Reol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
身を隠すようにして踊る
でたらめや嘘も
あたしを守るための術なの
騒がしいくらいに
ジャジーな音で イって
だってまっていたって
この世は動かない
誰が責められるの?
滅多切って貼って
そんな真似事なんか物足りない!
流行りのネイルと
トレンドの色だけを纏う
あなたは誰なの?
らしさってやつはそこにはないのよ
神も仏もいない 無情なこの世は
人の不幸がご馳走 下らないわ
なにも欲しくはない
愉しみたいだけ
バカなフリするから騙されてね
能ある蛇は毒を胸のうちに隠すの
真っ赤んなった
頬の色も計算のうちよ
惚れた腫れた色恋や
数ある娯楽さえ満たせない
この体暴く衝動に連れてって
ねぇアジテーター
ラズルなリズムに揺れ
just like that
It's easy 本能のままダンス
わからずやも 浮気者も
踊り狂え今ここが舞台
狙いさだめ
この世は愉しんだもん勝ち
だってまっていたって
この世は動かない
背伸びをしたあたしを
誰が責められるの?
滅多切って貼って
そんな真似事じゃ生きらんない
全部身勝手に転ぶ世の中で
背伸びをしたあたしを
誰も責められないでしょ
十八番になったバカのフリ
騙されてもいい
これで終い 鳴らす銃声
In Reol's song "ROXY," the lyrics depict a person who seeks escape and protection from the relentless rain by dancing and hiding. The nonsensical words and lies they tell themselves are merely techniques used to shield themselves. The loud and jazzy music provides a distraction, but deep down, they know that no matter how long they wait, the world will not change. The singer questions who should be blamed for their attempt to conform and grow out of their comfort zone. They find imitation unsatisfying and seek something more genuine.
The song touches on the superficiality of trends and appearances, as the singer mentions dressing in trendy nail polish and colors without any sense of individuality. They question the authenticity of others and claim that true essence cannot be found. In a world without gods or mercy, the singer believes that the misfortune of others is nothing but a trivial feast. They express a sense of apathy and desire only to have fun. The singer's willingness to act foolishly is an invitation for deception, suggesting that even those with ability hide their true nature. The bright red color on their cheeks is calculated, just like their false love and infatuation, which fail to fulfill their empty entertainment. They long to be taken away by the impulse to expose their body, urging the "agitator" to lead them.
The lyrics continue to emphasize the importance of staying true to oneself in a world where everyone falls selfishly. They question who should be blamed for their attempt to grow beyond their limitations. The world won't hold them accountable. The singer mocks the idea of playing dumb and being deceived, implying they would rather be fooled. The song ends with the sound of a gun, signifying the end of the performance.
