#1 "Spare Key" by Half-Meant

Memo: Inspired by Calypso and Odysseus in Homer’s Odyssey, but stripped of the myth and placed inside an ordinary relationship. [Opening Hook] I made you a spare key, you don't have to stay. It only fits this door— just don't give it away. [Verse 1] You said the intercom was dead. I said, "They always are." I got a copy made at lunch at the shop around the corner. You turned it in your fingers. "What's it for?" you said. "Just in case," I told you. You nodded and looked away. I watched you thread it onto your crowded ring of keys. "It's only practical," I said. "Of course it is," you said. [Chorus] I made you a spare key, you don't have to stay. It only fits this door— just don't give it away. Come when you want to, leave when you please. I made you a spare key— just don't give it away. [Verse 2] Your friends are waiting downstairs. I say, "Don't keep them waiting." You say, "I'll see you later." I say, "Of course you will." The lift groans its way back down. I leave the radio playing. I don't call to check on you. I just keep the volume up. [Bridge] You say, "It's a little much." I say, "It's just a key." You tuck the ring inside your coat. I hear it when you leave. [Final Chorus] I made you a spare key, you don't have to stay. It only fits this door— just don't give it away. Come when you want to, leave when you please. I made you a spare key— just don't give it away. [Outro] The lift goes down. I turn it up. It comes back up. I turn it down. ----------------------------------------------- メモ： ホメロスの『オデュッセイア』に登場するカリュプソに着想を得て、神話的な要素は入れずに、現代の普通の男女関係に置き換えた作品📝 [Opening Hook] 合鍵を作ったよ 泊まらなくていい このドアにしか合わない鍵 でも誰にもあげないで [Verse 1] インターホンが壊れてるって あなたが言った いつものことよと私は答えた 昼休みに、角の店で 合鍵を作ってもらった あなたは指先で鍵を転がした 何に使うの？ 念のためと答えた あなたはうなずいて、目をそらした 鍵でいっぱいのキーリングに あなたがそれを通すのを見ていた ただ便利なだけよと私が言うと もちろんとあなたは答えた [Chorus] 合鍵を作ったよ 泊まらなくていい このドアにしか合わない鍵 でも誰にもあげないで 来たいときに来て 帰りたいときに帰ればいい 合鍵を作ったよ でも誰にもあげないで [Verse 2] 友達が下で待っている 待たせないでと私が言う またあとでとあなたが言う ええ、もちろんと私は答える エレベーターがうなりながら下りていく ラジオはつけたまま 帰ったかどうか 電話で確かめたりしない ただ音量を上げる [Bridge] ちょっと重くない？ ただの鍵よ あなたは鍵束をコートの内側にしまう 出ていくとき 鍵の鳴る音がした [Final Chorus] 合鍵を作ったよ 泊まらなくていい このドアにしか合わない鍵 でも誰にもあげないで 来たいときに来て 帰りたいときに帰ればいい 合鍵を作ったよ でも誰にもあげないで [Outro] エレベーターが下りていく ラジオの音量を上げる また上がってくる 音量を下げる
