My Dead Girlfriend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
光がうユーフォーだったら
明日からの日々を
すべて変えてしまう
もしもあの空に浮かぶ
光がうユーフォーだったら
明日からの僕を
もしも震えるように
冷たく笑ったら
僕は何もできない
重なる声が微かに響く
あの子の日々を思い返す
彼女の嘘も笑えるように
慣れればいいのに、なんで
もしもあの空に浮かぶ
光がうユーフォーだったら
明日からの僕を
すべて消してしまう
もしも震えるように
冷たく笑ったら
僕は何もできない
重なる声が微かに響く
あの子の日々を思い返す
彼女の嘘も笑えるように
慣れればいいのに、なんで
The lyrics of "Cattle Mutilation, Strange U.F.O." express a longing to escape from the struggles of everyday life through the appearance of an unidentified flying object (UFO). The singer imagines that if the light in the sky were a UFO, it would change everything for him. He wonders why he can't just get used to his girlfriend's lies and move on. The repetitive nature of the lyrics emphasizes the singer's feelings of being stuck in a cycle of confusion and uncertainty.
The reference to cattle mutilation speaks to the idea of mysterious and potentially threatening forces beyond human control. This sense of powerlessness is reinforced by the singer's acknowledgement that if the UFO were to laugh coldly, there would be nothing he could do. The song is a melancholy reflection on the desire for something otherworldly to come and save us from our problems.
Overall, the song expresses a yearning for something to disrupt the mundane and oppressive aspects of life. It highlights the universal human desire for escapism and the search for meaning beyond the limits of our own existence.

why can't I?
