別にどうって事でもないし
梶芽衣子 (Meiko Kaji) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

喪(うしな)ったのは
木枯らし吹き込む 安い部屋の中
別にどうって 事でもないし
畳の目の数 数えてた

靡(なび)かせたのは
孤児みたいに 死んだ姪の男
別にどうって 事でもないし
創った生い立ち 話してた

捨てさせたのは
枕に見馴れぬ 髪の毛が一筋(ひとつ)




別にどうって 事でもないし
生命の序でに 生きて行く

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 梶芽衣子 (Meiko Kaji)'s song 別にどうって事でもないし convey a sense of indifference towards life and its experiences. The opening lines describe the wind blowing into a cheap room, where the singer has lost something important but can't bring themselves to care. They spend their time counting the tatami mats in the room, implying a sense of detachment and disinterest in their surroundings.


The second verse describes the singer talking about their created past, like an orphan sharing the story of a deceased nephew. They speak of it in a detached manner, as if it's not their own life, and the message of the song becomes clearer as it continues. The third and final verse talks of the singer living life without attachments, having thrown something away, and now determined to live on their own terms.


Overall, the lyrics of this song seem to be conveying a message of living life without allowing oneself to be affected by loss, pain or other emotions that come with the human experience. The singer seems to inhabit this space of independence where they don't care for anything, and are determined to live life as if the events that transpired never affected them.
