Atelier
Rick Rack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
真っ白な世界を彩ってゆくよ
水彩絵の具のチューブを握って
空っぽになるまで感情を絞り出した
らんらんと咲いては色付く花を
閉じ込めたいって夢中になってた
あの頃持ってたスケッチブックは
泣いて 消して 塗り潰して
それでも何か捨てられなくて
気付けばいつもここにいるんだ
僕が一番 僕らしくなれる場所に
限りなく広いキャンバスの上で僕は
本当の色 探して 探して 走る
答えは一つじゃなくたっていいんだ
パレットが溢れるほどの想いを詰め込んで
淡々と過ぎゆく時間の中で
何かを探して見つけてまた失って
誰かと比べて焦って戸惑って
目の前の世界が色褪せて見えたよ
何の為？誰の為？って
希望の光 見出せなくて
時に涙滲ませ彷徨う
不安ばかりで何も描けなかった
限りなく広いキャンバスの上で僕は
本当の色探して 探して 走る
誰もが認めるものじゃなくていいんだ
無数の色に出会い自分を見つけ出すよ
晴れた空が灰色に曇ったら
また明るい色を重ねていく
キャンバスがしわくちゃになっても
破れてボロボロになっても
描き続ける僕の未来
"Atelier" by Rick Rack is a song about discovering oneself and exploring the world through the art of painting. The song begins by describing drops of watercolor tinged with emotion falling and blending into a pure white canvas, creating a beautiful world of colors that the artist is passionate about. The lyrics then move onto a nostalgic memory of the artist's younger days when they were so engrossed in capturing the vibrant colors of blooming flowers that they would fill up their sketchbook until it was stained beautiful, illustrating how the artist's past played a significant role in shaping their present self.
As the song progresses, the artist describes the struggle of finding one's true self by exploring a vast canvas of limitless possibilities. The artist encapsulates the significance of emotions in the creative process, expressing how they are willing to squeeze out every last drop of emotion from the paint tubes until they are emptied. Throughout the song, the artist acknowledges the challenges they face, including losing their way, comparing themselves to others, and struggling with self-doubt. However, they express that no matter what happens, they will continue to paint their future with overwhelming passion and a desire to uncover their true colors.
Overall, "Atelier" is a celebratory ode to self-exploration and expression through art, recognizing the importance of embracing one's history and emotions to create a colorful future.
