Rockdom
THE ALFEE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

覚えているかあの夜
20歳の誕生日
お前と聞いた
"サマー・タイム・ブルース"
若さの他には何もない
俺達の愛は転がる石のようだった
そこにお前がいるそれだけで
倖せと感じてたあの頃
安いバーボンで酔うほどに
未来は俺達のために
あると信じてた
When I was young 1969
風に吹かれていただけさ

ロック・アウトされたキャンパス
やりきれないほどに
灰色の毎日だった
あいつが死んだ夜も
何も知らずに
俺達は抱き合ってた
時の流れに追われる俺に
ふと懐かしくよみがえる
愛と呼ぶには幼なすぎた
お前との暮らしと
その微笑みすべてを
When I was young 1969
風に吹かれていただけさ Oh Yeah

陽炎のように光の中で
揺れてる想い出たち
懐かしき恋人
仲間たちの笑顔
まぶしく輝くその時
涙の雫があふれだして
よみがえる二人の
"アズ・ティアーズ・ゴー・バイ"
別れの朝背中にもたれ
サヨナラも言えずに
壁を見つめていた
そこにお前がいるそれだけで
倖せと感じてたあの頃
安いバーボンで酔うほどに
未来は俺達のためにあると信じてた
When I was young 1969
風に吹かれていただけさ
俺達の時代を忘れないで
風に吹かれていたあの頃を
俺達の時代を忘れないで
風に吹かれていたあの頃を
俺達の時代を忘れないで
風に吹かれていたあの頃を
俺達の時代を忘れないで
風に吹かれていたあの頃を




俺達の時代を忘れないで
俺達の時代を忘れないで...

Overall Meaning

The ALFEE's song "Rockdom" reflects on the nostalgia of the past, especially during the wild 1960s, where people were carefree and lived life to the fullest. The lyrics open with an introspection of time spent with a loved one on the singer's 20th birthday, where they both listened to "Summer Time Blues." The chorus echoes the carefree attitude of the '60s and how our protagonist believed in a future that belonged exclusively to them while drinking cheap bourbon.


The second verse talks about the singer's university life during the '60s, where the campus had turned into a lockdown zone, and every day seemed like a never-ending grey disaster. It all changed when the singer's buddy tragically passed away, and during that dark period, the singer found solace in love. The lyrics evoke an intense feeling of nostalgia and how the singer remembers the days gone by, of the love they shared, and the close friends who had supported them through thick and thin. The song concludes with a call to remember those times and how they molded the person that they have become.


Overall, "Rockdom" is a sentimental ode to the '60s and how it shaped people's lives, and it reminisces on the simplicity and innocent times that the singer spent with loved ones.
