to the moon
Yogee New Waves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the moon, to the moon 月へ直滑降さ
グッバイ 今までの自分とは
違うことに気付いていて
別に明日死ぬわけじゃないし
ここは東京 いかれた気分さ
夜を告げる 夜
何年たっても ふいに
夜に溺れる ぼく
眠れぬ夜は 風をまとって
空を泳いだり 瞳に落ちて
ねえ 月まで行こうか
辿り着けない 生き物のようにね
Open your eyes
Listen to your heart
Open your mind
だって何年たっても君に
何年たっても君に
何年たっても君と
夜に溺れる ぼく
大人になって 自由になった
空を跨いだり 瞳に落ちて
ねえ 月まで行こうよ
「辿り着けないぜ」
そんなセリフには
最低さ！そんな言い訳は！
言葉にまみれ 何も言えなくても
ねえ 月まで行こう さあ
辿り着けない 生き物のようにね
To the moon, to the moon, to the moon, to the moon
To the moon, to the moon, to the moon, to the moon
To the moon, to the moon, to the moon, to the moon
To the moon, to the moon 月へ直滑降さ
The lyrics of Yogee New Waves's song "To the moon" express a desire for freedom, adventure and a sense of discovery. The repetition of "to the moon" throughout the song emphasizes this yearning for escapism and a departure from the mundanity of everyday life. The singer of the song has realized that they are different from their past self and is now open to the opportunities that life has to offer. The lyrics suggest that life is not meant to be lived in the same place forever and that Tokyo, despite its vibrant energy and excitement, can sometimes feel confining.
The verses of the song describe the singer's yearning for their love interest, as they are still captivated by them despite the passage of time. The lyrics suggest that while life goes on, some feelings remain unchanging. The singer argues that they can still drown in their love interest's presence even after all this time. The bridge of the song is an invitation to the listener to open their heart, mind, and eyes to the possibilities around them.
The chorus of the song is a call to action, urging the listener to join the singer on their journey to the moon, where they will swim in the sky and experience something new. The line "like an animal that can't reach it" is a nod to the desire for something unattainable -- a sense of loss that almost echoes the feeling of unrequited love. Overall, the song appears to be about the desire to escape the mundane and achieve something great, even if it seems impossible.
