Fish
The Kaleidoscope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
解き放とう置いてゆこう
子供のころ夢見た冒険家みたいで
思いの果てに連なってゆくよ
すくいあげた手のひらから
こぼれ落ちる砂と時間このために
生まれてきたと教えてくれる
転げ落ちそうなスピードで
そして誰も知らない白浜へいつか
打ち上げられるまで
もう何も覆い隠す必要はないから
意識しなくていい脱ぎすてよう
考えはじめるとどんどん遅れるんだ
軽い眠気にそっと浮かんでよう
銀色に光るウロコが
月明かりをはねかえす計算された
夜にポッカリ穴空けようよ
波にのまれたとしても
ボクはキミを放さない
そして誰も知らない白浜へいつか
打ち上げられるまで
すくいあげた手のひらから
こぼれ落ちる砂と時間このために
生まれてきたと教えてくれる
転げ落ちそうなスピードで
ボクら泳ぎつづけよう
そして誰も知らない白浜へいつか
打ち上げられるまで
The lyrics to The Kaleidoscope's "Fish" depict a sense of adventure and freedom. The first verse describes the vastness of the sky and the feeling of being overwhelmed by it, but instead of feeling trapped, the singer decides to let go and embrace the unknown. They compare themselves to explorers from childhood and believe that their dreams will lead them to their ultimate destination. The second verse urges the listener to let go of their inhibitions and not worry about their thoughts as they'll only hold them back. The imagery of shining scales and moonlight creates a scene of mystery and beauty that's waiting to be explored. The chorus ties the two verses together as they repeat the idea of embracing the unknown and swimming towards an undiscovered future.
Overall, the lyrics come off as a call to action. The singer encourages the listener to stop holding themselves back and take risks. The idea of swimming towards an unknown future can be interpreted as a metaphor for chasing dreams or taking a leap of faith in life. The song, in essence, is about overcoming any fears or doubts and going forward with optimism towards a brighter tomorrow.
