リライト
ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
存在の証明が他にないから
掴んだはずの僕の未来は
「尊厳」と「自由」で矛盾してるよ
歪んだ残像を消し去りたいのは
自分の限界をそこに見るから
自意識過剰な僕の窓には
去年のカレンダー、日付がないよ
消してリライトして
くだらない超幻想
忘れられぬ存在感を
起死回生リライトして
意味のない想像も
君を成す原動力全身全霊を
くれよ
芽生えてた感情切って泣いて
所詮ただ凡庸知って泣いて
腐った心を、薄汚い嘘を
消してリライトして
くだらない超幻想
忘れられぬ存在感を
起死回生リライトして
意味のない想像も
君を成す原動力全身全霊を
くれよ
The lyrics to ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION's "リライト" ("Rewrite") speaks to the desire to express and rid oneself of inner conflict and limitations in order to find purpose and define oneself. The first stanza begins with the desire to release pent up emotions, as the only means of proof of one's existence is in the struggle to express oneself. The contradiction between nobility and freedom in the singer's future is a representation of the internal struggle they face.
In the second stanza, the singer wishes to erase distorted reflections, as they only serve as a reminder of their own limitations. The singer is self-aware, perhaps overly so, and this is represented by the old calendar that hangs in their window without a date from the previous year. The chorus presents the desire to rewrite and forget mundane fantasies, while holding onto the unforgettable sense of existence.
The final stanza speaks to the cutting off and crying over the budding feelings, realizing they are just mundane, and crying over a corroded heart and filthy lies that need forgetting. The chorus reprises again, symbolizing the necessity to rewrite, but this time it speaks to the importance of imagination as the driving force that is necessary for the singer's survival.

//Letra
Estos pensamientos de verdad quiero borrar,
si no existe prueba de que mi vida valdrá,
éste es el futuro que hoy tengo que llevar,
tan contradictorio realidad o libertad.
Queriendo tan sólo las imágenes guardar,
para que pueda ver hasta dónde puedo dar,
miré en la ventana toda mi vitalidad,
en el calendario no hay fechas créelo...
... Borré, Reescribiré ... la inútil fantasía,
el sentimiento que quedó...
... Renacer, Reescribiré ...
la poca imaginación
la fuerza que motiva para el corazón,
corazón, woh! ...
Después de haber frenado todo lo que sentí
después de darlo todo yo sin fuerzas lloré,
se mata mi corazón...
por la asquerosa traición...
... Borré, Reescribiré ... la inútil fantasía,
el sentimiento que quedó...
... Renacer, Reescribiré ...
la poca imaginación
la fuerza que motiva para el corazón,
corazón, woh! ... !
... Oh!, Yeah!, Yeah!, Yeah!

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR 14 YEARS. 14 YEARS IT WAS IN MY MIND. I FOUND IT TODAY OMG I'M CRYING. I LOVE THIS SONG. I FOUND IT IN 2006 NOW IT'S MAY 10 2020. I NEVER KNEW THE NAME JUST THE TUNE. I FOUND THE NAME IN A THROWBACK JPOP VIDEO FROM 2004. THIS SONG NEVER LEFT MY HEAD. I SAW IT FIRST IN A GOKUSEN MV WHEN I WAS 12 NOW I AM 26. LOVE FROM INDIA
