Local Train
Immi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

どこまで遠くに
走って行けるのでしょう
どこまでレールは
続いているのでしょう
見合わせた向かうの列車に

手を振って合図して
口づけて

切ない顔をした君に
'大丈夫'
次の駅でまた会おう

たくさんの燃料を積んで
出発しよう

僕らは Local Train
ゆっくりと進もうよ
歩調を合わせるように
もう僕たち
離れてはいけないよ
離れてはいきられない

君は今どのへんを
走っているのでしょう
どんな風景を
目にしてるのでしょう
話を聞かせてくれますか?

僕は完璧ではいられないけど
足りないものはスーパーに寄って
買い足しておくよ待っててね

過ぎ行く待ち並みを
覚えていよう

僕らはLocal Train
ゆっくりと進もうよ
歩調を合わせるように
もう僕たち
離れてはいけないよ

僕らはLocal Train
旅を続けて行こう
迷うこともあるけど
もう僕たち

離れてはいけないよ
離れてはいきられない

Overall Meaning

The song talks about a journey on a local train and the emotions that come with it. The first stanza mentions the uncertainty of distance and how far the train can go. The singer watches another train go by and signals to the person on board, almost like a farewell or a promise to meet again at the next station. The second stanza is addressed to the person on the other train, asking about their journey, their experiences, and their surroundings. The singer mentions that they themselves are not perfect, but they are willing to fix what's lacking and wait for the other person to come back. Finally, the chorus talks about continuing the journey together, walking in sync, and never letting go of each other. The repetition of "離れてはいけないよ" ("we mustn't be apart") stresses the importance of connection and companionship during the journey.

The song's lyrics and melody create a bittersweet atmosphere, with a touch of nostalgia and longing. The mention of "切ない顔" ("a sad face") and "待っててね" ("wait for me") add to the emotional depth of the song. The theme of a journey on a train also reflects the transient nature of life and relationships, as the two people on different trains who may never see each other again. However, the lyrics also offer hope and reassurance that the journey can be enjoyable and worthwhile, especially if shared with someone special.
