Stereopony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
地平線の先がぼやけた
向こうへ行けるものなの?
このこんがらがった糸から
抜け出さなきゃ
見えるのはただぶつかり合う意地や
キレイゴトだけで
運命じゃなきゃいいのに
一瞬にして迷い 悩み
絶望にもなれる この街で
簡単に見失いそうになる見えない
繋がりがあるよ
でもこうして
上から見れば確かにあるもの...
運命じゃなきゃいいのに
The lyrics of Stereopony's song "fuzz" explore the feeling of being lost and uncertain in life, while searching for a sense of purpose or destiny. The opening lines "どこまでもどこまでも (dokomademo dokomademo)" meaning "wherever, wherever" express a sense of endlessness and ambiguity in the horizon ahead, which appears hazy and unclear to the singer. They question whether they have the ability to reach what lies beyond, or whether it is even something that they want or need.
The second verse delves deeper into the emotional struggle of the singer, who confesses to feeling lost, worried, and even hopeless in the city they find themselves in. The line "繋がりがあるよ (tsunagari ga aru yo)" meaning "there are connections" offers a glimmer of hope, suggesting that despite all the confusion, there may still be some threads tying everything together. The singer acknowledges that if they could step back and look at the bigger picture, from a different perspective, they might be able to see a pathway or a purpose that they can follow, but they also express a desire for this to not be their destiny, as they feel burdened by the weight of fate.
Overall, "fuzz" is a poetic and introspective song that delves into universal themes of uncertainty, self-doubt, and the search for meaning. The lyrics are rich in imagery and the music is energetic, blending rock and pop elements to create a unique sound that complements the emotional intensity of the words.
