Roosters Lyrics

So Long

Our bags are waiting by the door
I took the phot off the wall
We won't meet here anymore
Like so many times before
This time tomorrow we'll be gone
Can't find no peace, we're on the run
Take whatever comes at all

My head id filled with shots of all of you
Laughs about things that we used to do
One last time before we see this through

(Chorus)
So long my friends
Drain your glass and fill them onece again
Tonight will be ourmemory
So long my friends
Time has come for us to move along
But I don't see this as the end

Another face another name
No two places look the same
Everything is bound to change
Until we meet again
We're never sure what we call home
I can't settledown for long
The glass is greener anywhere

Out of time and in too deep
We're psychotic from the lack of sleep but we're
Staying up so we can saygoodbye

(Repeat Chorus)
Cause I know that one day
We'll all be face to face again
Till then let's fly into tomorrow
Cause nothing no nothing
Will ever change what we've been through

So let's just keep on moving on and on and on and on

Our bags are waiting by the door
I took the phot off the wall
We won't meet here anymore
My head is filles with shots of all of you




Laughs about things that we used to do
One last time before we see this through

Overall Meaning

The song "So Long" by Rostam is about leaving behind old memories and moving forward with life. The lyrics describe leaving one's friends and familiar surroundings behind in search for greener pastures. The singer has mixed feelings about the departure, never sure what he calls home, but he knows life must go on. He took the photo off the wall, a symbol of leaving behind a chapter of life, but not forgetting the good times he shared with his friends. The refrain "so long my friends" is a message of goodbye and appreciation for the time spent together.


The song seems to be based on Rostam's own experience of leaving Vampire Weekend, a band he co-founded, in search of his own creative horizon. Through the song's lyrics, Rostam reflects on the time spent with the band and the memories they created. The song's gentle and nostalgic melody reflects the bittersweet emotion of leaving behind old friends and moving forward with life.

散々な言われ方してる曲だけど
実はルースターズの中でも、かなり好きな曲の一つだったりします。

この曲は、また初期とは別のあの時代感の良さがある。(*´∀`)

ルースターズファンの殆どが大江信者だと思うけど私は大江後の花田ボーカルのRoosterzが好き

sabu Jazz

意外と良い曲

In The Pocket

歌詞の中の「君」が誰を指してるかで解釈が違ってくる歌だと思う

かわいいし

シンプルイズベスト!

KEN IWASA

この曲ずっと謎曲だったんです! 歌詞検索してたどり着きました。30年以上の謎が解けました!

Nioi no Ousama King of smells

大江のルースターズを支持しているひとからボロカス言われる花田ボーカル時代ですが
ルースターズとして聴かなければ普通に良い曲。
最初は
「いきなりこんな甘く優しい歌歌われても困るけん」でしたが。

私は、『Good Dreams』から入った口なので、花田さんのこの曲が好きで、よくミュートマで楽しみにしていました。

現在ならわかる。痛い程に😭
