立ち止まるな
便所の壁に書かれた"yes"が答えさ

見つめていたい気持ち 手を振ってぼんやり
最終のベルが鳴る
Good news is bad news
カウントダウンが始まったの
触れてみたい気持ち 隠してうんざり
でもまた会える日を待つ
Good news is bad news
好きな映画の話を聞かせてよ

このままでいいね このままでいいね




このままでいいね?
このままじゃ不安定?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Good News Is Bad News" by Helsinki Lambda Club describe a night out in the city, where the singer goes on a "Sound Cruising" with no particular destination in mind, walking along the railway line until it leads them somewhere. They have a conversation with someone specialized in geometric patterns, and their thoughts overlap with theirs, making it impossible to untangle their thought process. However, the singer recalls the way the other person looked at them and decides to remember it better than the moon outside the window. The singer reflects on the fact that the good news they receive is usually followed by bad news, counting down to when they would meet again, but still hopeful. They tell the other person to talk about their favorite movie and acknowledge that they are happy with the way things are.


The song portrays the feeling of uncertainty and instability as the singer walks aimlessly, hoping to find something. They cannot make sense of the person they are with, and their thoughts are quite vague, matching the ambiguity of their surroundings. However, they are optimistic that this meeting would lead to something more in the future, and they don't want to let go of that possibility.

Night cruising in this city. There's no wind, but we'll walk wherever the wind takes us.

Your geometric dress overlaps with your inexplicable thought process.


会話は的外れだけど 窓越しの月よりも その目に映った方を忘れないでしょう
The conversation is off-topic, but don't forget the direction in which those eyes gazed. It's more important than the moon outside the window.

I want to keep watching you, but I shake my hand emptily. The final bell rings, the countdown begins. Good news is bad news.

I feel like I want to touch you, but I'm tired of hiding it. But I'll wait for the day we meet again. Good news is bad news. Tell me about your favorite movie. It's okay like this.


ナイトクルージング 立ち止まるな 便所の壁に書かれた"yes"が答えさ
Don't stop cruising at night. The "yes" written on the toilet wall is your answer.


このままでいいね このままでいいね このままでいいね?このままじゃ不安定?
It's okay like this. It's okay like this. Is it really okay like this? Is it unstable like this?

@user-ef1nt9ir3n

ボーカルの声質とジャキジャキしたギターから生み出されるノルタルジーが中毒性を生み出していて抜け出せない。
