Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
いざ立ち上がれよ
I won't Give up 僕の限界は
自分で決めるものだから
まだまだ行けるさ Going NOW!!
「私のキモチなんて分からないと」
カベを作り 何も見えなくした
「自分なんて」と自信も
なくなってく
リタイア?
結果は付きもので
僕の影 それが全て
Hey Girls, Hey Boys
何もしないより
I try All things
やって悔やめばいい
きっと
その失敗が僕を強くしてくれる
Going NOW!!
何でも揃う便利な世の中を
あてにして勇気を探したって
簡単に手に入るものじゃないから
もうダメ?
僕はまだリングにさえ
立ってない 臆病者
Kick Out, Break Out
気持ちさえあれば
I won't Give up
できると信じて
誰にも勝たなくてもいい
自分に負けない
Going NOW!!
Kick Out, Break Out
たくさんの傷が
I won't Give up
勇気の証に
逃げないボクに
いくつもの幸せをくれる
Going NOW!!
ボクにベルトを捧げよう!
The song VS by misono is an empowering anthem that encourages the listener to trust in themselves and their abilities. The lyrics speak to the idea that we are capable of achieving anything we set our minds to, as long as we have the courage and determination to push through our fears and doubts. The chorus of the song repeats the line "Kick Out, Break Out," which serves as a powerful call to action to take a leap of faith and pursue what you truly desire.
The first verse addresses the notion that our limits are self-imposed, and that we have the power to decide how far we are willing to go. It also touches on the idea that we often build walls around ourselves out of fear, causing us to lose sight of what's really important. The second verse speaks to the fact that failure is an inevitable part of life, but it should not be feared or avoided. Instead, we should embrace our failures and use them as opportunities to learn and grow.
Overall, VS is a song that encourages listeners to believe in themselves and their abilities, to push past their fears and doubts, and to embrace the ups and downs of life as opportunities to grow and learn.
