遊泳禁止の貼り紙をスルー
朝の灯りを持ち出す
僕は寝間着のままのシスター
口約束でも裏切らない
十と数分の間に象った信用のせい
あと二度だけ転生 伝統よなんて美しい
君と僕とは合わない 僕が正しい なあ
誘う 誘う 誘う 誘う
何も知らない君を連れて
揺蕩う 揺蕩う 揺蕩う 揺蕩う
あの街へは戻れない
乗り込んだあしどりはワンウェイ
かまわないと笑う冥王星
ひいていく波のまにまに
今ハーメルンの音がしたんだ
冬の桜は散って もう何も言わないで
皮膚を伝う感覚がなくなっていく
頭だけが冴えきっている
賢い僕には手にとるようにわかるのさ
したり顔で即席 よからぬ賞賛のせい
睨まれても治らない 僕は忙しいんだ
後悔じゃ足しにならない 洗脳よなんて愚かしい
君と僕とは合わない 僕が正しい
誘う 誘う 誘う 誘う
何も知らない君を連れて
揺蕩う 揺蕩う 揺蕩う 揺蕩う
あの街へは戻れない
乗り込んだあしどりはワンウェイ
どうしてと縋る天王星
ひいていく夜のまにまに
今ハーメルンの音がしたんだ
音がしたから
The lyrics to Reol's song "Hameln" depict a sense of yearning and desire to escape from one's current circumstances. The singer is portrayed as someone who is willing to go against the rules, ignoring signs prohibiting swimming, and stealing the light of the morning to take with them. They are clad in their sleepwear, perhaps symbolizing vulnerability or a desire for comfort.
There is a mention of trust that has been built within ten to twenty minutes, hinting at a fleeting and superficial connection. The pain experienced by the singer doesn't seem worth the effort they put into it, as they claim to be busy. The idea of reincarnation is mentioned, but the singer only has two more chances, emphasizing a sense of urgency and the limitations they feel.
The singer believes they are right and that they don't fit with the other person mentioned in the song. The repetition of the word "invite" suggests the singer's desire to bring someone unaware into their world. They mention being unable to return to a certain city and describe their journey as one-way. The mocking response from Pluto, referred to as the god of the underworld, is portrayed as being unbothered by the singer's disregard for consequences.
The lyrics also explore a feeling of detachment and numbness. The singer speaks of cherry blossoms falling in winter, displaying a sense of loss and silence. They mention losing the sense of touch, having only their mind remain sharp. This cleverness allows them to understand things easily.
The song "Hameln" by Reol incorporates themes of rebellion, longing for escape, alienation, and a desire for validation. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is willing to break the rules and betray promises to find their own path. They are convinced of their own righteousness, but also feel the burden of their choices and the limitations of their existence. Overall, the song captures a complex mix of emotions and a sense of yearning for something more.
Line by Line Meaning
I beg you, take me away, ooh, ah
I plead with you to rescue me from this situation
Ignoring the 'no swimming' sign
Disregarding the rules and limitations imposed on me
Taking the morning light with me
Bringing the hope and optimism of a new day
I am a sister in my sleepwear
Presenting myself in an unguarded and vulnerable state
Even with only a verbal promise, I won't betray
My words are sincere and I will keep my word
The trust I carefully built within ten or so minutes
The trust I invested so much time and effort in
The pain isn't worth it, I am busy
The pain I receive in return is not worth the effort, I have other responsibilities
I will be reborn only twice more, tradition is beautiful
I have limited opportunities for change, but traditions are still meaningful
You and I don't match, I am right, you know
Our personalities and beliefs are incompatible, I am confident in my stance
Inviting, inviting, inviting, inviting
I am enticing, persuading, and seducing
Leading you, who knows nothing
Guiding you through a world you are unfamiliar with
Swaying, swaying, swaying, swaying
Drifting aimlessly and unable to return to that town
The bird I boarded is one-way
The opportunity I took is irreversible and without return
Laughing and not caring, Pluto
Pluto, symbolizing the ruler of the underworld, finds amusement and dismisses consequences
At the mercy of the receding waves
Caught up and carried away by the ebbing tides
Now I hear the sound of Hameln
I am now aware of the call of Hameln, the beckoning temptation
The winter cherry blossoms have fallen, don't say anything anymore
The fleeting beauty has passed, there is nothing left to discuss
The sensation fading from my skin
The feeling and connection slipping away from me
Only my mind remains sharp
Only my thoughts are clear and unaffected
As an intelligent person, I understand things easily
Being intelligent, I am able to comprehend and grasp things effortlessly
Because of the impromptu and unworthy praises I receive
Due to the insincere and undeserving compliments I am given
Even when stared at, it won't heal, I am busy
Even when criticized or scrutinized, I remain unaffected as I have other important matters to attend to
Regret won't add anything, brainwashing is foolish
Feeling remorse won't change the outcome, brainwashing is a foolish concept
You and I don't match, I am right
Our perspectives and values clash, I firmly believe I am correct
Inviting, inviting, inviting, inviting
I am enticing, persuading, and seducing
Leading you, who knows nothing
Guiding you through a world you are unfamiliar with
Swaying, swaying, swaying, swaying
Drifting aimlessly and unable to return to that town
The bird I boarded is one-way
The opportunity I took is irreversible and without return
Why, cling to Uranus
Why do I desperately hold on to Uranus, seeking answers
At the mercy of the receding night
Caught up and carried away by the fading darkness
Now I hear the sound of Hameln
I am now aware of the call of Hameln, the beckoning temptation
Because I heard the sound
