空き地
People In The Box Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
空き地のまんなかに立つ
少し前は駐車場だった
その前はなんだったけ
こはもうすぐ洒落た家が建つらしい
もぐらは引越しの支度で忙しい
空き地のまんなかに立っている
ここはもうすぐ高い家が建つらしい
東京も冷え込んできた
人気物件ありますか？
おでんを家で作ろう
翌日が美味しいよね
The lyrics of People In The Box's song 空き地 talk about an empty plot of land in the center of a city. The singer stands in the middle of the empty plot and ponders about the history of the land. They mention that just a little while ago, it used to be a parking lot, but they can't recall what it was before that. The singer goes on to say that soon a fancy house is going to be built there and a mole is busy preparing to move out of the land. The song then mentions that Tokyo is getting colder and inquires about any popular properties in the area.
The lyrics evoke a sense of transience and the ever-changing nature of the cityscape. The empty plot of land serves as a metaphor for the fleeting quality of life, with things constantly being constructed and torn down, making way for newer things. The singer stands in the middle of it all, contemplating the past, present, and future.
