[“櫂 (Paddle)” 歌詞]
私が離れた 幽体離脱
行く当てはないのでしょうが
美しい蝶の羽根を手に入れたみたいだ
心が離れて 幽体離脱
春風の感触がして
少しだけ太陽を見ていた
私が離れた 幽体離脱
海まで行きたいのですが
悲しみに秋の日差しが隠れたみたいだ
身体を離れて 幽体離脱
春風に舞うのでしょうか
絵の具が溢れていく絵のように
貴方の櫂を貸して
悲しむように漕いでゆくだけの
私の錨を知って
波よ止まないでくれ
私の恐れた知らない人
私を笑った人が
波の美しさに死んでしまったらいいのに
私を離れて 幽体離脱
海まで向かったのですが
身体を忘れてしまった私がいました
貴方の櫂を貸して
名もないままに死んでゆくだけの
私の声を知って
波よ止まないでくれ
私の声よ行って
海を呑み干す千の鳥になれ
私の痛みを知って
波よ
貴方の櫂を貸して
悲しむように漕いでゆくだけの
私の錨を知って
波よ止まないでくれ
止まないでくれ
Meaning of 櫂 (Paddle) Lyrics
The soul drifts away, feeling free like a butterfly. Floating in the spring breeze, it watches the sun while leaving the physical world behind.
Seeking the ocean, things feel heavy and gray like a hidden autumn sun. The body is left behind as colors bleed out like a messy, beautiful painting.
Asking for a way to move through the grief, the heart feels weighed down by an anchor. There’s a wish for the waves to keep moving so the pain doesn’t stand still.
Anger towards those who were unkind surfaces, wishing their negativity would just wash away. Without a body, the self feels lost and disconnected while heading toward the water.
Desperate to be heard, the voice seeks a way out before fading away. It wants the pain to transform into something powerful, like a thousand birds flying over the endless, restless sea.
