ORIGINAL LOVE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
窓の外 都市のざわめき
聞こえるようさ
右に左にイルミネーション
滲んで流れ過ぎてゆく
流星が意味ありげに見えて消えた
smile 夜の広がりに
散って和らいでゆく この気持ち
少しだけゆっくりと帰る道
夜のフィルムに瞬く
銀河ステーションの下
東京タワーは静かに輝き盛り
淡く高層ビルの隣
ケンタウルスが浮かび出て
賑わうダンス・ホール 見ているよ
smile 無敵の想いを
映して消えてゆく都市の夢
ああ 家路を楽しみ
流星エキスプレスウエイ 走って
smile 夜の広がりに
散って和らいでゆく この気持ち
ああ 君の待つ家へ
少しだけゆっくりと帰る道
The lyrics of "流星都市" ("Meteor City") describe a nighttime drive on the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway, a high-speed urban highway that circles the city. The singer takes a circuitous route, watching the illuminated cityscape pass by outside the car window. The bustling city noise can be heard faintly, and the lights of the buildings and streetlamps blur and stream past. The sight of a shooting star catches the singer's attention, even though it disappears quickly. Despite the chaos of the urban environment, the singer feels a sense of calm and peace as they smile and think of the person waiting for them at home. The night and the lights of Tokyo inspire a sense of wonder, as the city becomes a dreamscape in the singer's mind.
