僕らのユリイカ
NMB48 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

いつもの「青」より
もっと深い「青」だ
湾の内側の海は
色を変え生きる
なぜ 恋人たちは

ここまで来るのだろう?
愛を囁くには波音が必要?
原付バイクを飛ばして
家まで帰る道筋

わざと山側を選んで来た
そういう目で君を見ない
僕らのユリイカ 発見したんだ
ずっと近くにいたのに
初めての感情

夏の太陽に目を細めた時
君のことをキレイだと思った

多くの事実は
そこに隠れている

ただの友達の境
潮の流れ次第
なぜ 大人になると

正直になれないの?
愛の告白には砂浜が最適
2台のバイクが並んで
国道からのわき道
海に行こうって言い出したのは
どっちが先だってよかった
僕らのユリイカ 思わず叫んだ
まさか同じ気持ちを持ち始めたこと
分かったこれだと ピンと来たその時
ギリシャの言葉 思い出したんだ

僕らのユリイカ 発見したんだ
ずっと近くにいたのに
初めての感情




夏の太陽に目を細めた時
君のことをキレイだと思った

Overall Meaning

The song "Bokura no Yuriika" by NMB48 talks about the discovery of romantic feelings between two friends. The first verse describes the sea inside the bay, where the color changes and it's deeper than the usual blue. It questions why lovers come to such places where they whisper love amid the sound of the waves. The second verse talks about riding a scooter to go back home, and intentionally choosing the mountain side of the road, to avoid looking at the person beside them. Then the chorus describes the moment of the realization of their feelings, and how they discovered each other and saw something new in each other. The bridge refers to the hidden truth behind the situation of "just friends" and how it can change like the tide's direction, and questions why it's hard for adults to be honest about their feelings. The last verse talks about them riding two scooters side by side and deciding to go to the beach, realizing they share the same feelings and understanding each other better.


The song's lyrics use a metaphor of the sea and the waves to represent the depth and changes in their relationship. It also alludes to the mythology of the "Squid and Cuttlefish Story" in Greek mythology, which explains the origin of the Milky Way, the galaxy where Earth resides. The two characters, the nymphs Callisto and Arcas, are transformed into a bear and a squid, respectively. However, they are able to recognize each other when they meet again and are eventually placed in the sky together as constellations.
