Rapture
Poplica* Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
四角く縁取られている
そんな小さな箱庭
住人はひとり
神など必要ないから
あらゆる結末が
ランダムに引き出される
ひとつしか辿りつけない
生を貫くことを 恐れ立ち竦むなら
それは人間の証
髪を振り乱しても
行く先を見失わないよう
ぼくらは 走ってゆく
世界のすべてが 腕の中にあるって
勘違いしていた頃は
きっと幸せな気分
無限に広がる 余白のこと
知らないから
あらゆる始まりは
ミクロの宇宙戦争
複雑な回路を描き膨らんだ
だからこそ
人は仲間を求めて
底知れぬ相手と戦うのだろう
生を貫くことは 決して簡単じゃない
君は考えつづける
足を踏み外しても
落ちる地の底なんてないから
ぼくらは 手をつないだ
The song "Rapture" by Poplica* feat. 市松椿 is a powerful and reflective piece about the complexity of life, seeking one's place in the world, and the importance of connection with others. The lyrics describe a miniature world within one's grasp, with a single resident who doesn't require a god or higher power. The possibilities for outcomes in life are presented as random and unpredictable, with only one path endgame to reach in the end.
The theme of the song is that, in spite of the uncertainties and difficulties of life, one should not be afraid to embrace it fully and passionately. Even if we lose our way, we can still move forward, constantly seeking, and finding the camaraderie with others that helps us to fight against the unknowns of life. The power of this message is embodied in the final line of the song, where the singer says, "we take each other's hands." This line underscores the value of human connection, and the importance of reaching out to those around us.
Overall, the song's lyrics and theme invite the listener to take stock of their life and find the strength within themselves to be brave in the face of adversity, while also finding comfort in the bonds we can form with others.
