421000
岩崎琢 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No reason when you're living a lie
Don't tell me what I already know
I'm living memories of long ago
I fool myself, I deny it all
Wanna hide it away
Lost moments never caring enough
I was never good at playing it tough
Still believing you're the only one
It's always hard, never easier
To face another day alone
Every time it rains I fall apart
I start to remember
Every single time it rains
I think of you.
Some people never listen at all
Some people just don't know when to fall
How much longer do I need to pretend
How much honor do I have to defend
Its common knowlege, Its no mystery
Just another broken man.
Every time it rains I fall apart
I start to remember
Every single time it rains
I think of you.
The lyrics to "421000" by 岩崎琢 explore the pain of a breakup and the struggle to move on. The song begins with the singer admitting that they had no emotional response to their partner saying goodbye, and that they now realize their ex had been living a lie. This is compounded by the fact that the singer is still haunted by memories of their time together, and is unable to fully confront the reality of the situation. They know that they are fooling themselves and denying their feelings, but they cannot bring themselves to face the truth.
The chorus of the song centers around the metaphor of rain, which serves as a trigger for the singer's memories of their ex. The rain represents the sadness and heartbreak that they feel, and they admit that every time it rains, they fall apart and start to remember their lost love. The second verse acknowledges that some people never understand the pain of a breakup or how to move on, and the singer is left to wonder how much longer they need to pretend and how much they need to defend their honor. The song ends with the admission that the singer is just another broken man.
Overall, "421000" is a poignant reflection on the power of memories and the difficulty of letting go after a relationship ends.
