Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "どぉなっちゃってんだよ" by 岡村靖幸 (Yasuyuki Okamura) reflect a sense of rebellion and dissatisfaction with societal expectations. The song begins with the singer expressing their desire to be praised for their proud achievements during the summer. They sarcastically question whether they should punch their boss if they were to touch them inappropriately. This establishes a theme of challenging authority and conventional norms.

The next verse talks about the singer's habit of reading only manga and forgetting everything the next day. They dismiss the importance of serious matters and prioritize fashion instead. This suggests a tendency to escape from reality and immerse themselves in superficial aspects of life. The mention of "マンション" (mansion) in the chorus further emphasizes the materialistic mindset and aspirations associated with societal success.

The lyrics also touch on the singer's struggle to express their feelings honestly, despite desiring to be complimented like a child. They believe that if they try harder, they can attract more romantic attention from women. However, the sarcastic line about following the manual and living in a mansion suggests a critique of conforming to societal expectations rather than pursuing genuine happiness.

Overall, the lyrics of "どぉなっちゃってんだよ" convey a sense of disillusionment with societal pressures and the desire for a more authentic and fulfilling life.
