更新されてんの? 半径数メートル未満の世界でさ
ただ 理解らされただけでさ
正しさも無料じゃなくてさ
あなたならば 或いは また 空回りしたんだった
行間から溢れ出してる大体の一切が読解されないまま
繋がらない想いだけ募ってつまんないな
肯定しないだけのマジョリティ
表裏一体なことばかりじゃないの?
正体不明なままでもいい
あからさまな言葉で 造形しただけのリアリティ
どうしたって擦れ違う 擦れ違う
自他境界すら侵食する正当性と!
水銀のように漂う
(また繰り返すことを恐れて) (不可視化される狂騒を経て)
確かなことばかりだ
また 理解らされて終わりだ
ただ 振りかざされただけだ
あなたならば 或いは
また 空回りしたみたいだった
液状化する感情が流れ落ちるその先にまた
広がるのは停滞する諦念の海
沈んでったみたいだ
行間から溢れ出してる大体の一切が読解されなくたって
繋がらない想いばかりじゃないだろう
それだけじゃないだろう
正解不正解以外だらけの僕を
肯定しないだけのマジョリティ
表裏一体なことばかりじゃないの
正体不明なままでもいい
あからさまな言葉じゃ
伝え切れない僕のリアリティ
表裏一体 波打つ声だけ
ただ そこに響き渡っていた
正解不正解以外だらけの僕を
肯定したい それだけがしたい
どうしたって欲しいのさ 欲しいのさ
ただ共振する共鳴する瞬間 ずっと
These lyrics in Rain Drops' song "Formula" discuss the struggle of being constantly misunderstood and the desire for validation and understanding.
The first verse reflects on the difficulty of expressing oneself in a world where opinions are constantly debated and where the ideal source is constantly questioned. The lyrics question whether the ideals and beliefs expressed are being updated or still stuck in a small and limited perspective. The frustration arises from feeling that one's understanding and correctness are disregarded and not taken seriously. The lyrics suggest that even though someone may appear to understand or resonate, they may just be going around in circles without any real connection.
The second verse highlights the complexity of life and the idea that there is more to things than just right or wrong answers. The lyrics indicate that it's okay to not fully understand or know someone's true nature, as long as there is honesty in the words and a sense of reality created through them. However, there is a recognition that even with clear and direct communication, it seems difficult to avoid misunderstandings and clashes. The lyrics touch on the idea of boundaries being invaded and a sense of legitimacy being eroded.
The bridge uses the metaphor of mercury, which often appears fluid and elusive, to describe the feeling of floating and not being able to escape repetition and chaos. It suggests that the fear of repeating mistakes or the fear of being invisible is a constant struggle.
In the third verse, the lyrics acknowledge the sense of frustration and resignation that comes from continuously being made to understand or accept things. It expresses feeling powerless and being merely waved around without any real impact. There is a suggestion that the listener may have experienced a similar feeling of going around in circles without any real progress.
The final part of the song speaks to the emotional turmoil that exists beyond the surface. It describes a sense of stagnation and resignation, comparing it to a sea of despair. The lyrics question whether all the thoughts overflowing and not being understood are solely negative, implying that there might be more to them.
Overall, these lyrics convey the frustration of feeling misunderstood and the longing for validation and understanding in a world that often lacks nuance and depth. The song suggests that true connection and resonance can only be achieved through genuine understanding and affirmation, beyond simply right or wrong answers.
