Break Down
ギルガメッシュ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think 大人達は言う
正しく生きろ
数ある答えの中で
正すモノがそう
侵してるのに
一体何を信じれば?
Don't you know
『Why I'm Me!』
取り巻く【evil】
道中は荒波
自分らしくとは?
現代の傾向に
皆がgive up
夢追い人よさぁ!
強がり笑え今Boys＆Girls
涙見せないよに
Boys＆Girls
笑顔になれば強くなれるさ
遥か未来の景色なんて
誰も分かりはしないだろ?
"これから"は今
君が掴むもの
I think この歌でもし
誰か救えたら
俺の願う事が1つ
叶えられるんだ
こんな俺でも
誰か動かす力が?
Don't you know
『Why I'm Me!』
取り巻く【evil】
道中は荒波
自分らしくとは?
現代の傾向に
皆がgive up
夢追い人よさぁ!
君が笑顔になれないなら
俺も笑えはしないだろ
共に支えこの場所で歌え
全力で夢追えるなら
何度でもくじけりゃいいさ
それでも星は回り
明日は来る
『今の若者なってない』
Why? そうさそりゃ
育てたお前等が
子供に向き合ってない
Your life
だから俺達は迷い続け
強がり笑え今Boys＆Girls
涙見せないよに
Boys＆Girls
笑顔になれば強くなれるさ
遥か未来の景色なんて
誰も分かりはしないだろ?
"これから"は今
君が掴むもの

And you're not facing the children.

So we continue to wander,
