Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nani wo motomeru isogiashi
Koi wa ou hodo nigeru dake
Hibi no tankyuushin setsunashugi de
Munesawagi shuushi, aiuchi ni
Gingairo no dangan
Dandandan uchimakurou
Yeh yeh yeh
Kuroageba yamiyo ni mi o kakushite
Mitai mono wa itsu demo mienai no wa naze?
* Repeat
Watashi no kokoro wa eikyuu ni
Sougankyou ni utsuranai hoshi
Ima wa ai to iu yakusoku koto
Tashikamete mitai dake
Hitotsu zutsu fureru koto de
Jiyuu ni nareru
* Repeat
Katase Nana's song "Galaxy" is a fusion of pop and rock that discusses the theme of love in a unique way. The song is about a person who is constantly in search of something to fill the emptiness in their heart, be it love or anything else. The lyrics begin with the sound "Dandandan dodidodidandan" which sets the tone for the song. The first verse talks about the desperate search for something, but as the lyrics progress, it becomes apparent that this emptiness can only be filled by love.
The chorus, "Dandandan dodidodidandan, Gingairo no dangan, Dandandan uchimakurou," talks about the feeling that love shoots straight through the heart like a bullet. The phrase "gingairo no dangan" refers to a silver bullet, which is symbolic of a true love that cannot be intercepted. The second verse addresses the darkness that surrounds the person and the illusion of tangible things. The lines "Kuroageba yamiyo ni mi o kakushite, Mitai mono wa itsu demo mienai no wa naze?" convey the idea that the person has hidden themselves in the dark, but the things they want to see are always out of sight.
The song ends with the lyrics, "Watashi no kokoro wa eikyuu ni, Sougankyou ni utsuranai hoshi. Ima wa ai to iu yakusoku koto, Tashikamete mitai dake" which translates to "My heart is a star that won't reflect in the telescope. Now I just want to confirm the promise I call love, by touching it one by one, and become free." These lyrics express the desire to experience and confirm what love is and to be freed by its power.
