Come on ghost
The Pillows Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

脱ぎたくなった仮面の下
凶暴なスマイル
まだスタンバイしてる
取り繕った場面のフタ
こじ開けるトゥナイト
リサイクル挑戦
三倍速で罰ゲーム
Come on ghost
Come on beast
Come on Twin egoist
ボンヤリと飼い慣らされたのか
Come on ghost
Come on beast




Come on Twin egoist
削られた牙

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Pillows' song "Come on ghost" depicts a speaker who is struggling with the masks they put on in their daily life. They feel like they've been concealing their true nature for so long that they can't take it anymore. They describe themselves as having a violent smile hiding under the mask they wear, and how they are still on standby to present the façade they've crafted. The song also references an attempt to lift the lid off the carefully constructed scenes they've created and take a chance at recycling themselves.


The chorus of the song repeats the words "Come on ghost, Come on beast, Come on Twin egoist" which suggest the singer is urging themselves to reveal their true selves and escape the masks they've been wearing. The last line of the first verse, "三倍速で罰ゲーム" which means "triple speed punishment", could suggest the desperation they feel towards escaping the masks they wear and how they might be willing to face any punishment to do so.


Overall, this song could be seen as an anthem for those who are feeling trapped behind the masks they've created, and how they need to break free to live their lives as their true selves.
