Just Do It
奥井雅美 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just do it 生まれた瞬間切った
スタートを最後まで
ゆっくりでいいから
Never give up したい
単調な日を過ごしてた
今日も同じ道歩いて
でもちょっと大きく深呼吸
ためしにやったら青空見えた

当たり前のように
オトナになり夢に目を伏せる
そんな僕だって
戦う場所がきっとある
Just do it 何がイチバンかなんて
本当は誰も決められない
生まれた瞬間切った
スタートの数だけ
あるチャンスを今は確かめたくて

ツカナイ星の下生まれ
あきらめていた
It's my life and dream
いつのまにか羡むのが癖になってた
何かのせいにして
地平線の中夕日が
消えて行っても気づかずに
ただひたすら走り笑顔で転んだ
Just like it
何がタダシイかなんて
あの頃考えもしなかった
ひたむきな情熱は
痛みさえどこかに飛ばした
もう一度Never give up しよう

Just do it 何かステキな事件を
もう一度探し始めたら
今の自分がちょっと
好きになったみたい毎日も...
何がイチバンかなんて
本当はきっと関係ない
生まれた瞬間切った
スタートを最後まで

ゆっくりでいいから
Never give up しよう

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Just Do It" by Maaya Sakamoto talk about overcoming one's fears and taking on life head-on. It opens by saying that one should start their journey from the moment they are born and see it through to the end. The song encourages people to take things slowly but to never give up on their dreams. The lyrics also talk about mundane lives and how we go through the same routine every day, but if we take a deep breath and try something different, we might see a new perspective on things. This is evident in the line, "But just take a deep breath, and try it (to) see a blue sky."

Maaya Sakamoto brings up that as an adult, many people tend to forget their dreams and aspirations and lose sight of what they want to achieve. However, she insists that deep down, everyone has a fighting spirit, and it's up to them to find their place to fight. The chorus of the song reiterates that no one knows what the number one thing is, and no one can decide for anyone else. So one must find their own path, starting from the moment they were born, and see it through to the end.

Overall, the lyrics of "Just Do It" encourage people to overcome their fears and find their fighting spirit that resides in everyone. At times, we may get lost or forget our dreams, but Maaya Sakamoto reminds us that it's never too late to pursue them and see them through.
