YUKI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
私にも約束されたはずなのに
プリーズ! オーマイガッド! 青空 待ち合わせのベンチ グッドモーニング
マイ・スニーカー 靴ひも千切れ
まさかの急展開よ 電話のベルが鳴り響く
受話器の向こうから聴こえる 彼女の笑い声 あなたの低い声
ストレートに投げられた球 打ち返せず立ち尽くしていた
まだ諦めないの 確かめたい
彼のワイルドピッチだって 許したい
プレイボール!
どうやら役者は 勢ぞろいしたみたいだ
前向きな女神 嵐のマウンド 迎えるは最大のピンチ
振り切るなら 望みは サ・ヨ・ナ・ラ
くせのある歩き方も 変な笑い声も 好きだった
千切れ雲 夕焼け空に赤く 走り出す ゲームはまだ 終われない
起死回生のチャンス スライディングはセーフ
ごまかしてきた私の心は フライ 舞い上がれ 実に爽快だ
物語はツーアウト 期待のルーキー
彼のチェンジアップだって 逃さないで
ボールは高く 空に 吸い込まれていった
ストレートに投げられた球 打ち返せず立ち尽くしていた
私の目から ベンチのサイン 涙で見えない
まだ諦めないの 確かめたい
彼のワイルドピッチだって 許したい
プレイボール!
どうやら主役は 私じゃないみたいだ
もう諦めたい でも期待したい
彼の心変わりまで待っていたい
プレイボール!
どうやら またも三振したみたいだ
The lyrics to YUKI's song "Play Ball" tell the story of a girl who is waiting for someone on a bench under a bright blue sky. She loves love songs and believes that a bright future is promised to her. However, when her sneaker lace breaks and her phone rings, she realizes that things are not going as planned. She hears her girlfriend's laughter and the low voice of the person she's been waiting for on the other end of the line. When they finally arrive, the girl realizes that she is in love with the person she's been waiting for, and she wants to be forgiven for their wild pitch.
In the second half of the song, the story turns to the ball game. The girl is watching as straight pitches are thrown, but she can't seem to hit them. She's determined not to give up, even when she feels like crying. She loves the weird way he walks and his strange laugh. As the game continues, the girl finds herself in a desperate situation, with only one chance left to turn things around. She manages to make a sliding save and her heart soars. However, in the end, she strikes out again.
Overall, the song seems to be about the ups and downs of life, the unpredictability of love, and the importance of never giving up. The lyrics are filled with imagery that brings the story to life, and YUKI's voice gives the song a sense of raw emotion that is both powerful and vulnerable.
