Yogee New Waves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ぼくらはまだ 何も知らない子供のように
触って壊したりして 傷つけたんだ
ぼくは心なしか 沈黙が涼しくて
声も出せないよ 光輝く夜だったんだ
眠らなくてもいいの もう夜は白んでゆく
思い出せ ほどける香りと街のあかり 君もそうでしょう ぼくもそうだよ
Understand？
ここからまた 始まる予感 風邪のせいかな
Wind on Wind Holly Night
眠らなくてもいいよ
今日は流星降り注ぐ
空にさえ 届く想いと街の明かり
君もそうでしょう 僕もそう
幾千もの星たち 街を見下ろして
ぼくらを包む 祝福するように
3番目のドアを 叩いて破って
会いにきたのさ 流星群の名のもとに
The chorus of Yogee New Waves's song "Understand" poses a question to listeners, asking them if they understand the confusion and uncertainty that often accompany adolescence. The verse that follows paints a picture of young people grappling with their emotions and making mistakes along the way. The singer mentions feeling unable to speak up despite being surrounded by a beautiful, glowing night. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer expressing a sense of anticipation for what's to come even as they wonder if they're coming down with a cold. The bridge shifts the focus to the night sky, which is filled with stars that seem to offer a sense of comfort and inspiration to those who gaze at them.
