MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
割った虚像
となりであの子が泣いて
どこかで誰かが泣いてる
ここでわたしはなにを思おう
擦れ合う音が聞こえるな
昨日まで広がって
昨日まで広がって
世界が終わるイメージも
明日に向かうイメージも
きみが歌うあの歌も
なぜだろう、思い出せないんだ
「理想だって、無謀だっていいよ」
なんて
いいよ、だって
ぼくたちの思いはさ 立ち込める 裏腹に
ぼくたちの思いをさ 書き留めよう 裏側に
The lyrics to MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS's song ハイライト speak of lost images and shattered illusions. The singer hears the sound of friction and perhaps conflict nearby, yet struggles to find meaning in their own thoughts. The lyrics invoke both the end of the world and the hope that tomorrow will come. But the singer cannot remember a song that once held significance.
The line "理想だって、無謀だっていいよ" ("Idealistic or reckless--it's fine") offers a sense of freedom and acceptance amid the confusion. The singer's thoughts and feelings are in conflict, but they resolve to write them down and keep them hidden. Overall, the song seems to be about facing uncertainty and seeking comfort in the physical presence of others, even amidst emotional turmoil.
