September
Ken Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

思い出したくない夏が終わる
鏡を見つめる時間が積もり
ナイフ遊びが
もう過ぎて
屋根の端に立って
下を見ている
もう似合わない
もう元に戻せない
セピアに薄れた
写真のように
自分の気持ちしか見えない
山の手が揺り籠のように
心地よかった過去に
らせんを絵描く
もう少しで夜が明ける
まだ絵葉書にかけるほどすら
言葉がない
崖の端に君が立った二月
眠気と薬に負けた四月
手首に残った五月
Somewhere on a bus to Vegas
I lost June
Awoke in the arms of 
The numb July
Then August came
Morose and slow
But the Sadness no longer dulls
The distance I must fall
I'm alone to sink or swim
Through another black September
もう似合わない
もう元に戻せない
セピアに薄れた
写真のように
自分の気持ちしか見えない
自分の記憶から
逃げられない
壊れやすさを
抱いて寝ても
そこに温もりはない
金のために理想を売って
若さで明日を買いながら
屋根の端に立って下を見ている
屋根の端に立って下を見ている
もう似合わない
もう元に戻せない
セピアに薄れた
写真のように
自分の気持ちしか見えない
もう似合わない
もう元に戻せない
セピアに薄れた




写真のように
自分の気持ちしか見えない

Overall Meaning

The song "September" by Ken captures the essence of the fall season, as the nights grow colder and autumn is slowly drawing to a close. The singer in the song seems to be yearning for the familiarity of home and wants to make it there before sundown. The imagery of traveling from station to station, searching for a song with an old familiar line, suggests that the singer is trying to find some sort of comfort or solace in their journey. However, they are getting lost in the radio, trying to find their way back home, which highlights the uncertainty and confusion they are experiencing.


The second half of the song introduces another character, a woman who has packed her bags for California to pursue her dreams of fame and success in Hollywood. Despite climbing the hills and making it to the top of the famous Hollywood sign, she too is lost and trying to find her way back home. The repetition of the phrase "trying to find her way back home" emphasizes the theme of longing for familiarity and comfort in a world of uncertainty and change.


Overall, the song "September" by Ken is a beautiful and poignant representation of the human experience. It captures the emotions of restlessness, longing, and homesickness that many people can relate to, especially during the autumn season when change and transition are in the air.

Do you remember
The 21st night of September?
Love was changing the mind of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night
Remember, how the stars stole the night away, yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus 1]
Hey hey hey
Ba-dee Ya, say do you remember
Ba-dee Ya, dancing in September
Ba-dee Ya, never was a cloudy day

[Bridge]
Ba duda, ba duda, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda

[Verse 2]
My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love
Remember, how we knew love was here to stay
Now December found the love that we shared in September
Only blue talk and love
Remember, the true love we share today

[Chorus]
Hey hey hey
Ba-dee Ya, say do you remember?
Ba-dee Ya, dancing in September
Ba-dee Ya, never was a cloudy day

Ba-dee Ya, (dee ya dee ya) dancing in September
Ba-dee Ya, (dee ya dee ya) golden dreams were shiny days (Ahhhhhh)

[Verse 3]
The bell was ringing
Our souls were singing
Do you remember every cloudy day (Yow)

[Chorus 2]
There was a

Ba-dee Ya, (dee ya dee ya) dancing in September
Ba-dee Ya, (dee ya dee ya) never was a cloudy day

Ba-dee Ya, (dee ya dee ya) dancing in September
Ba-dee Ya, (dee ya dee ya) golden dreams were shiny days
