道化者のゆううつ
The Street Sliders Lyrics

These lyrics are from The Street Sliders's song 道化者のゆううつ (Dōkeshi no yūutsu), which translates to "The Clown's Melancholy." The song portrays a sense of sadness and melancholy, using imagery and metaphors to depict emotions and struggles.

The first stanza expresses a desire to break out of a sad dream or to let a gentle dream continue undisturbed. It reflects the longing for a change or stability in one's state of mind. The second stanza suggests a similar sentiment, encouraging the listener to go somewhere if they want to, or if they choose to stay, then they should initiate a conversation. It might imply a sense of loneliness or a longing for connection.

The third stanza describes a person leaning their cheek on their hand during a melancholic night but not being able to see the person they miss. The image of trying to forcibly light a damp match and the realization of an empty cigarette represents the frustration and inability to find solace or comfort. The fourth stanza talks about the sad mutterings and repeated phrases of a drunk person, hinting at a deep sorrow that resurfaces when intoxicated.
