midnight
Shinn Yamada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
本当にそばにいたい
止まる車 赤信号でも構わない
今向かえばちょうど間に合う
みてる風景 うつる風景
君は歌舞伎町で不安を重ね合わしてる
I don't know I don't know
乗せて握るハンドル
行き先は分からず
二人キスと絡め合う
無駄にうるさいネオン横目に
走り出した街はにぎやか にぎやか
まだ今日は終わらない夜の7時前
ワンルーム二人酒を喰らうもう1時前
暗くなる部屋重なるお互いの濡れた手
騒ぐrain力つきる 二人顔を合わせて
何もない夜や何もない朝が
不安だったりさみしかったり
ミステリアスな物語たち
大事なものを隠し通したり
Lonely guy, lonely girl
Lonely guy, lonely girl
Lonely guy, lonely girl
I don't wanna be ヒトリ
本当にそばにいたい
止まる車 赤信号でも構わない
今向かえばちょうど間に合う
みてる風景 うつる風景
君は歌舞伎町で不安を重ね合わしてる
I don't know I don't know
ちょうどいいぐらいの背丈
君の可愛いは口だけ
つまらないないことも笑えた
酒がNoでも楽しかった
次はここ行こうよ
渋谷あそこ集合
それだけでいいそれだけでいい
それだけがいいそれだけがいい
それだけでいいそれだけでいい
それだけがいいそれだけがいい
I don't wanna be ヒトリ
本当にそばにいたい
止まる車 赤信号でも構わない
今向かえばちょうど間に合う
みてる風景 うつる風景
君は歌舞伎町で不安を重ね合わしてる
I don't know I don't know
The lyrics of "Midnight in 2-3" by Shinn Yamada depict a longing for human connection and a desire to escape loneliness. The singer of the song expresses a desire to be with someone instead of being alone, willing to chase after a person even if it means running a red light. The singer describes driving through the bustling streets of Kabukicho with their companion, surrounded by the noisy neon signs and the vibrant city nightlife. The melody and rhythm of the song perfectly capture the feeling of staying up late in the city, feeling alive and living in the moment.
The lyrics also hint at the precariousness of the singer's situation. They express the fear of being alone, the pain of past heartbreaks, and the sense of aimlessness that can come from living in a big city. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "I don't wanna be ひとり (hitori)," which translates to "I don't want to be alone." This repetition emphasizes the importance of human connection to the singer, underscoring how essential it is to feel like you belong somewhere.
