Time Machine

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

巻き戻せる様な時間があるなら
君はいつを願うかな
君のことだから、笑って
「今が一番だ」って言ってくれるかな

君が笑う、隣にいる、それだけのために僕は
タイムマシンが戻した過去から
きっと同じ今を目指すのだろう

巻き戻さないでと叫びたくなるほど
消したい過去もあるけど
そのひとつひとつが
君との未来を繋ぐ糸だから

君が笑う、隣にいる、それだけのために僕は
タイムマシンが戻した過去から
きっと同じ今を目指すのだろう

君と笑う僕で在れる、
これだけのことがずっと
間違いなく宝物なんだ
どんな過去も今を紡ぐよ

君が笑う場所で生きるこの先が知りたいんだ




タイムマシンはもう要らない
目指していく未来が今あるから

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Time Machine" by osamuraisan contemplate the idea of time travel and what one would do with it if possible. The first stanza poses the question of what one would wish for if they could rewind time. The singer imagines that their loved one would probably just laugh it off and say that the present moment is the best. The second stanza acknowledges that there are things in the past that one might want to erase, but each one of those mistakes or regretful moments is a thread that connects them to their loved one's future.


The chorus repeats the idea that the singer would aim for the same present moment even if they went back in time. They don't want to change anything in the past because it would mean potentially losing their connection to their loved one in the future. The song concludes with the declaration that what the singer really wants is to know what their future with their loved one will hold. They no longer need a time machine because the future they are aiming for is already in sight.


Overall, the lyrics of "Time Machine" capture the sentiment of treasuring the present moment and the connections to loved ones that come with it, even if the past holds regrets. The lyrics suggest that the most valuable thing one can have is a connection to someone they care about deeply, and that no matter what happens in the future, it's worth knowing that they are by their side.
