Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
自分ばっかり守ってたんだろ
人の痛みもわからずきちゃったね
何かできることあっただろうに
ほんとの私はもう少しやさしい
素直になれない自分がもどかしい
何ができるの? 私には?
I want to know the meaning of
I want to know the meaning of
your loneliness
I want to know the meaning of
peace and love
I want to know the meaning of
your loneliness
少しでも ちょっとでも
救ってあげることを
ちっぽけな 私でも
考えてみたいから
話してね 聞かせてね
あなたの遠い遠い目の
奥にある やさしさを 幸せを
さみしさを 悲しさを
そばにいればよかった自分が
そばにいるだけで それだけでも
ほんの少し ちょっとでも
何かの役にたてるなら
ソファで朝をむかえてもいい
外でうずくまっていてもいい
毛布1枚だけでもいい
I want to know the meaning of
peace and love
I want to know the meaning of
your loneliness
I want to know the meaning of
peace and love
I want to know the meaning of
your loneliness
今までは この地球(ほし)が
私を包んでくれてた
まわってた 動いてた
自由になってる気がした
息なんて できること
あたりまえに思ってた
少しでも 話したい
時々は大事なこと
少しでも ちょっとでも
救ってあげることを
ちっぽけな 私でも
考えてみたいから
話してね 聞かせてね
あなたの遠い遠い目の
奥にある やさしさを 幸せを
さみしさを 悲しさを
I want to know...
the meaning of peace and love
the meaning of peace and love
the meaning of peace and love
the meaning of your loneliness
The lyrics of "The Meaning of Peace" express a sense of regret and longing for connection and understanding. The singer reflects on how they have been too focused on their own protection and self-interest, and how they missed opportunities to help others and be more compassionate. The lines "何かできることあっただろうに" ("there must have been something I could have done") and "何ができるの? 私には?" ("what can I do?") convey a sense of frustration and helplessness, and the repetition of "I want to know the meaning of peace and love" and "the meaning of your loneliness" suggest a desire to bridge the gaps between oneself and others.
The lyrics also touch on themes of freedom and awareness, both on a personal level ("自分ばっかり守ってたんだろ") and a global one ("今まではこの地球(ほし)が私を包んでくれてた"). The desire to "知りたい" ("know") is a recurring motif, representing a yearning for knowledge, understanding, and connection. The song implies that peace and love are not just abstract concepts, but experiences that come from recognizing and empathizing with the emotions of others.
