Spiral
Johnny Keating And The Z-Men Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

おひさまがギラついて アスファルトが熱放ち
僕は少々いらついて エンジン吹かした

抜け出そう この悪しきスパイラル
まだ間に合うかもよ

My car 捨てて歩き出し ケータイがポケットふるわす
誰かが怒鳴り散らして 僕はあやまった

消してしまえ このヘンなスパイラル
時間はかからないよ

自分はどっから来たの?
裏庭に咲いた花の name まだ覚えてる?
やばい時計の針が進んでも 世界は終わらない

ぐるぐるまわり 落ちるの昇るの
気持ちひとつで今日が決まるかも

年齢不詳の若い moon でこぼこのビルの上でかすみ
僕はそっと見上げて ただうっとりした

見つけるんだ 光るスパイラル
星へとつづいてら

自分はどこに行きたいの
壁に描いたラフなドリームまだ残ってる?
何か一つだけでいい 失くしたものはまだ取り戻せる

ぐるぐるまわり 落ちるの昇るの
気持ちひとつで今日が決まるかも

ぐるぐるまわり 落ちるの昇るの
気持ちひとつで 昨日まで輝くかも





寝苦しい夜に 正装して出かけるよ
大好きな歌を心で鳴らして

Overall Meaning

These lyrics describe a sense of frustration and the desire to break free from a negative spiral. The opening lines depict a hot, glaring sun and an agitated state of mind. The singer starts their engine, indicating the intention to escape. They feel trapped in an unhealthy spiral but still hold onto hope that they can still make it out in time.


In the next verse, the singer decides to abandon their car and starts walking. Their mobile phone vibrates in their pocket, implying a disturbance. Someone begins shouting angrily, and the singer apologizes for their actions. They want to erase this strange spiral of events and believe that it won't take much time to do so.


The following verse delves into introspection. The singer questions their origins and asks if they remember the name of a flower that once bloomed in their backyard. They reflect on how even when the dangerous hands of a clock continue moving, the world won't come to an end. The lyrics suggest that everything keeps going in circles, falling and rising, and that our mindset may determine the outcome of each day.


The lyrics continue with a vivid image of a young moon shining on a jagged building. The singer looks up in awe and becomes mesmerized. They resolve to find a shining spiral that leads to the stars. The question of where they want to go arises. The singer wonders if their rough dream, painted on a wall, is still intact. They believe that even one thing is enough to regain what they have lost.


The chorus repeats the concept of everything going round and round, falling and rising, and how our emotions can determine the outcome of each day. They emphasize that with one feeling, today might be determined, and perhaps even yesterday can continue to shine with that same feeling.


The lyrics conclude with a reflection on sleepless nights and the act of dressing up to go out. The singer plays their favorite song in their heart as they venture forth. This can be interpreted as a symbol of finding solace and inner strength amidst challenging times.
