神様になった日
Reol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
ちょっと言い過ぎたかもなって
後悔したってもう遅い
僕と君を繋ぐ見えない楔は
ドミノ崩しよりもずっと脆い
幾度なく同じこと繰り返した
このか細いテグス切れる前に
何度と引っ掻いてすり減っていた
嫌いなものはどうにも大嫌いで
好きって絶望なんだって
なんでかな 本当に言いたいことは
言えないままで腐っていくの
得てきた分より多く失って
泣いてばっかじゃいられなくて
視界がフラット 戻れない二度と
七日目の明日までじゃあねバイバイ
また明日ねって手を振った
君が見えなくなる
今日も言えずにただ僕は
果たされない約束は
時効のまままた会えたら
次は笑っていますように
絡まる嫌と複雑な道理
夜明けの港死に場所
いつのまにか
子どもじゃいられなくなって
大人にもなりきれていない僕は
狭間をさ迷って
行き場のない感情に塗れて
諦めてはまだどこか信じたい
やりきれないことばかりで痛い
失ったものを数えて
見失った君を探して
空になった僕ら灰になる
あの時ああしてれば
よかったなんてさ
得てきたものを数えて
手に残ったものを並べて
透明になって僕らまた
前を向いて足を踏み出せるよ
また明日ねって手を振った
君が見えなくなる
今日も言えずにただ僕は
果たされない約束は
時効のまままた会えたら
次は笑っていますように
君のことを思い出す季節が
過ぎていく
君のことを思い出す季節が
君に届かない 手向けの花を
終わることのない
日々の叫びを胸に閉まって
涙流しても上書きできるから
僕は忘れない 君の姿や想いを
身勝手な生き物だらけの世界も
まあ I don't mind, that's fine.
後ろ振り返らず歩けますよう
また明日ねって手を振った
君が見えなくなる
今日も言えずにただ僕は
果たされない約束は
時効のまままた会えたら
次は笑っていますように
また明日ねって手を振って
君が笑っていた
僕はいつもここにいるから
果たされない約束は
時効のままでもいいから
次も笑っていますように
The lyrics to Reol's song 神様になった日 (Kamisama ni Natta Hi) narrate the struggle and regrets of a person who feels that they may have said too much and now it's too late to take it back. They compare the invisible bond connecting them and the person they're addressing to a fragile key that is even more delicate than a game of dominoes. The repetition of similar patterns and the feeling of scratching and wearing themselves out before the bond breaks suggests that they were aware of the issues but couldn't do anything about it.
The lyrics also express a deep hatred for things they dislike, mentioning that love can be a source of despair. The singer ponders why they cannot express their true feelings and instead let them rot inside, losing more than they gain and crying excessively. They feel trapped in a flat vision with no way to return and say goodbye until the seventh day, waving their hand and watching the person disappear. They mention that they cannot be a child anymore and that they haven't fully become an adult either, lost between these two states and enveloped in emotions with no outlet. Despite the pain of being unable to let go, they still believe and want to find something to hold onto.
Summary:
The song 神様になった日 by Reol depicts the regrets and struggles of a person who feels they may have said too much.

hoshi wa kagayaki kanshou hitari

bare bare no deforume sae tanoshinderu kimi ga suki de
jikkan no nai sekai de sogaikan tsunorasete
