Nazo Nazo
Kikagaku Moyo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
真ん中の人現れる時
何にもなくて挟まれてゆく
まん丸の人現れる時
感じてるのは同じ時に
外にいた人聞いてみて
感じてるのは同じ時に
かすんでくのは回るひと時
はみ出してゆくなんとなくでも
辞める時には周りにも聞く
曇りの中に消えてゆく時
感じてるのは同じ時に
珍しい人聞いてみて
感じてるのは同じ時に
端にいた人聞いてみて
The lyrics to Kikagaku Moyo's song "Nazo Nazo" depict a mysterious and introspective scenario. The first two lines reveal that there is no light in this intriguing situation. As the scene unfolds, a person appears in the midst of others, symbolizing a moment of revelation or significance. The lyrics suggest that this person is nothing special, yet they are being surrounded by others. Additionally, the lyrics mention a round person appearing at a certain time, possibly representing someone who stands out despite being ordinary.
The next lines express that the feeling is shared among those who are outside of this situation, encouraging them to listen and pay attention. By emphasizing the simultaneous experience of this event, the lyrics convey a sense of interconnectedness among different individuals.
The following lines introduce a blurry passing of time. Despite feeling uncertain, there is a sense of gradually moving forward, even without a clear destination. When it comes time to leave, the lyrics suggest that the person seeks input from their surroundings before making a decision. As they fade away into the cloudy and ambiguous moments, the lyrics imply a sense of departure or disappearance.
Overall, "Nazo Nazo" explores themes of mystery, perception, and the connection between individuals. It invites listeners to reflect on the inexplicable moments that occur in life and the shared experiences that connect us all.

@AlmostLeroy
You mean the music made on your generation, not the music of.
@teenagepills7857
I really don't agree there@AlmostLeroy , This is not the music of 60s, its heavily influenced by it, but Kikagaku Moyo is now, not past.
@eMaBr4life95Xlegendx
Well said.
@maxsmart9116
@AlmostLeroy Nope the music of your generation is whatever YOU are listening to during your coming of age that impacts you and leaves lasting memories.
