Wild Cherry
MOON CHILD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
街のざわめき すりぬけながら
口笛ふいてた僕等
もう 子ども じゃないんだ
"さよなら"をくりかえして
でもまだ"さよなら"に
飽き足らない僕等は今夜も
新種のHeart break抱えてる
手に入れたとたん
色褪せちゃう ダイアモンド
高邁な精神 乱打して乾杯
踊ろう Be with me
言葉絡みつくリズムまとって
街から街へと駆け抜ける
僕らはstranger
世界の窓辺で夜ごとくり返す
"I love you""I want you"
囁き続けるslider
君は踊り続けるだろう
まるで穢れを知らない
狂喜という名のsoldier
君から始まるR & R Show must
keep on dancin all night long
"荒くれたチェリーを一口どうぞ"
These lyrics depict a sense of nostalgia and growth as the singer reflects on their past while navigating the bustling city streets. The first paragraph sets the scene, with the singer mentioning how they were no longer children and whistle in the breeze, trying to escape from the noise and chaos of the city. They repeat the word "goodbye," indicating a sense of longing or discontent. Despite saying goodbye, they are not satisfied with it and continue to carry a new form of heartbreak within them.
The second paragraph delves into the disappointment and fleeting nature of their desires. They express how they truly wanted something, but as soon as they obtained it, it lost its shine like a fading diamond. The mentioning of a "noble spirit" suggests that they attempted to rise above their circumstances or reach for something greater, but it only led to chaos and the need for celebration as they toast to their actions. The invitation to dance together emphasizes a desire for connection and escape from their reality.
In the third paragraph, the lyrics paint a picture of the singer and their companions being strangers as they journey from one city to another. They describe repeating the phrases "I love you" and "I want you" as whispers, possibly indicating a longing for intimacy or validation. The use of "slider" implies a slick or smooth-talking personality who continues to dance and entertain, while the singer acknowledges that the person they are addressing will continue to dance and enjoy life without knowing impurity or corruption. The reference to a "soldier" suggests that the person they are talking about embodies ecstasy and excitement, leading to the start of a rock and roll show that must continue.
The final paragraph brings a touch of metaphor into the lyrics. The singer offers a "rough cherry" to be tasted, symbolizing the invitation to experience something unpredictable or unconventional. This line could also reflect an urge to let go, embrace spontaneity, and indulge in pleasures without inhibition. Overall, the lyrics of "Wild Cherry" capture a mix of longing, disillusionment, and an urge for freedom, painted through evocative imagery and emotions.
