Turning Point
奥井雅美 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ニュースでにぎわう on the TV
答えや理由なんて
見当もつかないけど
生きている現実ほど飲み込まれたら
痛みとやさしさを きっと取り違う
悴んだ手をつないで
今は傷の舐め合いでも
It's turning point
見えない敵 叩き落とす時まで
幻覚 illusion の虜
「馴れ合い 身勝手
人間は厄介な生き物」
違うよダメだよそれが本当の身勝手
誰もが持つ可能性は裏腹なもの
冷めた傍観者もきっと罪になる
ひび割れた手をつないで
たとえ傷の舐め合いでも
後には引けない
It's turning point
とけない悪夢 叩きつぶす時まで
幻覚 illusion の虜
擦りきれた手をひらいて
疼く傷を引き裂いても
感じた痛みその瞬間
そう惑わされない
間違ったりしない
悴んだ手をつないで
今は傷の舐め合いでも
何処かにひそむ
It's turning point
見えない敵 笑い飛ばす時まで
幻覚 illusion
Never can get away
The lyrics of "Turning Point" by 奥井雅美 reflect on the unpredictability and complexity of life, as well as the importance of unity and resilience in times of hardship. The song starts with the singer acknowledging the sadness and mystery that surrounds the news on TV, which often provide no answers or reasons to the events happening around us. However, the singer also recognizes that facing the reality of life can sometimes lead to confusion and misunderstanding of pain and tenderness. Nevertheless, the singer encourages to hold onto each other's hands, even if it means licking each other's wounds, as they search for some meaning and solace in the midst of the chaos. The chorus echoes a determination to fight against invisible enemies and nightmares fueled by illusions, until the turning point, when they can finally break free from their captivity.
The second verse delves deeper into the complexity of human nature and relationships, which can sometimes lead to self-centeredness and conflicts. The singer challenges the easy way out of becoming indifferent or cynical towards others, as everyone's potential can have both positive and negative consequences. Even those who choose to remain aloof might eventually be held accountable for their inaction. The bridge highlights the importance of being aware of one's own pain, flaws, and limitations, and the strength that comes with embracing those vulnerabilities without being swayed by illusions or mistakes. The final chorus reinforces the resolve to overcome any obstacles and laugh in the face of their Invisible enemies, no matter how desperate the situation might seem.
