Wind
明星 (Akeboshi) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Motivate your anger to make them all realize
Climbing the mountain, never coming down
Break into the contents, never falling down
My knee is still shaking, like I was twelve
Sneaking out the classroom by the back door
A man railed at me twice though, but I didn't care
Don't try to live so wise
Don't cry cause you're so right
Don't dry with fakes or fears
Cause you will hate yourself in the end
Don't try to live so wise
Don't cry cause you're so right
Don't dry with fakes or fears
Cause you will hate yourself in the end
You say "Dreams are dreams
I am not playing the fool anymore"
You say "Cause I still got my soul"
Take your time baby, your blood needs slowing down
Breach your soul to reach yourself before you gloom
Reflections of fear make shadows of nothing, shadow of nothing
Still are blind, if you see winding road
Cause there's always a straight way to the point you see
Don't try to live so wise
Don't cry cause you're so right
Don't dry with fakes or fears
Cause you will hate yourself in the end
Don't try to live so wise
Don't cry cause you're so right
Don't dry with fakes or fears
Cause you will hate yourself in the end
Don't try to live so wise
Don't cry cause you're so right
Don't dry with fakes or fears
Cause you will hate yourself in the end
Cause you will hate yourself in the end
Cause you will hate yourself in the end
Cause you will hate yourself in the end
Cause you will hate yourself in the end
The lyrics of "Wind," a song by Japanese singer-songwriter Akeboshi, speak of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and the importance of living life authentically. It's a song that encourages the listener to be true to themselves while cautioning them to be careful not to fall into the trap of living life according to others' standards or expectations. The chorus, which is repeated three times, serves as a reminder to the listener to not get caught up in the illusion of living a life that isn't their own.
The first verse advises the listener to cultivate their hunger before they begin to idealize. This attests to the importance of being hungry for life, for personal improvement, and for growth. It's necessary to have that hunger in order to reach your goals and become who you want to be. The second line instructs the listener to channel their anger in a constructive manner to make others understand them. This line urges people to express themselves and stand up for themselves, which is essential in being true to oneself.
The second verse speaks of the feeling of being free when sneaking out of a classroom, despite the fear of being caught. The next line of the verse implies that those who are always waiting for something will ultimately end up wasting their lives. It advises people to seize opportunities and to keep moving forward. The chorus is an affirmation that everyone should remember, to not forget to be themselves even when the world suggests otherwise.
Overall, the song's message is all about being true to oneself. It encourages the listener to embrace their fears and doubts, not to be afraid to be themselves, and to let go of the expectations of others. It inspires people to take control of their own lives fully, echoing the sentiment of living life according to their own standards and not someone else's.
