チェッカーズ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woo missing you,baby
Mr.BOY 忘れかけてた
Mr.BOY 君をさがした
知らず知らずに
はぐれたのさなぜか
華やかな迷路の中を
迷い抜け出せなくて
君に会いたい気ばかり焦る

Mr.Boy ねえどこにいるの
Mr.Boy 叫んでごらん
遠く遠くへ聞こえないよもっと
たぶん君は消えてゆくよ
もう会えない気がする
僕はここだよ
Stop,wander in the dream
大人のくせに君は
(Searching Mr.BOY)
心だけで歌うよ
子供のくせに君は
(Searching Mr.BOY)
言葉だけで踊り続けるよ

Mr.Boy 瞳と心を
Mr.Boy 忘れはしないさ
回る回るよ時間だけが回る
あの時と同じ笑顔を
ずっとさがし続ける
君が僕だよ
Stop,wander in the dream
大人のくせに君は
(Searching Mr.BOY)
心だけで歌うよ
子供のくせに君は
(Searching Mr. BOY)
言葉だけで踊り続けるよ
Mr.BOY 忘れかけてた
Mr.BOY 君をさがした
知らず知らずに
はぐれたのさなぜか
華やかな迷路の中を
迷い抜け出せなくて
君に会いたい
Stop,wander im the dream
Stop,wander in the dream

Woo missing you baby
Woo missing my baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of チェッカーズ's song Mr.BOYをさがして describe the search for a lost love, Mr. Boy. The singer is lost in a glamorous labyrinth and can't find a way out, but all he can think about is reuniting with Mr. Boy. There's a hint of desperation in the lyrics, as the singer cries out to Mr. Boy, trying to find him but feeling like he's disappearing out of reach. The lyrics deftly capture the sense of overwhelming emotion that comes with searching for something or someone that seems impossible to find.

The song's lyrics are full of contrasts, between adult and childlike behavior, words and actions, and the past and present. The singer is described as having an adult habit of getting lost in his dreams, but he also sings like a child, with only his heart and words to guide him. The repeated search for Mr. Boy creates a sense of timelessness and the way the singer seems to hold onto memories of Mr. Boy as a symbol of hope and a brighter future keeps the song from becoming overly melancholic. The repetition of the chorus adds to the song's emotional power, as the singer calls out for Mr. Boy again and again.
