テーブルには7つのナンバー
アスファルト熱く溶ける間に
つかまえろ気紛れな
Passenger
さびれた街かけぬけた
あいつの影を追え
曲がり角でまちぶせて
風に聞いたYour voice
傷ついたSoulよみがえる
ふりむいて笑顔見せるより
人ごみに身をかわす
Passenger
汚れた腕すりぬけて
あいつの影を抱け
ちぎれた夢ふみつけて
最後の銃を取れ
最後の銃を取れ
Oh Feel 移りゆく Feel 夜は
孤独に さからわず あざやかに...
さびれた街かけぬけた
あいつの影を追え
曲がり角でまちぶせて
乾いた胸を討て
汚れた腕すりぬけて
あいつの影を抱け
ちぎれた夢ふみつけて
最後の銃を取れ
最後の銃を取れ
乾いた胸を討て
乾いた胸を討て
Oh Passenger……
The lyrics to The Roosters' song "Passenger" depict a tale of a troubled soul who is calling out to someone from the shadows. The opening lines of "闇に呼んだYour name" (called out your name in the darkness) set the tone for the song. The singer, through the course of the song, implores the listener to chase after a fleeting, capricious passenger. The song, with its driving rhythm and haunting melody, creates an atmosphere that is both intense and despairing, perfect for the story it tells.
The lyrics are filled with metaphors like "table with 7 numbers" and "passenger," which further add to the mystery of the piece. The "7 numbers" on the table could represent a game of chance or fate. The chorus "乾いた胸を討て" (conquer the dry chest) indicates that the singer is trying to overcome some emotional turmoil or past trauma.
The song ends with the words "最後の銃を取れ" (take the last gun), where the singer takes control of his or her fate and decides to face the challenges head-on, even if it means using drastic measures. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but the emotions behind the words are raw and palpable, making "Passenger" a hauntingly beautiful piece of music.

下山さんが日本一のギタリストだと思う
彼が拘った後期ルースターズが
自分は特別に好き
当時は英国のバンドばかり聴いてたけど
ルースターズだけはφからの流れで
追いかけ続けてた。大江がおかしくなったのはイアンカーティスが自死したのと
同じくらいショックでこの後江戸アケミが
死んだ時は個人的に面識があったので
また辛かった。カートコバーンが2年後ぐらいかな。
@user-xn4mx5rj6j
ああ…もう最高にかっこいい。これがラストの最後っていうのがホントかっこいい。ルースターズはS期もZ期もロックもサイケもニューウェーブも全部好きです。大江慎也も下山淳もみんなみんな凄い才能だけどルースターズとは花田裕之だったんだと思います。ラストの【passenger】に花田の美学が詰まっている
@zukachang
中学生のころ、このアルバムを買って欲しくて親子喧嘩になった。色々と良いきっかけを作ってくれた。今時の若いアンちゃん達も耳の穴ホジッテ良く聞いて欲しい。
@jazzmind777
リズム隊が変わるとこうも変わるかというくらい、グループ感凄まじい。
@rasrindothedubmaster5911
最高。
バンドが表現しうる最高の瞬間を捕らえた映像。花田の吐き捨てヴォーカル、最強のリズム隊、下山の奇跡のサイケギターソロ。最高の瞬間と終焉が重なる二度と無い場面。
(R.I.P.朝本さん。Mute BeatでReggae, Dubを教わりました)
@user-qz3go1ft3p
まじで意識が飛ぶ
トリップしてしまう
サイケデリックでしかもソリッドかつハード。花田さんの声にも合った音作り。キーボードもタイトで一つのパートとして完璧に溶け込んでる。
@bootsmankaz3533
ルースターSも良いがこの時期のルースターＺは日本最強
@Ray-pd2ir
三原のドラムがものすごいグルーヴ
下山淳のギターソロはもはや神が降りてきてる
@user-kt6le4ve6j
この頃のルースターズ も大好きだ！
@user-ny7fg8rd4i
何度聴いても鳥肌が立つ。
リアルタイムで観たかったな。

「解散」を飾るのにふさわしい曲であります！
