LUCIFER
SUGIZO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make me feel die
そして君に告ぐよ あの日の想い
言い出せなかった言葉
君の月と宇宙に 咲いていた僕は
全てを知ってたのに
この傷さえも いつも隠してた
壊れそうだよ
今 目覚めたくて 君の宇宙に
ah 見失いそうになる
今 救えるだろう? あの願いを
ah 戻りたいよ LUCIFER
そして形だけの 枯れた時なんて
崩れてしまえばいい
幼いあの時に 置き去りにした
自分を思い出せなくて
この痛みさえ 誰も気づかずに
終わっていくの?
Can you hear me?
今 壊したくて あの誓いを
ah 落ちてゆきそうになる
今 思い出せば 時が見える?
ah 知っているよ LUCIFER
この傷さえも いつも隠してた
壊れそうだよ
Can you make it?
今 目覚めたくて 君の宇宙に
ah 輝きになれるなら
もう 壊れるだろう
生まれるだろう つぎの愛は
今 抱きしめたい
君の全てを 時が終わる前に
Can I fly?
Can you fly?
Can I fly?
Can you be awake?
Can I fly?
Can you fly?
Can I fly?
Can you be awake?
Can I fly?
Can you fly?
Can I fly?
Can you be awake?
The song "LUCIFER" by Sugizo is an emotional piece that speaks about the struggle of being awake and the pain of leaving one's past behind. The song's opening lines, "You make me feel awake, You make me feel die," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer tells their listener that they feel both alive and dead at the same time, which is a common feeling we face when dealing with difficult situations. The singer then communicates a message to their listener that carries the weight of their past's unspoken words. They reveal that, in the past, they had feelings for their listener but were unable to express them. They vividly describe how they used to blossom under their listener's care, yet they kept their wounds hidden, always on the verge of collapsing.
The second verse is a contemplative expression of the singer's innermost thoughts. They reference their past shapeless and withered times and ponder why they can't recollect themselves. They ponder if the pain they feel will go unnoticed, and they'll continue to suffer. The chorus line, "Can you hear me?" is sung by the singer, asking if their listener can listen to their unspoken words from the past. The song then takes a dramatic turn, where the singer expresses their desire to return to the past and break their old promise. By breaking their old promise, the singer envisions a flying role that they previously couldn't achieve. The song ends with the words, "Can I fly? Can you fly? Can I fly? Can you be awake?" It signifies the extent of their restless and vulnerable mind.

久しぶりに聴いたけど、やっぱりSUGIZOの感性はすごい！
@doovo9391
sugizo本人がこの当時エヴァンゲリオンにハマっていて、その世界観からインスピレーションを受けて出来た曲だと、何かの媒体で発言してました。
@user-ie4yr8ef8z
シブい！
@deichan3701
何故か夏になると聴きたくなる1曲
@user-hm9tq9jr5e
冬も聞いていいぜ。
@user-pg4yz6gg8b
この曲でテクノやクラブミュージックを知りました、その後色んな音楽に手を伸ばしていってもこの曲に戻ってきます。
@kotakota7665
スギちゃんの万人受けしないアングラな曲達が愛おしくてしょうがないです。
ブレイクアウトとかで宣伝してたけど日本では全然広まらなかった。
こんな素晴らしい世界観をもった楽曲達が沢山埋もれている事が歯痒いです。
公式でUPして再度注目を浴びる事を望みます。
@user-ci8ot4hx8c
この曲は、もっと評価して欲しかった。
@ress904
何処をどう評価すんの？この曲。
LUNA SEAファンが買わなかったのが何よりの不発の証拠でしょ？
@user-ru6mj3vh6j
個人的には、LUNASEAがソロ活動始めた中で1番好きやったよーー！！
