Gradated Grey Lyrics

My car radio’s playing a song
That makes me feel very strange
It’s taken so long for the gradation of the grey scale

A landscape like i’ve never seen
As far as my eyes can see
Out on the road i see so many shades
Shades of grey
Now i’m back in the tunnel again

Every minute
Every second
I can feel it getting closer

Cover art for Gradated Grey lyrics by Yellow Magic Orchestra

A beautiful description of what it’s like to travel by car in a place you’ve never been to. Noticing all the details and really looking at things because they’re unfamiliar. And somehow there’s a feeling of importance. That something is ‘getting closer.’ This song is great at describing a perceived lived experience in a mysterious, spiritual, minimalist way. Genius. RIP Takahashi and Sakamoto.
