Only dissatisfaction
つよく叩いても
No one turns around. 一人佇む
ただ歩いてるだけじゃ
掴めるわけない wish
飾り立ててるだけじゃ
いつか剥がれだす peel
真実はそこには無い
Nothing is obtained. 今は
もがき苦しまなければ
生きてる価値など
行く手阻む自分の胸に
Look for hard. 'Truth'
Look for hard. 'Real'

Only frustration いつも抱えても
Even in the future 声をかけない
まだ諦めるだけの
距離にも満たない meter
振り向いたって何も
あるわけない empty
本当の姿じゃない
Nothing is understood. だから
痛みも悲しみさえも
生きてる意味だと
行く手阻む自分の胸に
Look for hard. 'Truth'
Look for hard. 'Real'

Only dissatisfaction
No one turns around.
ただ歩いてるだけじゃ
掴めるわけない wish
飾り立ててるだけじゃ
いつか剥がれだす peel
真実はそこには無い
Nothing is obtained. 今は
もがき苦しまなければ
生きてる価値など
行く手阻む自分の胸に
Look for hard. 'Truth'
Look for hard. 'Real'

Overall Meaning

In 川田まみ's song TRILL, the lyrics explore themes of dissatisfaction and frustration in one's search for truth and understanding. The first stanza reflects feelings of isolation with the repeated phrase "no one turns around," suggesting a lack of acknowledgement or recognition from others. The singer is left to stand alone and search for their own sense of purpose and meaning. The lines "只歩いてるだけじゃ掴めるわけないwish" ("Just walking won't grant my wish") and "飾り立ててるだけじゃいつか剥がれだすpeel" ("Just decorating won't last, it will eventually peel off") reflect the idea that just going through the motions or putting on a facade won't bring true satisfaction or understanding.

The second stanza continues the theme of frustration and an inability to connect with others. The singer expresses the feeling of being stuck in a place of resignation and hopelessness, unable to break out of their current state. The line "行く手阻む自分の胸にLook for hard. 'Truth' Look for hard. 'Real'" ("Look for Truth Look for Real in your own heart that blocks your way") suggests that the solution lies within oneself, and that true understanding and fulfillment can only be found by confronting and working through personal struggles.

Overall, the lyrics of TRILL reflect the universal human experience of feeling lost and searching for purpose, while highlighting the importance of introspection and self-discovery in the journey towards truth.

I love all of Mami Kawada songs. I still remember I used to listen to some of her song from Shakugan no Shana when I was a kid with my sister. Ah, good times...
