深海魚
orange pekoe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
夕闇 降りてきて
それぞれの
靴音が行き交う
僕らは
漂う悲しい出来事を
やり過ごしている
深海魚みたいだ
流れるままなすがままに
ここまで来たはずなのに
Please let me hear
何か一つでも
確かな事涙の代わりに
今すぐあなたの声を
消え入りそうな
星を見上げて
耳を澄まして待っている
水たまりの道
街灯が照らしている
迷い人の
道標みたいに
いつか胸に抱いた
憧れだけをたよりに
ここから何処に
向かおうか
Please tell me now
泣きたいくらいに
本当の事
知りたいだけなんだ
今すぐあなたの声で
ため息に
包まれた様な街の底
ゆっくりと歩き出す
Please let me hear
何か一つでも
確かな事涙の代わりに
今すぐあなたの声を
消え入りそうな
星を見上げて
耳を澄まして待っている
ため息に
包まれた様な街の底
あなたの声を待っている
The song "深海魚" by Orange Pekoe talks about wandering lost and alone through the streets and hills after a rainy day. The lyrics are very vivid, with each person's footsteps crossing paths and creating a sense of aimlessness and loneliness. The song likens the state of the singer's heart to that of a deep-sea fish, floating and drifting through life without direction.
Despite their sadness and confusion, the singer still holds on to hope for something tangible and real to hold onto, even if it's just one thing. They long to hear the voice of their loved one, to listen to their words and feel comforted by their presence. The final lines of the song imply that the singer is walking slowly through the city's quiet streets, listening for that voice, waiting to be surrounded once again by warmth and love.
Overall, the song is a poignant exploration of the difficulties of navigating life and love, particularly in times of confusion and darkness. The imagery is evocative and powerful, with the deep-sea fish metaphor particularly effective in conveying a sense of driftlessness and uncertainty.
