奇跡までのストレートライン
ZAQ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

この想いは発車したバスを
追いかけることに似てる
ちょっと待ってって言いたいのに
私の都合なんて無視して君は進む
それでも
君への想いだけが私を走らせる
奇跡までどれぐらいかな
私こんなに頑張れるんだね

君がいなきゃ気付けなかった
1000回ダメでももしかしたらって
たった1度私への視線を探してる

恋愛ポエムを頼ってみたり
カリスマの言葉に相づちうったり
自分と重ねてみるけど
どんなフレーズよりも
彼の言葉こそリアル
誰より
君のことスキだって
思い込んでいるの
「普通」ってどうやるんだった?
気付かれないようにしようって
その分だけ弱くなるんだ
でも逃げてないから怖くて
怖いけど逃げたくないよ
奇跡までのストレートライン
往くの

どんどん君は凄く遠ざかる
私には興味すらないのかも
でも追いかける以外の道を
知らないの
今は「お仕事がんばって」
しか言えないけど
それでも
君への想いだけが私を走らせる
奇跡までどれぐらいかな
私こんなに頑張れるんだね
君がいなきゃ気付けなかった

1000回ダメでももしかしたらって
たった1度私への視線を探してる

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to ZAQ's song 奇跡までのストレートライン (Kiseki made no Straight Line) describe the feelings of a person chasing after a bus that has already departed, which is similar to chasing after someone who has already moved on. They want to stop and say something to the person they are chasing, but they feel like their own feelings are being ignored, and the other person is moving ahead. Despite this, the person's feelings for the other person are the only thing driving them forward. They ask themselves how far they are from a miracle, but they are amazed at how hard they can work because of their feelings for the other person. The lyrics explore the idea that chasing someone can be challenging, but it's worth it if you believe in what you're doing.

The lyrics also mention the use of love poems and charismatic words to try to connect with the other person, but these fall short compared to the other person's words. The person singing the song has convinced themselves that they are in love with this other person, but they're struggling with the idea of what it means to be "normal" in a relationship. They want to hide their feelings to avoid being rejected, but they know that doing so makes them weaker. Despite their fear, they don't want to run away from their feelings, and they continue to chase after the other person, believing that they are capable of achieving a miracle.

Overall, the song expresses the struggle of chasing after someone who has already moved on and the overwhelming feelings it can cause. However, it also conveys the message that if you believe in your feelings and work hard, it will be worth it in the end.
