アナザーモーニング
The Pillows Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

途方に暮れて泣いてた
オモチャ売場の隅で気がつけば
ママの姿は消えていた
知らない人が
やさしく話しかけてくれるけど
そんなのまるで聞いちゃいなかった
今もまだ同じよく似た不安が
つきまとう
耐えきれないような
出来事は確かにあるけれど
どんなに寂しくても
誰も迎えに来ないよ
迷子の知らせ
アナウンスはかからない
扉の向こうには約束なんてない
でも行こう 生まれ変わる朝が来た

夢中になって自転車をこいで
遠くのグランドへ走った
あの頃キミと二人乗り
何もなくてもただ楽しい
そんな毎日だったな
ずっと変わらないと思ってた
アルバムの厚いページを埋めて
微笑んでる顔も
遠く離れて近頃じゃ
手紙さえ来ないけど
今日は新しい僕の誕生日なんだ
記念写真を撮り直すからおいでよ
素敵な思い出を映す
ロウソクは消さないで
生まれ変わる朝が来た

今もまだ同じよく似た不安が
つきまとう
耐えきれないような
出来事は確かにあるけれど
どんなに寂しくても
誰も迎えに来ないよ
迷子の知らせ
アナウンスはかからない
扉の向こうには約束なんてない
でも行こう 生まれ変わる朝が来た
another morning




another morning
happy rebirthday

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Pillows' song "Another Morning" depict a sense of being lost and abandoned. The singer finds themselves in a toy store, feeling lost and crying, only to realize that their mother has disappeared. Although a stranger kindly approaches them, they don't pay attention to what the stranger says. The same kind of uneasiness and anxiety continue to haunt the singer, and even though there are events that are unbearable, no one comes to their rescue. There is no announcement of their lost status, and there are no promises beyond the door. However, despite all this, the singer decides to move forward, as a new morning of rebirth has arrived.


The second verse reminisces about a joyful time in the past when the singer and someone referred to as "you" used to ride a bicycle together to a distant playground. Even though there was nothing remarkable, it was a simple and happy time. The singer thought things would never change, filling the thick pages of an album with memories and smiling faces. However, recently, that person has become distant, not even sending letters. But today is the singer's birthday, a day of new beginnings. They invite the person to retake a commemorative photo, capturing beautiful memories, and ask them not to extinguish the candle. They believe a new morning of rebirth has arrived.


Overall, the lyrics convey a feeling of loneliness, abandonment, and the desire for new beginnings. It explores the idea that even in difficult and uncertain times, one can find the strength to move forward and embrace the possibilities of a new day.

Confused and lost, I cried
In the corner of the toy store
When I realized my mom was gone
Even though a stranger spoke so kindly to me
I couldn't hear a word he said

Even now, an anxious feeling, like that
Unbearable incident, still lingers in me

How sad, no one came to find me
Lost child! The announcement never came
Beyond the door there are no promises
But let's go, a new morning is here

In a blissful daze, I kept pedalling on my bike
Riding with you
Until we reached a faraway place
We had nothing, but every day was wonderful
I thought things would never change

The pages of my photo album are filled with your smiling face
But you're somewhere far away now, you haven't even sent a letter

Today is the birth of a new me
I'll start by retaking those precious photographs
Without extinguishing the flame of those beautiful memories
A new morning is here

Even now, an anxious feeling, like that
Unbearable incident, still lingers in me

How sad, no one came to find me
Lost child! The announcement never came
Beyond the door there are no promises
But let's go, a new morning is here
Another morning
Another morning
Happy rebirthday!

Tohou ni kurete naiteta
Omocha uriba no sumi de ki ga tsukeba
MAMA no sugata wa kieteita
Shiranai hito ga yasashiku hanashikakete kureru kedo
Sonna no maru de kiichainakatta

(Confused and lost, I cried
In the corner of the toy store
When I realized my mom was gone
Even though a stranger spoke so kindly to me
I couldn't hear a word he said)

Ima mo mada, onaji yoku nita fuan ga tsukimatou
Taekirenai you na dekigoto wa tashika ni aru keredo

(Even now, an anxious feeling, like that
unbearable incident, still lingers in me)

Donna ni sabishikutemo daremo mukae ni konai yo
Maigo no shirase ANAUNSU wa kakaranai
Tobira no mukou ni wa yakusoku nante nai
Demo ikou umare kawaru asa ga kita

(How sad, no one came to find me
Lost child!
The announcement never came
Beyond the door there are no promises
But let's go, a new morning is here)


Muchuu ni natte jitensha wo koide
Tooku no GURANDO he hashitta
Ano koro kimi to futari nori
Nani mo nakutemo tada tanoshii sonna mainichi datta na
Zutto kawaranai to omotetta

(In a blissful daze, I kept pedalling on my bike
Riding with you
Until we reached a faraway place
We had nothing, but every day was wonderful
I thought things would never change)


ARUBAMU no atsui PEEJI wo umete hohoenderu kao mo
Tooku hanarete chikagoro ja tegami sae konai kedo

(The pages of my photo album are filled with your smiling face
But you're somewhere far away now, you haven't even sent a letter)

Kyou wa atarashii boku no tanjoubi nan da
Kinen shashin wo torinaosu kara oide yo
Suteki na omoide wo utsusu rousoku wa kesanaide
Umare kawaru asa ga kita

(Today is the birth of a new me
I'll start by retaking those precious photographs
Without extinguishing the flame of those beautiful memories
A new morning is here)

Ima mo mada, onaji yoku nita fuan ga tsukimatou
Taekirenai you na dekigoto wa tashika ni aru keredo

Donna ni sabishikutemo daremo mukae ni konai yo

Seriously an underrated band, I can't even understand their language, But man I respect the shit out of their sound!

@emanuelrojas2

As long as you can appreciate music at a basic level my dude, then it’s all good.

@SleepyGoji

Exactly

@aye2you

I agree

@shithoagie

This is why music is one of the most powerful things human beings have 🤙🏾

@rastamanrastaman744

リアルタイムで聞いた人間も、新しく聞いた若い世代も、聞く者の魂を掴んで震えさせる。こんなバンドが日本に存在するという幸せ。

@Remembrancer

The Pillows are definitely my favorite Japanese band of all time. (USA, FL)

@bossseven4401

名曲だから誰もが知るほど売れるわけではないんだな。
出会えて良かったと心から思う。

@terukimurakami6409

良いものは皆に知らせたいけど静かに応援してあげれば良いのかと思う。売れてるかどうかってでっち上げだったりするので・・・・

@shithoagie

​@@terukimurakami6409sales are just money. Sure, it can mean more people are exposed to such beautiful things, but we shouldn't rely on that as the best metric.

I'm listening to this again, 23 years after first seeing FLCL and this is still an amazing track, up in the top ten I want played at my funeral.

If I'm going to leave this life, I'd love to leave people hearing this.
