東京タワー見えなかったっけ?
あの頃の僕は勘違いしてたよ
世界のそのすべて見てると自惚れた
君が少しだけ前髪を切っても
誰より先に僕は気づいた (言い訳みたいに)
寂しさが溢れるから そばにいて欲しいよ
都合いいかな
記憶の断片を 真実より美しく補正して
そんなこともあったと いつの日か語りたい
残酷なくらい ありのままの現実を見せようか? (悲しくなる)
僕たちの別れと 答え合わせをした未来
正面の空に 確か東京タワー
僕らと並んで立っていた気がした
別のロケーションと勘違いしたのか
帰りの商店街の道 (僕の思い込み)
誰も悪くはないと 言いたくて (ただの運命)
ここからは見えなかった 愛が今 浮かんだ
幻みたいに
確かにこの腕 抱きしめてた君だけは嘘じゃない
振り返れば美化され 飾られた昔でも
自分で何度も 書き直した思い出が切なくて (いつの間にか)
偽りはどこかが わからなくなってしまった
愚かな結末
記憶の断片を 真実より美しく補正して
そんなこともあったと いつの日か語りたい
残酷なくらい ありのままの現実を見せようか? (悲しくなる)
僕たちの別れと 答え合わせをした未来
The lyrics of Keyakizaka46's song "Tokyotower Ha Dokokaramieru?" express a nostalgic exploration of past memories and the bittersweet realization of the truth. The song starts by recalling a moment on a pedestrian bridge, questioning whether the Tokyo Tower was visible from there in the past. The singer admits to having a misconception about themselves, believing they could see everything in the world and feeling self-absorbed. However, they claim to have been the first to notice even the slightest change in the person they love, like a haircut, as if it were an excuse.
The song then delves into the vulnerability and unpredictability of love, describing it as easily swayed and whimsical. The singer expresses their desire for the person they love to be by their side because of the overflowing loneliness they feel. They wonder if it is convenient for the other person to be with them. Memories are interpreted and enhanced to be more beautiful than the truth, and the singer hopes to share these fragmented memories someday. They contemplate whether to reveal the harsh reality as it is or accept it sadly. The lyrics also mention the idea of looking back at the separation between them and finding answers in the future, suggesting a longing for closure and resolution.
Overall, "Tokyotower Ha Dokokaramieru?" reflects on the complexities of love, the illusions we create to protect ourselves from painful truths, and the desire to reconcile with the past and find solace in the future.
