Distress
Hysteric Lolita Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
歩き出す道さえない 溺れた未来
籠の中の鳥（チョウ）達よ 抜け落ちた羽集め
赤くなった手を見ても
また空を飛べると信じ鳴き叫ぶ
なぜ? 高まる鼓動
なぜ? 止まない衝動
理想も未来も捨てたハズだったのに
なぜ? 期待してるの
だってドキドキするの
心の奥 しまい込んだ願いは1㎜なのに
小さな光 消せない...
騙し合う 偽った距離 虚像の世界
伸ばされた手はチャンスか はたまた罠か
籠を開けた鳥（チョウ）達は 思い通り飛べるのだろう?
黒く染まったシルエット
まるでカラスのような目で見る現実
なぜ? 涙が出るの
なぜ? 胸が痛むの
感情は捨てさり人形になれたのに
なぜ? 動揺するの
だってチクチクするの
胸の痛み溢れる程ホントの自分に戻る
「それでいいよ」と言ってよ
なぜ? 高まる鼓動
なぜ? 止まない衝動
理想も未来も捨てたハズだったのに
なぜ? 期待してるの
だってドキドキするの
心の奥 しまい込んだ願いは1㎜なのに
小さな光 消せない...
The lyrics to Hysteric Lolita's song DISTRESS depict a sense of feeling lost and trapped within oneself. The opening lines convey a sense of hopelessness as the singer feels judged and unable to find their way. The distorted view that they see reflects their inner turmoil and inability to move forward. The subsequent lines reveal a sense of resignation towards their fate, feeling as though they are drowning in an uncertain future.
The imagery of birds in a cage serves as a metaphor for the singer's desire to escape their own constraints. The idea of the birds collecting their dropped feathers suggests a sense of hope and the belief that even when injured or broken, one can rise again. The repetition of the question "why?" and the contrasting feelings of excitement and apprehension express the singer's conflicted internal dialogue.
The second verse shifts the focus towards the external world, describing a false reality and the difficulties of discerning what is real or deceiving. The question of whether to reach out for a chance or beware of a trap highlights the singer's lack of trust and anxiety. They wonder if those who have escaped their own cages can really fly as they had hoped, or if they are only further bound by dark silhouettes of the past.
In summary, the song is about navigating the complex web of internal and external emotions, feelings of hopelessness, and a desire for freedom.
