バンビ
Plastic Tree Lyrics

The lyrics of バンビ by Plastic Tree depict a sense of longing and escapism from reality. The opening lines express the singer's struggle to detach themselves from their fantastical and idealistic mindset. They feel trapped in a cycle, unable to break free from the puzzle of wisdom. The singer reveals that they have fantasized and drawn all their desires in a notebook, but their emotions are still like a wound-up spring, ready to burst into tears. They admit that they often create endings to escape from the hardships of reality.

The second verse introduces a metaphorical journey, where the singer finds themselves drifting in the deep sea while riding the Tokyo Metro. In this state of confusion, they question the significance of their existence. They reflect on a past love with a mermaid that turned out to be fleeting and momentary. The singer recalls a moment when someone humorously laughed at the idea of eternity. They acknowledge their bittersweet memories and realize that those memories are not entirely sad but rather beautifully dazzling. The wish is for those days to never end.

In the final verse, the singer admits to constantly wanting and seeking things, realizing that they are surrounded by an insatiable desire for more. They feel lost and unable to find their way, but there are important things that they still need to believe in and strive for. They understand that their purpose and value lie in embracing those things. The song concludes with a hopeful and somewhat unresolved longing, expressing the desire to find happiness and fulfillment someday.
