無言劇
THE ALFEE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
似合いさとつぶやいて
二人のため息を背中に
ドアを思いきり閉める
402 あいつの部屋に
まさかお前が来てたなんて
うしろめたさとまどう視線
ひきつった作り笑い
三文芝居のタイトルは
台詞無用の無言劇
主役は冷めきった心と心
白いハネムーンのポスター
道すがら破りすてても
やり場のない悲しみだけは
胸にはりついたまま
失恋舞台裏
信じたくないミスキャスト
泣き事無用の無言劇
主役は冷めきった心と心
台詞無用の無言劇
主役は冷めきった心と心
The lyrics of "無言劇" by THE ALFEE tell a story of betrayal and heartbreak. The opening lines speak of a foolish clown who murmurs that his role suits him well. The two main characters of the story let out a sigh as the door shuts behind them. The lyrics then describe a scene in which one of the characters finds themselves unexpectedly in the room of someone they know, feeling uneasy and betrayed as they force a false smile. The stage for betrayal is set, with the title of the play being a "three-penny show" with no lines, only silence. The main roles are played by two hearts that have lost their warmth, unable to express themselves and only able to act.
The second verse continues the theme of heartbreak, with the tearing down of a honeymoon poster symbolizing the destruction of a dream. The singer carries a weight of sadness within them, unable to express their pain. They feel as if they have been miscast in a play they don't want to believe in, resulting in a heart-wrenching performance with no dialogue - only two cold and distant hearts. The lyrics ultimately describe the desperate desire for a happy ending that may never come.

若い頃、この詩が好き過ぎて用も無いのに402号室に空きのある部屋を探して引っ越しした経験があります。何も起こりませんでしたが、この歌を聴く度、何故あんな事をしたのか未だに不思議です。

引っ越しした部屋が402号室でちょっとときめいた。階段がきついけど。
