kagen no tsuki
downy Lyrics

The lyrics of downy's song "kagen no tsuki" depict the relationship between two people during the early morning hours. The song begins with the TV announcer saying "Good morning," while the singer feels stuck in time at 30 o'clock. The lyrics then shift to the listener, wondering how they are doing and if they are obediently listening to the morning news while combing their hair.

The lines "繋がれて 溶け合って 蒸せるように 戯れていた" suggest a sense of being tied together, melting into each other, and playfully enjoying the heat. The clock's hand pointing to 6 o'clock indicates that they have spent time together, venting their frustrations under the brightening sky.

The chorus repeats the concept of wanting to cover the night and prevent morning from coming, symbolizing a desire to prolong the intimate moments shared. The line "時計を睨んでは 子供のようにまた 駄々をこねるよ" portrays a child-like behavior of sulking and being stubborn while staring at the clock.

The second verse continues the theme of wanting to preserve the night, with the lines "このまま夜のまま 朝が来ないように蓋をして." The lyrics describe the couple debating over trivial matters through the gaps in the curtains they purchased together. The moon's phase is described as the "下弦の月," suggesting a sense of ambiguity and uncertainty.

The bridge of the song offers a moment of tranquility as the singer marvels at the partner's gentle bedhead and combs it with a sense of calmness. However, the following lines express a sense of regret and frustration, emphasizing the relentless passing of days that cannot be changed. The singer feels like the only one unable to sleep or bring an end to this unchanging cycle.

In the final verse, the singer reminisces about the moon they saw together, wondering where the bouncy hair, reminiscent of that night, is now. The phrase "言い合い誰の中 腕の中 胸の中 抱き合い 下弦の月の下" suggests a complex mix of emotions, as they argue and hold each other within the embrace of the waning moon.
