cocklobin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

「虹が見たいと願う」
殻の中の「液体」は問う
「羽化しない羽だ」「あぁ死ぬんだ」
「なぜ？」

産まれ落ちたは「星」
いつか見た擬視か夢か
それでも思うさ

「虹が見たいと願う」

光と影が昇った
神はその手から落とす
真っすぐに落ちる　深い景色
心に虹が映った
君はその手でも拾う
真っすぐに昇るいつかの景色

寂びた願いは儚く散って
僕を見下ろしてた

「　　　　　　　」

僕らは飛び立って　君と飛び立って　さぁ
もう一度四季を飛び回るんだ　さぁ飛び立って

行こう　行こう　行こう

光と影が昇った
神はその手から落とす
真っすぐに落ちる　深い景色
心に虹が映った
君はその手でも拾う
真っすぐに昇るいつかの景色

寂びた願いは儚く散って
僕を見下ろしてた

その後ろにある初めて見えた
「虹が儚く舞う」

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Reborn" by Cocklobin convey the idea of a desire for rebirth, growth, and a fear of death. The song opens with the plea "I want to see a rainbow," which is met with questions asked by the singer's inner-self. The second verse opens with an allusion to the singer's birth, his or her memories of when s/he saw an apparent visual mimicry or dream. Despite the uncertainty, the desire to see a rainbow persists as a symbol of the hope and beauty that life could offer. The chorus relates to both the imagery of heaven and hell and the journey of the soul, where the "struggles" experienced in life are often linked to the inability to see a rainbow. The singer finds himself in the place to choose which road to choose, leading to either hope or despair.

The second verse suggests a sort of epiphany, and the singer becomes keen on the idea of moving on and leading a more fulfilling life. The chorus then follows, with the image of the singer ascending to the heavens and down to the depths of despair. The bridge then breaks into a shout of "Let's Go!" leading the singer to make the leap of faith and rise to new heights despite the inevitable challenges. The symbol of the rainbow is finally seen and the singer is discovered to have overcome the darkness and can see the colors of the world.
