Looking for color in a shade of gray Looking for love in a drop of rain Trying to find change from the old mundane But everything I do just feels the same
Spending my life out in the desert Been gone so long, feels like forever
I just want to be closer to you I just want to be closer I am yours, you can have all of me, anything, everything I just want to be closer
『Lost In You』は2009年リリースの3rdアルバム『Life Starts Now』収録。2011年にシングルカットされた曲。 サビ前の展開の仕方がめちゃくちゃ好きで、歌詞と相まって泣ける。どちらかというと静かな曲やけど、エモくて素敵です。
I always knew that you'd come back to get me And you always knew that it wouldn't be easy To go back to the start to see where it all began Or end up at the bottom to watch how it all ends
You tried to lie and say I was everything I remember when I said "I'm nothing without you" I'm nothing without you
Somehow I found a way to get lost in you Let me inside Let me get close to you Change your mind I'll get lost if you want me to Somehow I've found a way to get lost in you
You always thought that I left myself open But you didn't know I was already broken I told myself that it wouldn't be so bad But pulling away it took everything I had
You tried to lie and say I was everything I remember when I said "I'm nothing without you" I'm nothing without you
Somehow I found a way to get lost in you Let me inside Let me get close to you Change your mind I'll get lost if you want me to Somehow I've found a way to get lost in you In you
Somehow I found a way to get lost in you Let me inside Let me get close to you Change your mind I'll get lost if you want me to Somehow I found a way to get lost in you A way to get lost in you
I'm not alone cause the TV's on yeah I'm not crazy cause I take the right pills everyday And rest, clean your conscience Clear your thoughts with speyside with your grain Clean your conscience, clear your thoughts with speyside
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt Our hearts littering the topsoil Tune in and we can get the last call Our lives, our coal
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt Our hearts littering the topsoil Sign up it's the picket line or the parade Our lives
I'm not alone cause the TV's on yeah I'm not crazy cause I take the right pills everyday And rest, clean your conscience Clear your thoughts with speyside with your grain Clean your conscience, clear your thoughts with speyside
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt Our hearts littering the topsoil Tune in and we can get the last call Our lives, our coal
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt Our hearts littering the topsoil Sign up it's the picket line or the parade Our lives
中盤の「Greed from my arm」の部分は「(I bled the) greed from my arm」って書いてるサイトもあって、そっちを元に「流れる」っていう言葉を付け加えときました。その方がわかりやすいかなって。 全体的に詩的な感じの歌詞だな。韻や響きを大事にしながらも、ちょっと風刺的な雰囲気で、いい歌詞やなって思います。
最初BVBの曲を聴いた時、Andyの声がこのルックスからは想像できない感じの声だったから驚いた。高くて細そうだなあって勝手に思ってたんやけど、わりと低くて響くような声。かなりツボです。 今回『Rebel Love Song』を選んだのは、BVBの曲の中で個人的に好きだからっていうのもあるけど、この曲の名前で検索してたどり着いてくる人が結構多かったから。
I cannot hide what's on my mind I feel it burning deep inside A passion crime to take what's mine Let us start living for today
Never gonna' change my mind We can leave it all behind Nothin's gonna' stop us No, not this time
So take your hand in mine It's ours tonight This is a rebel love song Hearts will sacrifice It's do or die This is a rebel love song
ということで、「old man」はあえて父親とかおじさんとか限定せずに、ただ「年老いた男」としておきました。聴く側が自分にとってしっくりくる人物を当てはめられる方がいいかなーと思ったので。 歌詞中の「think of two」っていうのは、自分と恋人(もしくは好きな人)のことを指してるのかなって思ったけど、このエピソードを聞くと「two」はAvila夫妻なのかな? 「life」も、「生活」にすると味気ない気がしたので「人生」にしてます。
Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were. Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life, Twenty four and there's so much more Live alone in a paradise That makes me think of two.
Love lost, such a cost, Give me things that don't get lost. Like a coin that won't get tossed Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you I need someone to love me the whole day through Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.
Lullabies, look in your eyes, Run around the same old town. Doesn't mean that much to me To mean that much to you.
I've been first and last Look at how the time goes past. But I'm all alone at last. Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you I need someone to love me the whole day through Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.
