Smile
サスケ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

涙浮かべて満員電車揺られる君
何処にも「居場所」見つけられずに
駅からの道
行き交う人に足踏まれて
いくらたってもこの街に馴れない
坂道登ってく自転車の学生
まぶしい背中に励まされたような
元気を出してさぁ涙ふいて

やっぱり笑顔が君には似合うから
元気を出して空見上げればほら
今日の悩みはちっぽけに思えるさ

夜の踏切君がつぶやいた寂しさ
列車の音にかき消されてしまうよ
家に帰りひとり開いたアルバムに
仲間たちと笑うあの日の君
元気を出してさぁ涙ふいて
そうだよ君は独りじゃないから
元気を出してまぶた閉じればほら
いつもそこには友達がいるから

元気を出してさぁ涙ふいて
やっぱり笑顔が君には似合うから

元気を出して空見上げればほら
今日の悩みはちっぽけに思えるさ

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Smile" by サスケ. The song portrays the struggles and loneliness faced by the singer, who is riding on a crowded train with tears in their eyes, unable to find a sense of belonging anywhere. They feel like they can't adapt to this city, constantly being stepped on by people passing by as they make their way from the station. However, their spirits are lifted by the sight of a student riding their bicycle uphill and their radiant back, which encourages them to wipe away their tears and put on a smile. The lyrics encourage the singer to find strength in their smile, reminding them that even when they look at the sky, their worries will seem insignificant.

In the second verse, the singer is seen whispering their loneliness at a night railroad crossing, but their words get drowned out by the sound of passing trains. When they return home and open a photo album alone, they see pictures of themselves laughing with friends from the past. This serves as a reminder that they are not alone and that their friends are always there for them. The lyrics once again remind the singer to find strength in their smile, suggesting that when they close their eyes, their friends will be there.
