THE NOVEMBERS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
白い地平を目指した
何か大切な
ものがある気がして
とても美しい
夢のような場所に
ほら明日の今頃は
むせるほど とびきり
甘い香りの花で飾って
進んだ ひたすら
波にもまれて
幸せの船が少しずつ
傾いているなんて
誰も気付かない
夢をみていた
白い地平の夢
ほら明日の今頃は
若い二人のウェディングパーティ
むせるほど とびきり
甘い香りの花で飾って
静かに
沈んでいく
その間
夏の日に
ベランダで
枯らした
花の事を
思い出してた
どの夢も僕達をまるで
おもちゃのように遊ぶ
The lyrics of the song Romancé by THE NOVEMBERS speak about a journey over a black sea towards a beautiful dream-like space with a white horizon. The singer feels that there is something important to be found in this place. The lyrics then move to a future situation where two young people are getting married in the same beautiful place. They are surrounded by sweet-scented flowers and happiness. However, the singer feels that this happiness is short-lived because the ship may gradually start tilting, and no one would notice except for him. The dream of the white horizon is like a toy, playing with everyone's emotions, including the singer's.
The song brings out the idea of how something beautiful can be fragile and subjected to change. The love between the two people getting married might be real, but can easily break, just like the ship tilting. The memories of the singer, sitting by the balcony and recalling the dead flowers, add to the feeling of fragility and susceptibility to change. Perhaps he is acknowledging that every transient moment is precious, even if it's just memories.

+MasterOfCookies8 Here's what I could find.
A ship sailed the black sea
and aimed at the white horizon
I have a feeling that there's something
important in that beautiful dreamlike place
Look, tomorrow at this time is going to be
the wedding party of a young couple
They are decorating the place with
extremely sweet smelling flowers
Nobody seems to notice
that the ship of happiness is sinking,
tossed by the waves it sailed
I had a dream
A dream about the white horizon
Look, tomorrow at this time is going to be
the wedding party of a young couple
They are decorating the place with
extremely sweet smelling flowers
As the ship is sinking quietly
I remembered about the flowers
that withered in the balcony on a summer day
No matter what dream it is,
we play just like if we were toys

@user-vc2go5ly2r
イントロから鳴りっぱなしのこれ、パーカッションかな？なんだか催眠的なビートですね。
3年くらい前にこの曲を初めてライヴハウスで聴いた時は感涙のあまりクネクネ踊ったなぁ。
