MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

名前はないと形もないと
わたしの愛と哀訴境の葛藤

〜〜ギターー〜〜

重なっていたいといないと
かさむ、日ごとに
わたしの愛と哀訴境の葛藤

おおおおーー

今日は帰ろう、歩いて帰ろう
目の前には赤い歩道が見えるな

おおおおーー
〜〜ギターー〜〜
おおおおーー

〜〜ギターー〜〜

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS's song なんなん express a sense of conflicted emotions and desires. The opening lines state that there is no name and no shape to these feelings, but they are the singer's love and plea. The following lines describe a conflict between wanting to be with someone and not being able to, and how this internal struggle is becoming more intense with each passing day. The repetition of the word "葛藤" (conflict) emphasizes the central theme of the song.

The chorus changes the focus to the present moment, with the singer deciding to walk home and noticing a red crosswalk in front of them. This sudden shift in perspective suggests that the singer is trying to ground themselves in the present rather than getting lost in their conflicting feelings. The final guitar riff emphasizes this moment of clarity.

Overall, the lyrics of なんなん convey a sense of emotional turmoil and confusion, but with a glimmer of hope at the end. The singer is struggling with intense feelings for someone, but is trying to find a way to move forward and live in the present.
