Drive
Kinokoteikoku Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
消える
揺れる
笑う
きみの寝顔
冬の真夜中
明日までこのままで
触れる
止まる
とばす
さらう
なにもいらないの
冬の裏切り
今夜だけそばにいて
目を閉じて、抱きしめて
明日までこのままで
目を開けて、最後だけ
浮かぶ
消える
冬の真夜中
The lyrics to Kinokoteikoku's song Drive in 2-3 are poetic and emotive, capturing the feeling of a winter night. The first verse describes the gentle movements of the singer's lover, who is peacefully sleeping beside them. The words "floating," "disappearing," and "swaying" paint a picture of a dreamlike state. The mention of the "winter midnight" creates a sense of stillness and quietness.
The chorus is a plea to stay in the moment and not let the night end. The singer wants to keep their eyes closed and their lover close, feeling each other's touch and presence. The mention of the "winter betrayal" suggests that the cold and dark night might foreshadow an eventual separation or heartbreak.
In the second verse, the singer longs to stop time and escape from reality. They want to forget about everything else and just be with their lover. The words "touch," "stop," "fly," and "sweep away" imply a desire for freedom and escape.
Overall, the lyrics to Drive in 2-3 capture the ephemeral nature of love and the desire to stay in a moment forever. The winter night serves as a metaphor for the passing of time and the eventual separation that may come.
