Reol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
あんたの気を惹きたい
今日じゃないと 絶対だめなんだよ
黄色い線の上 ギリギリのステップで踊っている
うまいこと染まれないよ 借りもんの個性的じゃ減点
面倒事にノックダウン 一人暮らしはまあキツいです
表参道から松濤 僕はダンサーインザダーク
安月給で惨敗 まだ工事終わんないし
イヤフォンの向こうで 歌う声に焦がれている
劣等感 厭世的な気分で朝を待って
こんな思いを知っても 鼓膜の上であなたが
クソみたいな現実を一瞬光らせるから 超越した
ねぇ 表は危ないよ
センセーションなんざくそ喰らえだろ
あんたの卓越は若さやお金じゃはかれないのに
名声を強請って 無いもの見栄張ってる
着飾るばかり 都会
イヤフォンの向こうで 叫ぶ声に正されている
嫌悪感 肯定できない僕が嫌になって
こんな思いになって尚 "なんとか" を保てるのは
嘘みたいな理想の何処かあなたがいるから 超越してよ
五線譜の上のさばる本音 折れそうな僕は神頼みだ
本当は何も願っていない うつった癖が直らない
アートなんて音楽なんて
歌をうたったからなんだって
絵を描いたって足しにならないから辞めちまえば
アートなんて音楽なんて音楽なんて
音楽なんて音楽なんて音楽なんて もうくたばれ
アートなんて音楽なんて何もなくっていなくなって
価値をつけて選ばれなくて
憧れだけ
イヤフォンの向こうで 歌う声に焦がれている
劣等感 厭世的な気分で朝を待って
こんな思いを知っても 鼓膜の上であなたが
クソみたいな現実だとしても光らせた
イヤフォンの向こうへ 三分と少しの間だけ
全能感 革命的な気分でいさせて
そういつだって指先ひとつで 再生
ありふれた生活 殴り込んであなたは
クソみたいな現実を たった一小節で変えて
超越したの 1LDKで
The lyrics to Reol's song "1LDK" delve into themes of fame and self-worth in the face of societal pressures and expectations. The singer expresses their desire to grab attention and make a name for themselves, seeking validation and recognition from others. They acknowledge the challenges and difficulties they face in pursuing their dreams, with the metaphorical reference to dancing on the yellow line, barely staying within the boundaries.
The lyrics also touch on feelings of inferiority and self-doubt. The singer longs for the voice they hear through their earphones, which serves as an escape from their negative emotions and a source of inspiration. Despite knowing the struggles they go through, they find solace in the brief moments when reality shines as they transcend their limitations.
The song criticizes the superficiality and empty pursuit of fame and material wealth, emphasizing that one's true greatness cannot be measured by youth or money. The singer reflects on their own shortcomings and pretenses, highlighting the importance of staying true to oneself rather than putting on a façade.
The lyrics also mention the singer's dissatisfaction with their own self, their struggle to maintain their idealism in the face of a harsh reality. They express their reliance on the intangible, seeking guidance and support from a higher power. The song ends with a sense of bitterness and resignation, with the singer questioning the value of art and music and feeling unselected.
Overall, "1LDK" explores the complexities of seeking validation, the struggles of maintaining authenticity, and the longing for something beyond the limitations of the self.

LETRA EN ESPAÑOL (ya que no me la añaden al video uxu)
Hoy estoy en la portada del periodico
quiero conseguir tu atención
quizá fue algo totalmente inútil
Es como si diese los últimos pasos detrás de la línea amarilla
Simplemente no puedo encajar
en el rol de alguien que no soy
Los problemas cotidianos me derriban,es difícil cuando vives solo
Desde Omotesando, a Shoto danzo en la oscuridad
Deprimido por un salario muy bajo,sin ver nunca acabado el trabajo
Amo y odio
la gran ciudad
Estoy deseando escuchar esta voz cantando más allá de los audífonos
deprimido y sin esperanzas,espero el mañana
incluso tomando consciencia de ello, estos pensamientos resuenan en mi tímpano
intento arrojar luz para ver más allá de una realidad de mierda
Trascender
Es terreno peligroso
Todas estas emociones superficiales me derrotan rápidamente
El verdadero valor no se mide por juventud o dinero
pero es el ideal de la fama
valorar solo el buen aspecto
presumir de lo que se carece
Las palabras que grita la voz tras los auriculares me recomponen
incluso cuando me siento deprimido,sin autoestima y me odio por ello
Es lo único que me mantiene con esperanzas
Incluso cuando siento que todo es una mentira
Trascender
Es como si solo importase la forma de expresarlo,aunque solo sean cinco líneas
Realmente no espero nada,no puedo cambiar mis hábitos
¿Por qué la música es arte,el arte es música sólo por cantar canciones?
¿Qué le da valor? Podría dibujar y no habría diferencia
El arte, ¿qué es el arte? la música, ¿qué es la música? El arte, ¿qué es el arte? la música, ¿qué es la música?
cuando son canciones sin valor
Arte y música se disuelven cuando no tienen quien les de valor
El arte y la música, se fueron y yo con ellos al no ser valorado
Solo me queda el anhelo
Estoy deseando escuchar esta voz cantando más allá de los audífonos
deprimido y sin esperanzas,espero el mañana
incluso tomando consciencia de ello, estos pensamientos resuenan en mi tímpano
incluso si realmente fuesen una realidad
más allá de los audífonos, solo por un corto tiempo de tres minutos
quisiera sentirme omnipotente y revolucionaria
tan fácil como pulsar "play" con la punta de un dedo
tomar la cotidianidad
devolverle el golpe
cambiando la realidad de mierda con un solo verso
Trascender
de un 1LDK (un piso/casa de una sola habitación)

Twice in my life I caught a live stream from the beginning, twice it was Reol. I was really sad that the old group broke up because I was a fan of their songs like drop pop candy and her collabs with Giga. But it is really nice to see her starting to become a well-known artist. Keep up the fantastic work and just be you. Also a big thanks to every musician, crew member, fill in, production member or everyone in general that helped make the videos and music possible! Have a great year ahead!
〈rhi〉
Many of her songs are still with Giga. if you select the options on a song on spotify you can scroll down and look at "show credits", many of her songs list Giga as composer or co-composer

gigaも含めて向上心もだし、現状に満足せずに色々チャレンジしてるし、そうとう意識が高いって感じるね。
第6感でそろそろもっと気づく人が増える！って思うよ。
