あの頃に戻れない with MAY'S
K.J. Lyrics

The lyrics of K.J.'s song "あの頃に戻れない" with MAY'S are intriguing and full of metaphors. The opening lines, "born in the stable with nothing to do we make a game out of throwing our shoes," talks about how the singer was born and raised in a stable, a place where horses are kept. The phrase "throwing our shoes" is a reference to the game of horseshoes that is often played in stables. The next line, "lead me to water but no to the track," is an expression used to describe a horse being taken to a pond or stream to drink, but not to the racetrack. It implies that the singer did not have the freedom to do what they wanted, but only what was allowed by their situation.

The following lines, "show me the saddle and I'll say hey get off my back," suggest that the singer has had enough of carrying the weight of someone else. It's as if they are pleading to be left alone and have the freedom to do what they want. The phrase "all in favor say nay" is a play on words as the word "nay" is often used to describe a negative vote. In this context, it means that the singer does not want to be controlled anymore. The phrase "we like the flavor of hay" is another metaphor, referring to the comfort and familiarity of being surrounded by horses.

The lines "trapped by the phillies they like me of course they all take my bed yeah I'm a rocking horse" reveal the singer's frustration with being treated as an object or a pet. The line "take my bed" suggests that they are replaced, and the phrase "rocking horse" implies that they are only there to be played with, not taken seriously. The final lines, "may the horse be with you every day" are a reminder that the singer feels trapped in their situation and therefore can relate to the helpless animal, horse.
