Swamp
OLDCODEX Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm tired of trying
like carved my name on the wall
錆び付いた chain of chronic grief
さっきまでの偽善
on my cruising lane

hazy breathe
hazy view

hazy moon
in a lonely voice

lazy bones
lazy crush
lazy smile
in wonder

feel so lazy for some reason
erase

刻まれた about 4 meters
物憂げな vanished amid in the crowd
don't you know 暗いあの夜に
why you wanted to see 溢れた事態
can't fall in a rut

afraid of being
blamed for daring deed
made a negative blank statement
燃え尽きた灰の様な
消え去る記憶
on my cruising lane

hazy breathe
hazy view
hazy moon
in a lonely voice

lazy bones
lazy crush
lazy smile
in wonder

feel so lazy for some reason
erase

刻まれた about 4 meters
物憂げな vanished amid in the crowd
don't you know 暗いあの夜に
why you wanted to see 溢れた事態
can't fall in a rut

固く閉ざす扉開いて
and caught in lazy flash
just caught in hazy flash

嫌われたこの夜に
無機質な音が響く
don't you know
why you wanted to see
紛れてる光の群れ

vanished amid in the crowd
just 0 meter
物憂げな顔を捨てて
don't you know
why wanted to see me

今すぐに方を付けろ
can't fall in a rut

Overall Meaning

The opening lines portray a sense of futility as the singer describes the act of trying as akin to carving their name on a wall that will ultimately be forgotten. The mention of a "chain of chronic grief" suggests a pattern of negativity that has weighed the singer down for some time. The phrase "cruising lane" evokes a feeling of aimless drifting rather than purposeful movement towards a destination.

The rest of the lyrics describe various states of haziness, laziness, and wonder, with the singer seeming to drift in and out of consciousness. The repeated refrain of "lazy bones, lazy crush, lazy smile" reinforces the sense of lethargy and listlessness. The references to memories and vanishing faces in the crowd suggest a longing for connection and a desire to escape the monotonous routine.

Overall, the lyrics to Swamp paint a vivid picture of a person stuck in a swamp of emotional numbness and disconnection, seeking a way out but feeling too exhausted to take action.
