The Street Sliders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
おまえは今日もおちつかないUP & DOWN
まるでCrazy Monkey
まるでMurder Blues
あくびしてるネコ
Cool It Down, Cool It Down, Cool It Down
カメレオン カメレオン
ダイスはいつも気まぐれさ Knock Me Down
Oh Knock Me Down
UP & DOWN
まるでCrazy Monkey
まるでMurder Blues
あきれはてたネコ
Cool It Down, Cool It Down, Cool It Down
カメレオン カメレオン
まるでCrazy Monkey

Cool It Down, Cool It Down, Cool It Down
カメレオン カメレオン...
The lyrics of the song "カメレオン" by THE STREET SLIDERS depicts a feeling of being lost and not being able to find a sense of stability. The first lines of the song describe a disheveled bedroom and the singer falling down. The singer is unable to calm down and goes through varying emotions of up and down like a “Crazy Monkey” or “Murder Blues”. The chorus then introduces the idea of a chameleon, which can change its appearance to fit its surroundings. Perhaps, the song is implying that the singer feels like they need to change themselves to fit into their environment to find stability.
The second verse introduces the character of a “Moon Dog” who is carefree and laughing while the singer feels like they are being knocked down unpredictably like a rolling dice. The singer is once again feeling like they are spiraling out of control and unable to find any stability. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the idea of a chameleon, and ends the song on an unresolved note.
