SUMMER
kotoringo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
皆どこかむかっているの
それを思うと胸が痛いから
忘れたフリをしているの
きみのギターに少しjealous
ガラス窓の中の空
あっちからこっち動き回る
光降る季節
光降るあつい夏
I need a little space in my heart
To breathe and drink up what I see
You need a little space in your heart
To breathe and drink up what you hear
いま見える景色を飲み込んでみた
きみが今悲しい色を見ていても
皆どこかうかれてみせるだけ
ぼくはただ頬に汗がつたうのを
払うしか出来ないの
払うしか出来ない
光降る季節
光降るあつい夏
I need a little space in my heart
To breathe and drink up what I see
You need a little space in your heart
To breathe and drink up what you hear
The song "Summer" by kotoringo talks about the fleeting nature of summer and the emotions that come with it. The first stanza talks about how even as the person listening to the song is hearing the singer's voice, everyone else is moving away somewhere, and the singer feels pained by the thought. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for how even though summer is a time of connection, it is also a time where people are constantly moving and changing.
The second stanza has the singer feeling jealous of the listener's guitar, but also admiring the movement created by the hot sand under their feet. This could represent the push-pull nature of summer, where we want to hold on to it but also want to move forward and experience everything it has to offer.
Finally, the chorus talks about how both the singer and the listener need some space in their hearts to take in everything they see and hear during this season. It ends by saying that the singer can only wipe away the sweat from their cheek, which could imply that even though summer is fleeting, we need to make the most of it and embrace it for what it is.
