甘い生活
パーキッツ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

満足したいのもっともっと
これぽっちじゃイヤイヤ
心の裏ではあなただって
欲しい、欲しいくせに

甘いオヤツをなぜそんなに
目の敵みたいに嫌いぶる
ウ・ソ・ツ・キ

燃やしましょう燃やせばいいの
すべてをチャラに灰になればいい
動きましょう明日を忘れて遠くへいくの
わたしはまだまだ
足りないわ... 足りないわ...

ナニをムキになって気にしてるの
十人十色でいいじゃない
右向け右の健康志向
ばかね、ばかみたいね

うす味じゃ口寂しいのよ
不自然よこういうの嫌いなの
美味しくない
タ・ベ・モ・ノ

流しましょう流せばいいの
すべてをチャラに水になればいい
動きましょう明日を忘れて遠くへいくの
わたしはまだまだ

足りないわ... 燃えたいわ...
足りないわ... 燃えたいわ...

Overall Meaning

The song "甘い生活" by パーキッツ is a contemplation of human desire for satisfaction and the tendency to reject things that we actually crave deep down. The lyrics express the desire for more satisfaction in life, as the person in the song states they are not satisfied with what they have and want more. The singer acknowledges that they actually want things that they pretend not to like or don't appreciate, highlighting the complexity of human desires and emotions.

The second verse talks about the hypocrisy of people rejecting sweet treats, which they actually want, in order to maintain an image of health and wellness. The use of the phrase "ウ・ソ・ツ・キ" (meaning hypocrite) emphasizes the irony in people's behavior towards indulgent foods. The chorus then shifts to the theme of burning everything down, expressing a desire for destruction and a fresh start. The singer wants to forget about tomorrow and escape to a place far away, believing that they are still lacking in something.

Overall, the song is a study in contradiction and desire, exploring how humans struggle with their own wants and needs, often rejecting things they desire in order to uphold a certain image or persona.
