ひきずるビート
MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
死んでしまったように
足を止めずにどこへ行くのか
ここがどこかも分からないまま
加速していくだけのビートに
いま、消えそうだよ
見とれていたのは誰?
外は雨だって
きみは泣いていたけれど
染まる青さに
ぼくはいま、嗚咽をもらしていたんだ
あの日みたいに
濁った街や人に見とれていた
わたしが見たのは
ひどい色に染まっていた
わたしだった
The lyrics to "ひきずるビート" by MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS reflect feelings of disillusionment and disorientation. The words describe a sense of being lost and disconnected from the world, with the line "みんなどこか遠く死んでしまったように" suggesting a feeling of detachment from other people. The singer feels like they are being pulled along by an accelerating beat, with no sense of direction or purpose. They are on the brink of disappearing into the music.
The second verse introduces the contrast between the singer's emotional state and the world around them. The "dull city" and its inhabitants catch their attention, but the singer wonders who they were really looking at. The rain outside and the blue tint of the world add to the melancholic atmosphere, with the singer recalling a past moment of emotional pain. The lyrics reveal that what the singer was really looking at was themselves, and they were stained with a terrible color.
Overall, "ひきずるビート" expresses a profound sense of disconnection and isolation, with the singer struggling to find meaning or purpose in the world around them.
