深海 (The Abyss)’s にわかには信じがたいものです (What Is Ahead Of The Tunnel?) Japanese Lyrics English Meaning
The songwriter describes a love so intense it creates a ‘heavy storm of emotion’. He uses the tunnel as a hopeful metaphor, singing ‘let’s head toward the other side of that tunnel’. Natori mixes this imagery with nervous details, like a heart rate pulsing through a left hand.
Chikagoro, watashi wa douka shichatteru!Lately, I’ve been acting so strange!
Hyon na tokoro de do o koshichatteru!I’m going overboard in the most unexpected ways!
