秘密のドアのその先の宝の地図の示す場所
数え切れない夜を抜けココまで歩いてきた
15秒だけ目を閉じて開いたあとの世界の色
そのとき見えた何もかもぼくはきっと忘れない
ほんの一瞬で世界が変わる
ほんの一瞬が世界を変える
ぼくはもうどこへだって行けるけど
ぼくはもうどこへだって行かない

夜の闇にカラダを沈めてさ
死んだふりをしていよう
時を打つ音が遠ざかる繋いだ場所から溶けてゆく
ココにあるものはココにしかないけどたしかにあたたかいな
ほんの一瞬の世界が今を創っているんだろう
だからほんの一瞬にぼくらは揺れる
ぼくはもうどこへだって行けるけど
ぼくはもうどこへだって行かない
夜の闇がふたりを隠すから
きみとぼくがすべて
ほかに何もいらない
切ないくらいにキレイで悲しいくらいにたしかで
それゆえにどこか儚くて触れたら消えてしまうかな
ぼくらもうどこへだって行けるけど
ぼくらもうどこへだって行かない
朝がもうすぐそこで笑うから

ふたり目を閉じて
死んだふりをしていよう

The lyrics to "15秒" by nano.RIPE talk about exploring a treasure map that leads to a secret door, and the singer has ended up walking to where they are now after passing through countless nights.

The lyrics express a sense of contentment with being with a significant other and not needing anything else in life. The song concludes with the idea of pretending to be dead with the significant other, and how laughter is right around the corner with the morning coming soon.
