大人は信じてくれない
欅坂46 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
やりたいこともない 夢なんかひとつもない
心が叫び続けていたって
誰にも聴こえないよ (助けて)
大人は信じてくれない こんな孤独でいるのに
僕が絶望の淵にいるって思ってないんだ
Why? No way I can find my sign
どこかのゴミの上 カラスが鳴いているよ
嫌われ者でいい 愛なんか欲しくもない
涙を流し続けていたって
まだ気づいてないだろう (虚しい)
大人は判ってくれない 胸が苦しいことさえ
そうさ 自分が子供の頃を忘れているんだ
The past, memories are fading fast, you're losing control
Oh, don't give up, just tell me now, oh
もし 痛みが消えないなら 自分自身傷つけて
もっと強い痛みで忘れてしまおうか
やさしさに触れるだけで 真っ赤な血が滲んでくる
僕が 僕がいなくなったって (誰にも)
大人は信じてくれない こんな孤独でいるのに
僕が絶望の淵にいるって思ってないんだ
And why? Believe me, I really wanna die, don't ya know?
Why? No way I can find my sign
いつもと変わらない 誰も探してくれない
時代の片隅で 僕は殺されてるんだ
The song "大人は信じてくれない" by 欅坂46 is about the feeling of loneliness and isolation experienced by young people. The opening lines of the song, "There's nothing good, just another boring day. I have nothing I want to do, no dreams," express the sense of aimlessness and lack of purpose that can afflict youth. The singer's heart is screaming for help, but no one hears them. The chorus repeats the sentiment that adults don't believe the singer is suffering and alone.
The second verse deepens the sense of despair by describing the singer's surroundings. They feel like trash, hearing crows crying over their head. The singer has given up any desire for love or acceptance, having come to believe they are unlovable. Even if they cry, no one will notice. The bridge suggests that adults are too caught up in their own lives to empathize and have forgotten the feeling of being a child. The singer is losing control and feels like they're slowly being killed.
Overall, the song expresses the feeling of hopelessness and despair that can plague young people who feel unheard and unnoticed. It is a poignant expression of the struggles of youth and a call for greater empathy and understanding from adults.
