人として
海援隊 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
君の手を握りしめた
手渡す言葉も 何もないけど
思いのままに生きられず
心に石の礫なげて
自分を苦しめた 愚かさに気付く
私は悲しみ繰り返す
そうだ人なんだ
人として人に迷い
人として人に傷つき
人として人と別れて
それでも人しか 愛せない
夢を語り合えばいつも
言葉はすぐに 途切れてしまう
ひざを抱えて うつむくことばかり
鳥のように生きたいと
夕空見上げて佇むけれど
翼は愚かな あこがれと気付く
私は大地に影おとし 歩く人なんだ
人として人と出会い
人として人に迷い
人として人に傷つき
人として人と別れて
それでも人しか 愛せない
それでも人しか 愛せない
The lyrics of the song "人として" by 海援隊 (Kai En Tai) express the human experience of facing challenges in life and the need for human connection and love to overcome them. The song opens with the image of holding hands on a path that stretches out into the distance, but the singer realizes that they cannot simply live their lives according to their own desires. They throw stones at their own heart and come to understand their own foolishness, which leads to repeating cycles of sadness. However, despite the difficulties, they realize that the only way to truly live is to love and connect with others. The chorus emphasizes the idea of being human, meeting others, wandering, getting hurt, and parting ways, but still only being able to love other people.
