Ate naku tadayou traffic jam
Machi wa muchitsujo sosogu ame wa acid rain
Asu he no kuuseki mo naku
Mayoeru bokura wa yumemiteru electric ship
Iku kuru ka shire nai akogare no toki
Kusuburu kanjou wa, tada damatte matterare nai.

Miageta nara yozora o kiri saite
Kake noboru jet bokura o michibiku
Sabi tsuita hane wa mada kuchi hatecha inai
Yatsu yori atsui hoeageru tamashii
Saa mezamero next age

Mussu ni zoushoku suru trap
Hitotsu misureba warai toba sare delete
Mirai wa kasouteki kuukan e
Kekkyoku tashika na mono wa kono omoi dake sa.
Nagameru bakari no moe iku honoo
Bou ni furu chansu o tada damatte matterrre nai.

Miageta nara yozora o kiri saite
Kake noboru jet bokura o michibiku
Shinjiru mama hashire kitto mada maniau
Hane agaru speed kesshite nogasa nai
Saa tobi nore next age.

Tsukaisuterare tatte mikaeshite yaru sa
Zero kara no jiyuu wo torikonda saikyou no monster

Maki agatta gouon ni mamirete byouyomi no start
Kodou ni awasete say three two one go
Kimi ga miageta nara takaku kake noboru jet
Bokura ga tabidatsu

Saa tobinore space age
You viritual generation

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to L'ArcЃ`enЃ`Ciel's song NEXUS 4 paint a picture of a chaotic and overwhelming world, with references to traffic jams, acid rain, and a lack of direction. The chorus encourages the listener to look up to the sky and aim for the stars, to have faith in oneself and to keep moving forward towards the unknown. The verse speaks of feeling stuck and overwhelmed with emotions, unable to voice or express them, but still yearning for something more - an "electric ship" to take them away from the confines of their current life.


The song seems to be a call to action, urging the listener to break free from the mundane and the monotonous and to take a leap of faith into the unknown. It acknowledges the difficulties and hardships of life, but ultimately encourages perseverance and the drive to achieve something greater. The tone of the song is energetic and electrifying, fitting for a song that speaks of pushing boundaries and exploring new horizons.

当てなく漂うトラフィック
ジャム街は無秩序注ぐ雨はアシッド レイン
明日への空席も無く
迷える僕等は夢見てるエレクトリック シープ

何時来るか知れない憧れの時燻る感情は
ただ黙って待ってられない

見上げたなら夜空を切り裂いて駆け昇るジェット 僕等を導く
錆びついた羽はまだ朽ち果てちゃいない 奴より熱い吠え上げる魂
さあ目覚めろ NEXT AGE

無数に増殖するトラップ1つミスれば笑い飛ばされデリート
未来は仮想的空間へ 結局確かな物はこの想いだけさ

眺めるばかりの燃え行く炎棒に振るチャンスを
ただ黙って待ってられない

見上げたなら夜空を切り裂いて駆け昇るジェット 僕等を導く
信じるまま走れきっとまだ間に合う
跳ね上がるスピード決して逃さない
さあ飛び乗れ NEXT AGE

使い捨てられたって見返してやるさ
0からの自由を取り込んだ最強のMONSTER

捲き上がった轟音にまみれて秒読みのスタート
鼓動に合わせてSAY321GO!
君が見上げたなら高く駆け昇るジェット僕らが旅立つ
さあ飛び乗れSPECE AGE YOU VIRTUAL GENERATION!

Ate naku tadayou "traffic jam"
Machi wa muchitsujo sosogu ame wa "acid rain"
Asu he no kuuseki mo naku
Mayoeru bokura wa yumemiteru "electric ship"
Iku kuru ka shire nai akogare no toki
Kusuburu kanjou wa, tada damatte matterare nai.

Miageta nara yozora o kiri saite
Kake noboru "jet" bokura o michibiku
Sabi tsuita hane wa mada kuchi hatecha inai
Yatsu yori atsui hoeageru tamashii
Saa mezamero "next age"

Mussu ni zoushoku suru trap
Hitotsu misureba warai toba sare delete
Mirai wa kasouteki kuukan e
Kekkyoku tashika na mono wa kono omoi dake sa.
Nagameru bakari no moe iku honoo
Bou ni furu chansu o tada damatte matterrre nai.

Miageta nara yozora o kiri saite
Kake noboru "jet" bokura o michibiku
Shinjiru mama hashire kitto mada maniau
Hane agaru "speed" kesshite nogasa nai
Saa tobi nore "next age".

Tsukaisuterare tatte mikaeshite yaru sa
ZERO kara no jiyuu wo torikonda saikyou no monster

Maki agatta gouon ni mamirete byouyomi no start
Kodou ni awasete say three two one go
Kimi ga miageta nara takaku kake noboru jet
Bokura ga tabidatsu
Saa tobinore "space age"
"You viritual generation"

さいたま2日目、これでもかって位盛り上がりましたこの曲

@堀口学-v9y

4人の絆をテーマにした曲!
TETSUYAさんが高所恐怖症やのに
命綱一本で臨んだMV撮影…
体張ってますね😊

@tmaco5857

自分の人生で一番大きな挫折を感じた2012年、日産スタジアム2日とも行って
Nexus4の曲中で「使い捨てられたって見返してやるさ」という歌詞を口ずさんで、本当に救われた。
就職の時も転職したときも仕事で失敗したときも一番にこの時の光景や全体の歌詞を思い出して自分を奮い立たせてた。

「信じるまま走れきっとまだ間に合う」
自分の人生訓とも言えるべき歌詞。

@山下智-h3x

すっごい素敵な話

@やったねだいきちくん

素敵な話!読んでいてグッときた。

@ciel7001

NEXUS4のPVはほんと大好き!
高いビルの頂上で4人が演奏してて、サビに向けて空が明るくなる。
ラルクっていうバンドが本当に最高で、まさにてっぺんだ!この4人が演奏すれば暗い世界も明るく出来るんだ!って表してくれてる気がして、このPV見る度にラルクを好きでいられて本当によかったって思います!

@lunaspk99

小学生の頃にたしかCDTVでこのPVが流れてこんなイケメン存在するのかって衝撃を受けた。大人になった今でもこの頃のhydeが1番かっこいいと思ってる。

@kyotan3139

それぞれの音の入り方がラルク加入順なのが面白い

@dontcry4033

たまたまかな?

@masahikosatakenx

ラルクらしいシャレの効いたMVだ。
あえての命綱のオフショットを差し込んで合成じゃないアピールとは。
