手をつないで
手をつないで
手をつないで
手をつないで
耳を塞いで
明けてゆく朝の五時
揺れるカーテン もしもし
途切れる telephone 夜通し
また言えないの お見通し
なんか疲れた やけに響いた
今 私は 何ができるか
手をつないで
耳を塞いで
目は離さないで
泣いてなんかないって
冷かさないでってば 最低
君はどう考えているのかな?
別に私は なんて ただ呟いて yeah, yeah
壊れないでね ただ手を繋いで 歩けば feel love
かっこ悪くったてまた立ち上がって 始まる a whole new life
寝てたって call me anytime 慣れない夜も受け入れていたい
また交わる we take a lot of time
形じゃないもの 忘れられないほどに I want you hold
Feel your love, fell in love
Feel your love
Yeah, yeah ダメ過ぎて my bad
また君をキズつけてしまった アチャ
行きすぎて can't back
俺の時間はそこで止まったまま
ゴメンねママ ダダ
俺はいつもワガママだった
愛してくれても まだ
やる事だらけみたい この世の中
Bling bling だぜ gold chain
見た目だけならば輝いてるかな?
全然足らないね この時間なら君は電話出るかな?
期待に添えずゴメンね
気づけばみんな自分の事だな
今更過去に戻れずに それをこなすただ
壊れないでね ただ手を繋いで 歩けば feel love (yeah, yeah)
かっこ悪くったてまた立ち上がって 始まる a whole new life
寝てたって call me anytime 慣れない夜も受け入れていたい
また交わる we take a lot of time
形じゃないもの 忘れられないほどに I want you hold
Feel your love, fell in love
Feel your love
The song "Telephone" by Iri feat. 5lack is a reflection on the struggles of communication in a relationship. The chorus repeats the phrase "手をつないで" (te wo tsunaide), which means "hold hands" in Japanese. The song reflects a desire to connect with someone but also the difficulty in doing so. The first verse describes the early morning hour of 5 am and the sound of a phone ringing and being unanswered all night. The singer is tired and wonders what they can do to connect with their partner better. The second verse describes the fear of miscommunication and hurting the other person's feelings. The singer begs their partner not to be cold and to hold them instead.
The song also touches on feelings of guilt and selfishness. The rap verse by 5lack expresses remorse for being selfish and not appreciating their partner enough. The chorus repeats the phrase "壊れないでね ただ手を繋いで" (kowarenai de ne tada te wo tsunaide), which translates to "don't break, just hold hands" and emphasizes the importance of connection and support in a relationship. The song finishes with the desire to hold onto intangible things and the feeling of falling in love.
Overall, "Telephone" is a powerful expression of the difficulties in communication in a relationship and the importance of holding onto each other through tough times.

最初の打ち合わせでiriが5lackに自分のイメージを伝えてトラックを作ってもらったら歌詞も乗っててほとんど出来上がってたらしい。天才かよ。

作詞もスラックって事でオケ?
@maru-wz5lw
天岳 おけ。そこからiriが少し手直しだったり調整して完成したから全部がスラックの曲ってわけではないけどほとんどそう
@user-dw7gj6ol5u
