Utopia
Ivy to Fraudulent Game Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
捨てるという苦しみもあるんだよ
始まるという喜びもいつしか
終わりという悲しみを引き起こす
いつも僕の想う理想ではない
朝日の中ですら嘆いている
擦れ違って 擦り切れていく
貴方の笑顔の裏にもきっと
誰かの悲しみがあるとも思う
豚や牛の死骸口にして
「美味い」と口にするこの時の様
いつも幸せが幸せとして
あり続けるのは難しい世界だ
擦れ違って 擦り切れていく
気高く 美しく
誰にも侵されない場所
朝から君の喜色だけが理由で
廻る世界に生きたい
今この目に溢れ出してるのは
無感動な涙なんだよ
あの映画を見た時みたいなさ
涙でこの目を満たしてよ
いつも僕の想う理想ではない
朝日の中ですら嘆いている
擦れ違って 擦り切れていく
気高く 美しく
誰にも侵されない場所
朝から君の喜色だけが理由で
廻る世界に生きたい
誰よりも気高く 美しく
生きていたいだけ
醜いもの全て振り落とす為に
今日も世界を廻す
あんな世界に行きたい
The lyrics in Ivy to Fraudulent Game's song "Utopia" explore the complexities of happiness and the human experience, and how even when we strive for our ideals and pursue happiness, there will always be struggles and pain we must face. The first verse notes that while we may have the happiness of choice, there is also the pain of letting go of what we do not choose, and the joy of beginnings can lead to the sorrow of endings. The singer recognizes that their ideals do not always match reality, and they lament even in the midst of beautiful moments like a sunrise.
The second verse delves into the idea that even behind someone's smile, there may be hidden sadness or darkness. The singer also comments on the insensitivity of consuming animal products and the callousness with which people refer to their taste. The chorus repeats the desire for a pure, untouched place free from the friction and wearing down of everyday life, and the longing to live in a world where only the joy brought by a loved one's smile justifies existence. The bridge expresses the desire to live nobly and beautifully, even if it means rejecting the ugliness of the world, and the determination to continue traversing the world with that ideal in mind.
