Lyrics
犬と散歩がてら向かう
くくり棒にリードを結ぶ
伏せたままでお留守番
200人は入るホールの最前列
わたしはひとり静かに席にすわる
地獄の門を見上げる
今日こそ開くと念じる念じる
本当に開いたらどうしようか？
意味のないことを意味あるようにしたいのか
意味あることを意味がないように思いたいのか
犬は
あくびで
出迎える
出迎える
Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu
出迎える
Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu
出迎える
Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu
出迎える
ゆたゆたと外が暗がりになってく
そろそろ行く時間
犬をくくって茜雲をみる
木々の静けさ、少しゆれてる
200人は入るホールの最後列
わたしは後ろの席に座る
地獄の門は今日も静かで
わたしはただ見上げている
もう開かなくてもいいのかもしれない
意味のないことを意味あるようにしたいのか
意味あることを意味がないように思いたいのか
犬は
あくびで
出迎える
わたしはただ見上げている
わたしはただ見上げている
意味のないことを意味あるようにしたいのか
意味あることを意味がないように思いたいのか
犬は
あくびで
出迎える
出迎える
出迎える

🐕Yawn at Dust
Verse 1
At dusk, thirty minutes before the museum closes
I walk there with my dog, just an evening stroll
Tie the leash to the little metal post
He stays there, lying down, keeping watch
Two hundred seats in the hall, front row
I sit alone, quietly
I look up at the Gates of Hell
Today, I swear, I’ll make them open
But what if they really did?
Chorus
Am I trying to make something meaningless mean something?
Or pretend something meaningful means nothing at all?
My dog
with a yawn
welcomes me back
Post Hook
Welcomes me back
Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu
Welcomes me back
Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu
Welcomes me back
Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu Uuu
Welcomes me back
Verse 2
Softly, the outside turns into dusk
Guess it’s time again
Tie him up, watch the crimson clouds
The trees tremble just a little
Two hundred seats in the hall, back row
I sit behind them all
The Gates of Hell are quiet again
I just keep looking up
Maybe they don’t have to open
Chorus
Am I trying to make something meaningless mean something?
Or pretend something meaningful means nothing at all?
My dog
with a yawn
welcomes me back
Bridge
I just keep looking up
I just keep looking up
Final Chorus
Am I trying to make something meaningless mean something?
Or pretend something meaningful means nothing at all?
My dog
with a long yawn
welcomes me back
Welcomes me back
Welcomes me back
