Rowan

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
僕の中に君を創り上げた
退屈を飼い慣らした 色のないこの街で
誰でもない誰かになりたかった
見上げた空の狭さにも慣れた
今では僕だけが立ち止まって
馬鹿げたこと言うなよって笑ってくれよ
分かりあってるつもりになって
いつの間にかすれ違って
だけど僕ら何処へも行けなくて
思いあってるつもりになって
いつの間にか傷つけあって
痛みだけでも君に残したかった
淡い期待 あとどれくらい
苦い誓い 消えないまま
君に触れたい 誰も知らない
少しの後悔 抱きしめたまま
形あるものを欲しがって 大事なこと見失って
正しさなんか ただのひとつだって
要らなかったはずなのに
飽きるほどに求めあって 理由もなく悲しくなって
気づいた時にはもう帰れなかった
分かりあってるつもりになって
いつの間にかすれ違って
だけど僕ら何処へも行けなくて
思いあってるつもりになって
いつの間にか傷つけあって
痛みだけでも君に残したかった
The lyrics of the song "Rowan" by Official髭男dism talk about a person who is looking back on their past memories and experiences with someone they loved. The opening lines describe how the memories of that person have become a source of comfort for the singer. They go on to say that they have created an image of that person within themselves as a way to cope with their absence. They express their desire to be someone important to anyone in a colorless town where they feel bored and listless without their loved one.
The second verse goes on to describe how the singer has become used to the narrowness of the sky they once used to gaze at with their loved one. They now stand alone and can't help but make silly remarks about their situation while holding onto the sentiment that all would have been good if their loved one was still with them. The chorus of the song talks about how they thought they understood each other but ended up being strangers in each other's presence. They talk about how they hurt each other without realizing and now all they want is to leave something behind for their former lover. The bridge talks about how their hopes and promises have turned into something bitter that lingers on. They express their longing to touch the person who nobody else knows about and hold onto the little regrets they have.
