毛皮のマリーズ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

笑われて生きるのは
ツラいコトじゃない
バカはホントによく笑う、
本当のバカは笑わない
僕を笑ってるヤツらは
バカをこじらせて死ねばいい
僕は絶対に笑わない
恋をしてるから

抱きしめあえばいいのに
涙流していいのに
それすらできない、
とても大切でできない
知らない街に降りしきる5月の雨
もうこれ以上悪くなるコトは
なにもない
なにかを待ってるのは
悪いコトじゃない
バカはなんでもあきらめる、
本当のバカは信じてる
僕を笑ってるヤツらが
守らなかった約束を
僕は今でも信じてる
夢を見てるから
忘れられたらいいのに
もう待たなくていいのに
それすらできない、
とても大切でできない
知らない街に降りしきる5月の雨
もうこれ以上悪くなるコトは
なにもない

今君が信じてる夢もきっとそうさ
もう死んでしまいたいほど
ツラい恋もきっとそうさ
何も信じられなくても
全て失い、傷ついても
あきらめないのが君だろ?
それが僕らのやり方だろ
知らない街に降りしきる5月の雨

もうこれ以上悪くなるコトは
なにもない ...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 毛皮のマリーズ's song "それすらできない" (Sore Suradekinai) express a sense of frustration and pain in living while being laughed at. The singer acknowledges that being laughed at is not an easy thing to endure, but notes that fools often laugh the most, while the true fools do not. The singer wishes that those who laugh at them would suffer the consequences of their foolishness and ultimately die. However, despite the pain, the singer remains resolute and steadfast, refusing to be swayed by the laughter because they are in love. The singer longs for an embrace and the freedom to shed tears, but even that seems impossible for them. The chorus repeats the phrase "それすらできない" (Sore Suradekinai), emphasizing the importance and inability to do something so significant, possibly referring to expressing their emotions or vulnerability. The singer finds themselves standing alone in an unfamiliar city, as the rain pours down in May, symbolizing a sense of melancholy and isolation. They declare that there is nothing worse that can happen anymore.
