欲しいものがわからなくても
なんでも手に入るから
欲望だけ刺激されて思考停止
夜に闇をむさぼるように
眠りに落ちてゆけば
自分が今誰かなんて夢の中
どこへ流されるの?
(Don't take me now)

僕の正体を突き止めろ
たった一度与えられた
いのちはチャンスだから
僕自身を勝ち得るため
魂(こころ)の旅を進んでゆく
この胸にうまれついた
生きる威力を武器に
孤独だって何度だって強くなれ

傷つくほど近づかないで
曖昧さがスタイル
冷えた皮膚じゃ感情的に
なれないから
何をおそれてるの?
(Don't let me down)
君に触れて未来が変わる
たった一人守れないで
生きてゆく甲斐がない
殴りかかる悲しみさえ
全身で打ちのめすだろう
この胸に蘇る愛の力を武器に
君の前でありのままで熱くなれ

どこへ流されるの?
(Don't take me now)
僕の正体を突き止めろ
たった一度与えられた
いのちはチャンスだから
僕自身を勝ち得るため
魂(こころ)の旅を進んでゆく
この胸にうまれついた

生きる威力を武器に
孤独だって何度だって強くなれ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of きただにひろし's "Revolution" reflect on the struggles of life and the importance of discovering oneself. The singer notes that even if we don't know what we want, we can get anything we desire, and greed can cloud our thoughts and stop us from progressing. The darkness of the night can engulf us, making us lose touch with ourselves as we escape into our dreams.

The singer reminds us that we have to search for our true selves and not be afraid to take risks. Life is a chance, and we have to seize it to win for ourselves. The journey towards self-actualization requires us to arm ourselves with the power to survive and thrive. The power comes from the strength of our hearts, and we must cultivate it to realize our potential.

The second verse of "Revolution" emphasizes the importance of having emotional depth in life. The singer notes that we cannot afford to be detached, as it's futile against the challenges of life. Fear can hold us back, and we may never learn to truly live if we allow it to rule us. We need to open ourselves up to love, pain, and vulnerability to experience the full spectrum of emotions that life has to offer. We must use the power of love to push through the difficulties and stand up again, even when we are knocked down.
