優しい歌
I's CUBE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ねえ僕でも ソレを信じられるの?
この声嗄らし 切り裂いて歌っても
触れられない 心の奥の温度
今日もトゲがあったんだ 中途半端な例え話
そっとふりかえると うつむいた君
優しい歌を教えて 聞かせて
君の涙の理由を変える程の
優しい歌に気付けよ 歌えよ
心のどこかにあるはずなのに
ねえいつも 僕のためだとか
ねえいつか 離れてしまったらとか
そんな君の言葉 本当は宝物なのに
聞こえないふりをして 捨ててしまった
鍵がかかるその前に
優しい歌よ流れて いますぐ
この空気よ流れて 涙じゃなくて
優しい歌が流れるスピーカー
でもそれは誰かの曲だから
だからその
優しい歌を教えて 聞かせて
君の涙の自由を許せる程の
優しい歌に気付けよ 歌えよ
心のどこかにあるはずなのに
優しい歌にはそう書いてあるのに
The lyrics of I's CUBE's song "優しい歌" speak to a longing for comfort and understanding amidst the difficulties of life. The singer addresses another person, asking why they sing such a gentle song and questioning whether the singer can believe in it. The singer's voice is hoarse from singing, but even still, the warmth of the song cannot reach the depths of their hearts. The singer describes their day as having thorns, and they reflect on a metaphor that falls short. When they turn to look at the person they are speaking to, they have their head down.
The singer yearns to hear this kind person's song, to have it change the reasons for their tears. Although they treasure the kind words that this person speaks, they pretend not to hear them and throw them away. They imagine a world where a kind song flows through the air, rather than tears. And even though this song may belong to someone else, they want to hear it. The song's message urges the listener to find the gentle song that may be buried deep within them, waiting to be sung.
