1. the pillows (ザ・ピロウズ) are an alternative rock band from Hokkaidō, Japan, best known outside Japan for their contributions to the soundtrack of the anime series FLCL (Fooly Cooly).
They consist of 山中さわお (Sawao Yamanaka) -vocals & guitar-, 真鍋吉明 (Yoshiaki Manabe) -guitar-, 佐藤シンイチロウ (Shinichiro Sato) -drums-.
The band officially formed on September 16, 1989 as a four-man group. The fourth man and original bassist, 上田ケンジ (Kenji Ueda), left the band in 1992 to become a music producer and do solo work. Since then, 鹿島達也 (Tatsuya Kashima) and later 鈴木淳 (Jun Suzuki) have taken his place as supporting bassists. Neither Kashima nor Suzuki have been named official members out of respect for Ueda.

天使みたいにキミは立ってた
The Pillows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
道の真ん中でただ濡れている
キミを好きになった日から
格好つかないな恥ずかしいな
特別な予感
勝手に一人でシビレている
開く事のない最後の扉を
たやすく くぐり抜けて
どこに居ても誰と居ても
キミを瞼から上手く剥がせない
どこに居るの誰と居るの
僕にも会いたい夜はあるの
キミとの僅かな時間の
全てを思い浮かべ
優しい闇探って
ギリギリ眠ろう耐え切れない
夢でいいから会わせてくれ
特別な予感
勝手に一人でシビレている
開く事のない最後の扉を
たやすく くぐり抜けて
キミは立ってた天使みたいに
The song "天使みたいにキミは立ってた" by the pillows portrays the feelings of a person who has fallen in love with someone else. The lyrics describe the moment when the singer realizes they have feelings for the person in question and the emotions that they are unable to express. The song begins with the sudden onset of rain and the singer standing in the middle of the road, soaking wet. From the day the singer fell in love with the other person, they feel awkward and embarrassed, with a special sense of anticipation that fills them up.
The lyrics suggest a yearning for a deeper connection with the object of the singer's affections. They can't seem to think about anything but the person, even when they're around other people. They want to spend time with this one person, all alone in the night. The singer is willing to endure the tough times without sleep, just to see their love interest again in their dreams. The singer is willing to take any chance, even the chance that the last door they try to open will be the one that leads them to the love of their life.
Overall, the song portrays a sense of longing and desire for a person who seems almost unreachable. The singer is willing to risk everything to be with this person, and they daydream about their time together, even if it is just for a few precious moments.
