カンガルーも考えている
tempalay Lyrics

The lyrics of tempalay's song カンガルーも考えている ("Kangaru mo kangae te iru") reflect on the evolution of human beings and the existence of different life forms on Earth. The song begins by mentioning that 100 years ago, humans dominated the planet, referred to as "Hito" (人) and having evolved from ancestors known as "Saru" (サル), or apes. The lyrics then delve into the evolution of primates, with species such as Australopithecus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Peking Man, Neanderthals, Cro-Magnon, and the rock art caves of Lascaux and Altamira being mentioned. This highlights the diverse stages of evolution that human beings have undergone.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the perspective of kangaroos, stating that inside their pouches, they feel cramped and uncomfortable. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the limitations or struggles individuals might experience in their daily lives. The verses following the chorus shift to discussing the emotions and relationships of smaller life forms, mentioning concepts such as "love" and "affection." It explores the desire for a special connection with a particular partner and the longing for both spiritual and physical unity. The lyrics also suggest that due to climate change, asteroid impacts, diseases, and human population growth, some species have migrated to Mars along with a few remaining survivors.

The repetition of the chorus at the end of the song reinforces the notion that even kangaroos, seemingly distant creatures, have their own concerns and desires. Through this reflection on the evolution of humans and the experiences of other life forms, the lyrics invite listeners to contemplate their own existence and relationships.
