胡蝶の夢
Lä-ppisch Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

目の前を足早に駆けてく鼓動落陽の赤
肩越しに君の瞳(め)が途切れた瞬間閃光花火

あぁ夢は何処へ行ったのでしょう
あぁ人の刹那の命泡沫(うたかた) 夜明けは胡蝶の夢

夕映えに幾千の言霊(ことだま) 群れ遊ぶ解き放て想い彷徨う
彼(か)の岸へ渡す船燦々(さんさん)降り注げ花吹雪桜色に染まる

日だまりに佇んだ小さな背中思い出して
もう一度ただ一度願うそれだけ咲かない花に

あぁ笑顔何処へ行ったのでしょう
あぁ誰も刹那の命かりそめ夜明けは胡蝶の夢

届かない届けたいあの日の花の香を
人は皆涙し生きる

根を張って仰ぎ見て険しき道をゆけ
空に咲く雄々(おお)しき人の夢

夕映えに幾千の言霊群れ遊ぶ解き放て想い彷徨う
彼の岸へ渡す船燦々降り注げ花吹雪桜色に染まる

彼の岸へ渡せ胡蝶の夢

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to LÄ-PPISCH's "胡蝶の夢" describe a fleeting moment of intense emotion, where the singer's heart is pounding as they run towards an undefined destination. As the sun sets in the sky, they catch a glimpse of their lover's eyes, and in that moment, everything seems to explode into a brilliant and overwhelming sensory experience - a "flash bomb" of light and color that feels like a cascade of fireworks.

The song's chorus repeats the phrase "where did the dream go?" as a melancholy reflection on the transience of life and the fleeting nature of human existence. Against the backdrop of a beautiful and fleeting cherry blossom season, the singer feels wistful and nostalgic for moments that have already passed, and they express a sense of longing for a world that is constantly slipping away.

Through vivid imagery and poetic language, "胡蝶の夢" captures the bittersweet beauty of life - a fleeting and precious thing that we must cherish even as it slips through our fingers.
