KOHH Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

MoMA MoMA MoMA...

俺はモダンな男
幸せすぎるよこの頃
忘れちゃう昔のこと
超ちっちゃい世界よりも外
すぐ捨てるいらないモノゴミ箱にポイ
あの人誰かっぽい

そんな事よりも元カノから連絡しつこい
プルル...
また電話がなるでも嫌いじゃない
興味がないこと興味がないから可愛い子と恋愛
嘘じゃないぞまた遊びに行く外国
瘋癲の寅さんみたく男は辛いよ
でも楽しい日々もういらないbitches
なんでもアリ俺の後ろに新しい道
New day New me 毎日有意義に生きてる
めっちゃ自由人
ほら見りゃ分かるよな？

MoMA MoMA MoMA...

俺は形がない目に見えないのが愛
Ohhhhhh たまにはうるさい
まったく意味が分かんないこんなの今までねぇ
アイツもコイツも細かいジャンルに縛られてる
もう歌いたくねえ
本当にそう思ったら辞める
今はやりたいだけ
ファンの為とか誰の為でもないし
勘違いすんじゃねえ生きていく死ぬまで
首にはロープの刺青がある
周りには好きな奴同業者に友達はいらない
馴れ合いも汚い
早く夢を叶えて音楽辞める haha...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of KOHH's song MoMA express the artist's perspective on his modern lifestyle. He sees himself as a modern man who is incredibly happy and has forgotten about his past, which was smaller and less significant than his current life. He is quick to throw away things that he no longer needs or wants, and he doesn't concern himself with anything that doesn't interest him. The artist constantly receives calls from his ex-girlfriend, and although he doesn't hate the attention, he doesn't have any real interest in her either. The artist compares his life to that of the famous character Torasan, who, like him, finds life challenging but enjoyable.

The artist also expresses his views on love as something that is formless and intangible, something that can't be seen but can still be felt. He talks about how some people are tied down by the small details and labels that come with genres like music or careers such as his. He has reached a point where he doesn't understand the meaning behind certain things like noise or some people's labels. He no longer wants to sing or create music because he doesn't feel like he has to do it for anyone or any reason. The tattoo of a rope around his neck is a symbol of his determination to achieve his dreams and not let anyone influence or control his life.
