JUN SKY WALKER(S) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
にらみつけて 追いかけてくるよ
穴のあいたあの光の中
手を延ばして 走り続けるよ
消えていく
あのストーリーを思い出す
過ぎていく 時間はただそれだけ
あの頃 憶えた あのメロディー
夢中で追いかけた あのメロディー
あの日の歌声は 流れ星と消えた
君はいない ゆっくりと消えた
沈んでいく夕日みたいに
僕が夢を見ている間に
季節が九つ 変わってしまった
窓越しの太陽の光の中
君の頬きらきら輝いてた
あの頃 憶えた あのメロディー
飛び散った音符を集めて
夢中で追いかけた あのメロディー
あの日の歌声は 流れ星と消えた
La la la la...la la la la...
La la la la...la la la la...
La la la la...la la la la...
La la la la...la la la la...
The lyrics of JUN SKY WALKER (S)'s song "Melody" describe the feeling of nostalgia and reminiscence. The singer seems to be chased by thick clouds that represent the passage of time and the memory of a story that is fading away. The singer tries to hold onto something from the past, represented by a melody that he remembers from a long time ago. The lyrics also reference the disappearance of someone important, probably a friend or a lover, and the passing of the seasons, which creates a sense of fleetingness and loss. The singer remembers the melody with great fondness and tries to collect the scattered notes, reliving the excitement he felt when he first heard it. However, as the song comes to a close, the memory of the melody fades away like a shooting star, leaving the singer alone with the passing of time.
Overall, the song captures the bittersweet feeling of nostalgia and the sense of loss that comes with the passing of time. The powerful imagery of the thick clouds, the disappearing melody, and the changing seasons creates a poetic and emotional atmosphere that resonates with a universal experience.
