働く男
ユニコーン Lyrics

The song 働く男 by ユニコーン is about a man who works hard at his job to impress his girlfriend. He describes how his girlfriend likes a man who is capable of working and he puts a lot of effort into his job, but he finds it boring and tiring. Even though he works for a competitive company and has connections, he feels like he can't quit his job because of his family ties. He spends his nights alone in his apartment, sleeping after a long day of work.

The chorus repeats that he is always alone, sleeping for tomorrow, and he can’t do anything but dream about his girlfriend. He longs to see her but is too tired from work to have any energy to do anything else. He describes her hair and walking, but he only sees them in his dreams because he is always sleeping or working. Even though he remembers her naked body and the sound of her voice, he can only dream of her because he is never awake or free enough to be with her.

The song depicts a man who is caught up in the cycle of working hard but not being able to enjoy his life. He prioritizes work over his own happiness and misses his girlfriend. The lyrics are relatable for many people who work long hours and struggle to balance their personal and work life. The song is accompanied by a rock melody that combines pop-rock, punk, and folk music.
