Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Moufu ni kurumatte
Mimi wo fusagu yasashii MERODI
Omoidashita wa madoromi no naka de
It's Super Shining Bright
Akogarete ita
Matte iru dake ja kanawanai
Norikoerarezu ni akirameru koto mo
Toki ni wa hitsuyou datte omou kedo
Genjou no naka de umaku yaru koto ni
Narete shimau no nante iya na noni
Yuuutsu na yoru no Flash Back
Kaze ga mado wo tataku
Hikaru kumo wa nandaka kirei
Wasuretenai wa kandou shiteru wa
It's Dreamy Candy Stripe
Rasen wo egaku
Uzu yo douka shouki wo saratte
Obiete iru no wa bakageteru
Nige taku naru no wa norikoerarenai
Sou kimetsuketeta jibun no sei nano
Konkyo nadonai to waraitobashite yo
RUBI- no kutsu de niji mo koeru kara
Genkai wo kimeru no wa
Jibun no omoikomi shidai nano yo
Ima nani wo shite mo yari kirenai no
Jishin ga nai no
Konkyo nado naito waraitobasetara
Mae ni susumeru koto ni kidzuiteru
Nani demo dekiru to omoikomasete yo
RUBI- no kutsu de niji mo koeru kara
The lyrics of Tommy heavenly6’s “Ruby Shoes” talk about not being able to sleep on a stormy night and reminiscing about a melody that has been stuck in the main character’s head. The melody was once an object of desire, but it seems out of reach now. The character is struggling with the fact that sometimes giving up seems like a better option than to overcome obstacles, but deep down believes that it is still important to overcome difficult challenges. The character feels frustrated with the idea that they must adapt to the current situation to succeed, even though they do not want to.
The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia for the past while realizing that moving forward is necessary for success. The stormy night serves as a metaphor for the uncertainty of the future, and “Ruby Shoes” represent the ability to persevere and overcome obstacles. Overall, the lyrics are a complex mix of regret, hope, and perseverance, reflecting the ups and downs that come with striving towards a goal.
