Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a picture of a restless, late-afternoon drive, a feeling of being untethered. The narrator calls a friend, but it's 3 PM and no one's around, setting a slightly melancholic, solitary tone. They're speeding down the highway, a feeling of exhilaration captured by the image of a "Specium Ray" shot into the sky, a reference to Ultraman. This initial burst of energy is quickly followed by a more grounded, almost somber memory of something burning along the Haneda coast, leaving behind only a small puff of smoke.
