My VOICE
ファンキー加藤 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
「ここにいるよ」と歌ってるんだ
Ah どこまでも遠く この歌声が
いつかまた君に届く日まで
元気に過ごしてますか?
僕の方は今も相変わらず
東京の街の片隅で
出会いと別れが多すぎて
心が麻痺してしまうんだ
それを強さと言うなら
僕は弱いままでいいよ
Ah 悲しみを越えて 大きな声で
「ここにいるよ」と歌ってるんだ
Ah どこまでも遠く この歌声が
いつかまた 君に届く日まで
君は覚えていますか?
願い込めて見上げた流れ星
一瞬の光だったけど
今も僕を照らしています
人混みの中に飲まれても
いつか気づいてもらえるように
背伸びをしながら
両手を目一杯広げ
生きてくよ
Ah 大切な君は きっと今でも
あの街で頑張っているんだ
Ah 負けないよ僕も 信じてみるよ
流れる涙の先の未来を
手を伸ばせばふらついて
追いかければつまずいて
希望抱けば傷ついて
"We are really crying"
そして人の痛みが分かった
優しさの意味を知った
前に進んでるから
壁にぶつかれるんだ
Ah 悲しみを越えて 大きな声で
「ここにいるよ」と歌ってるんだ
Ah どこまでも遠く この歌声が
いつかまた 君に届く日まで
大切な君よ 信じて行こう
流れる涙の先の未来を
The lyrics of ファンキー加藤's song "My VOICE" convey a message of overcoming sadness and singing with a loud voice to let others know that the singer is here. The song speaks about being in Tokyo and constantly thinking about someone, amidst the abundance of meetings and partings that eventually numb the heart. The singer acknowledges their weakness but believes that it is acceptable to remain that way. The lyrics express a longing for the day when their song will reach the person they are thinking of, no matter how far away it may be.
The lyrics also touch upon a shared memory between the singer and this person. They remember watching shooting stars and how even though it was just a brief moment of light, it still continues to guide and illuminate the singer. Despite getting lost in the crowds, the singer hopes that the person will eventually notice them, and they aspire to stretch themselves to their utmost potential, living their life to the fullest. The lyrics hold onto the belief that the important person is still persevering in that city, and the singer promises to not give up and trust in the future beyond the tears.
