どん底のブルース

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
寄ってたかってシカトされ
先生の前でもイジメを受けていた
よくある話と他人は言う
事実と違うと笑われる
弱き立場の叫びが聴こえるか?
嗚呼 ひとりぼっちの路地裏で
生きてこれたのは
夕焼け空があったから
嗚呼 人間なんて嫌だ
歌おう どん底のブルース
嗚呼 人生なんてショーだ
君に語ろう
もう人間なんて嫌だ
踊ろう暗黒のステージ
あてなどなく今日も行く
いつもドンパチやる前に
聖書に手を置く大統領がいる
神の名におき正義に酔いしれて
隣のあの娘が輪姦されて
綺麗なサンゴが汚れても
戦争に赴く基地は安保られる
嗚呼 みんな見て見ぬフリをして
本当は知っている
この平和の裏に
愚かな過去があったのを
嗚呼 人間なんて嫌だ
歌おうどん底のブルース
嗚呼 人生なんてショーだ
誰に捧ごう
もう人間なんて嫌だ
笑おう奈落の底で
愚痴肴に今日も飲もう
街の裏手にゃ汚泥の河川
ビルの谷間にやゴミの山
"都会のオアシス"の外は"灼熱の島"
どうせ死ぬのさ この俺も
現在が良ければそれでいい
他人や地球がどうなろうと構わない
嗚呼 コンクリートで塞がれた
故郷も泣いている
鋼鉄の斧を持って
政治家が森林をブッタ斬っている
嗚呼 人間なんて嫌だ
歌おうどん底のブルース
嗚呼 人生なんてショーだ
君に語ろう
もう人間なんて嫌だ
踊ろう暗黒のステージ
それでも陽は今日も昇る
In "どん底のブルース" by 桑田佳祐, the lyrics depict a sense of loneliness and despair. The singer shares their experience of being bullied and ignored in school, even by teachers. They express the frustration of being misunderstood, as others dismiss their experiences as common or laughable. The repeated question, "Can you hear the cries of the weak?" suggests a plea for empathy and understanding.
The chorus reflects on the singer's resilience and survival despite their hardships. In the back alleys, they wiped their tears and found solace in the beauty of a sunset sky. The lyrics express a dislike for humanity and the troubles of life, but also acknowledge the power of music and the blues to convey their feelings.
The second verse introduces a political element, painting a picture of a world where those in power, even presidents, invoke religion and justice while turning a blind eye to injustice and suffering. The contrast between a girl being raped and the corruption of previously pristine beauty, such as in tainted coral, highlights the hypocrisy and folly of war and the manipulation of power.
The lyrics also lament the collective refusal to acknowledge the darker aspects of peace, implying that peace is not simply the absence of conflict but may have a foolish past hidden behind it. The second chorus echoes the sentiment of hating humanity, as the singer sings the blues in the depths of despair, seeking solace in expressing their grievances.
The final verse depicts a grim urban landscape, with dirty rivers and mountains of garbage between the city's buildings. The lyrics express a fatalistic resignation and indifference towards the fate of oneself and others, as long as the present moment remains tolerable. The imagery portrays a disconnect between humanity and nature, with politicians destructive to the environment while the singer's hometown also weeps. Despite this disillusionment, the lyrics end with a glimmer of hope, acknowledging that the sun still rises every day, suggesting the possibility of a new beginning.
