Dear my friend
SALU Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

元気にしてますか?
東京は相変わらず冷たいですが
嫌なことばかりじゃないです
そちらはやはり夜は冷えますか?

真夜中の甲州街道
二人で急いだあの頃
毎分毎秒老いていくこの体と
あの頃のままのこのハート
あの時 一体どうすれば
友達ってそんな時どうすんだ?
正解ないから何かすれば良かったのに
俺はただ見てただけだ

ごめんとも違う
ありがとうとも違う
結果ただ蓄積されてく無言
だけど今度こそ何かしたいから
今この手紙を書きます

Dear my friend
Oh my friend
今はどんな気持ちなの?
もしも欲望がなければ
誰も苦しまないで済むのに
Dear my friend
Oh my friend
なんでこうなってしまったの
君には何が見えてたのこの東京の空 oh yeah

Yo yeah, uh たまに夢で朝まで遊んでる
まるでガキの頃みたいな顔してる
目が覚めても少し覚えてる
時間はないからすぐに家を出る

あなたが教えてくれたこと
この街で生きていくということ
隙を見せれば足をすくわれる
どこまで行ったら俺ら報われる

会いに行くのは簡単
会いに行かない俺の判断
ライブは必ずあのダブルのクロムを
つけて向かってる毎回

誰にも理解はされないかもしれないけど
変わらないものがある
だからこの手紙が電波に乗り
そこまで届くことを俺 願う

Dear my friend
Oh my friend
今はどんな気持ちなの?
もしも欲望がなければ
誰も苦しまないで済むのに
Dear my friend
Oh my friend
なんでこうなってしまったの
君には何が見えてたのこの東京の空 oh yeah

Dear my friend
Oh my friend
今はどんな気持ちなの?
もしも欲望がなければ
誰も苦しまないで済むのに
Dear my friend
Oh my friend
なんでこうなってしまったの
君には何が見えてたのこの東京の空 oh yeah

I hope you good, bro
Under the same sky
On the same planet
But you're not here
So I do my thing
I just do my thing bro, till you back
I feel I
I feel this is real bad bro




Did you this future?
I wonder

Overall Meaning

In "Dear My Friend," SALU expresses his longing for his friend who is far away from him. He starts the song by asking about his friend's well-being in Tokyo, where even though it is unchanged, it still feels cold at night. He then reminisces about their past, particularly about the time they were in Koshu Kaido, which they had traversed together. As SALU watches himself grow older without his friend by his side, he questions how he should have acted when they were going through tough times. He admits that he regrets not doing anything but just watching during those times. SALU then goes on to express how he feels about his friend by saying that both "I'm sorry" and "Thank you" don't quite capture what he wants to say, so he chooses to write him a letter instead.
