Good Time
Tempalay Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

モーニングチルに染まってくお気に入りのハウス
ゆらゆら踊り暮らす
OK.みな集まってくところに今夜
ゆらゆら泳ぎ暮らす

Late time
スローめにホール揺らしていく
四苦八苦2人は

針が止まっている
チクタクしたりない

重なり響くままの時間

Late time
スローめにホール揺らしていく
四苦八苦2人は
針が止まっている
チクタクしたりない
スローめにホール揺らしていく

四苦八苦2人は
飛んでいく飛行艇へ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tempalay's "Good Time" describe a carefree night spent with friends in a favorite house, dancing and swimming without a care in the world. The verses portray the feeling of being lost in time as the night progresses, with the slow pace of the music and the repetitive description of the scene contributing to this feeling. The chorus focuses on the experience of being with a loved one and the feeling of being suspended in time together, with the ticking of the clock becoming irrelevant.

The use of specific words and phrases in the lyrics contribute to the overall mood of the song. For example, "モーニングチル" (Morning chill) and "Late time" both evoke a sense of the passing of time, while "針が止まっている" (The needle has stopped) emphasizes the importance of being present in the moment. The use of the phrase "飛んでいく飛行艇へ" (Flying towards the plane) at the end of the song suggests a wishful desire to escape the mundanity of daily life and keep moving forward.

Overall, "Good Time" is a nostalgic ode to youthful freedom and making the most of the present moment, with a hint of wistfulness for what could be.
