Kbz Meaning & Lyrics (Yamada Gal Zingu)
Yamada Gal Zingu sings about a melody that protects him when he’s about to lose control. The musician describes blocking out noise with hair and headphones to find peace, translating to ‘the sound of scraping wheels brings calm.’ His lyrics show how even in crowded places, one can find moments of solitude and comfort.
Asatsuyu ga ochiru mae ni torikaesouI’ll take it all back before the morning dew falls.
Nigenai yoru ga kasurikizuThe night I can’t escape from is just a scratch.
Soto ni derenai hi datte atta noThere were even days when I couldn’t step outside.
Anna ni hitori ga suki datta noniEven though I used to love being alone so much.
Heya no kabe sae osou doyoubiEven the walls of my room attack me on Saturdays.
Tomoru hi ga kienai you niSo that the burning light doesn’t go out,
Watashi o mamotte kureru merodia melody is here to protect me.
