Murphy's Law
吉田栄作 Lyrics

The lyrics to 吉田栄作’s song MURPHY’S LAW describe a person who is now crying despite usually being strong and not showing their emotions. They are overcome with self-blame, hitting their fists against a broken fence. However, they still hold onto the hope that if they can believe in their dreams, the shining past will not be a lie. They want to grasp at the sky and the sea with the feeling that they can achieve anything. They continue to believe in the path they have walked and the future they have chosen, living with faith. The lyrics also depict a scene where the person is running on a field to the point of exhaustion and collapses. Their face, burnt by the sun, is illuminated brightly. The person wants to believe in their dreams and feel pure freedom while they cannot sleep soundly within their heart. They call on hot wind and muster courage to fly again, high into the sky and grasp at the sky and the sea with the feeling that they can achieve anything, continuing to believe in the path they have walked and the future they have chosen.

One interpretation of the song could be that it is about the struggles and hardships that come with pursuing your dreams. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and beaten down by the obstacles that come your way and to doubt yourself. However, the singer in the song emphasizes the importance of believing in your dreams and having the courage to continue chasing after them. Through determination and perseverance, the singer encourages listeners to hold onto the hope that they can overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
