【歌詞翻訳・意味解説】Cage The Elephant/ケイジ・ジ・エレファント Cigarette Daydreams/シガレット・ディドリーマーズ【歌詞翻訳・意味解説】

アメリカの５人組ロックバンド。

ブルージーなヴォーカルに、グルーヴィーかつフォーキーなサウンドで、独自のシュール＆コミカルな世界観を追求する超個性的な作風が特徴。

ヴォーカルのMattが、リビングに座ってギターを弾いていた時に閃いたナンバー。

当初は他者への楽曲提供用にと考えていたが、ギタリストで兄のBrad Schultzが気に入ったため、バンドの曲としてリリースすることになった。

Did you stand there all alone?
Oh I cannot explain what’s going down
I can see you standing next to me
In and out somewhere else right now
You sigh look away
I can see it clear as day
Close your eyes so afraid
Hide behind that baby face

Do do do do do do

You can drive all night
Looking for answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer

Funny how it seems like yesterday
As I recall you were looking out of place
Gathered up your things and slipped away
No time at all I followed you into the hall
Cigarette daydream
You were only seventeen
Soft speak with a mean streak
Nearly brought me to my knees

Do do do do do do

You can drive all night
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer

If we could find a reason, a reason to change
Looking for the answer
If you could find a reason, a reason to say
Standing in the pouring rain

Do do do do do do…

You can drive all night
Looking for answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer

If we could find a reason, a reason to change
Looking for the answer
If you could find a reason, a reason to say
Standing in the pouring rain
