Spitz - Robinson

I can never quite understand how certain songs have titles that are never mentioned in the lyrics of the song itself. Think Iris by Goo Goo Dolls.

Of late, I've been addicted to songs by Spitz and I find one song particularly nice. It's named "Robinson" from their 1995 Honey album. When I read the lyrics, nowhere did the title name "Robinson" appear throughout the whole song. In fact, I don't know how "Robinson" is related to the meaning of the song, or what "Robinson" means at all. You can read the kanji and tell me. In the meantime, the song's on repeat mode in my playlist.

ロビンソン
(Robinson)

新しい季節は なぜかせつない日々で
かわらの道を自転車で 走る君を追い変えた
思い出のレコードと大げさなエピソードを
疲れた方にぶら下げて しかめ面まぶしそうに

同じセリフ同じ時 思わず口にするような
ありふれたこの魔法で 作り上げたよう

誰も触れない 二人だけの国
君の手を離さぬように
大きな力で 空に浮かべたら
ルララ宇宙の風に乗る

片隅に捨てられて 呼吸をやめない猫も
どこか似ている 抱き上げて 無理やりにほほ寄せるよ
いつもの交差点で 見上げた丸い窓は
うすよごれてる ぎりぎりの みかずきも僕を見てた

待ち伏せた夢のほとり 驚いた君の瞳
そして僕ら今ここで 生まれ変わるよ

誰も触れない 二人だけの国
終わらない歌ばら撒いて
大きな力で 空に浮かべたら
ルララ宇宙の風に乗る

大きな力で 空に浮かべたら
ルララ宇宙の風に乗る
ルララ宇宙の風に乗る

The song relates to the story of Robinson Crusoe. He sings of how he wants to be together with (a girl he likes) to have there own land where no one can touch them, floating through the universe, riding on the wind.
