Strangers
recog Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

不安ばかり先行して未熟な僕が辿り着いた街は
気付けば反発ばっかそれ必要なんですか？

囲われた世界だった僕が自由と定義していたとこは
やっぱり飛び出したって怖いもんだ

Strangers
画面の奥カウンターな僕らに

不快極まりないクエスチョン
Strangers
わだかまりは「ダウト！」そう叫んだんだ
その声で

気付いてたんだ本質も本来も
分かってたんだもうずっと前から
"誰かの為" 自分の為だ
それでも貴方は貴方は貴方だけは

期待ばかり先行して未熟な僕が辿り着いた街は
表面をスケートするだけで言葉はリフレクション

着飾るだけ着飾って見られたいのはホントは中身なんだ
それでも浸透してる怖いくらい

Strangers
依然アウトサイダーな僕らは
時にラジカルに吠えてんだ
Strangers
聞かせてよ僕に本当の意思をさ
その声で

塞いでたんだこの瞼を
救われたんだ与えるはずが
孤独の中笑われても
届いた貴方に貴方に貴方にはさ

誰かが誰かがってしがみ付いてたんだろう
包み込む声も雑音で何も聴き取れないまま
貴方が貴方がそこには居てくれたんだろう

例えば迷子のような僕らは
独りきりじゃなかった
