熊川みゆ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
未来はちょっぴり怖くて
ただ今は全てを捨ててしまいたい
愛想笑いと嘘を続けて
二つの世界で居場所を探して
自信を持てる何かが欲しくて
そんな自分を嫌って違くて
I changed, changed everything
大人なんて誰もいなくて
みんな本当は大声を出して
泣いていたいんだ
泣いていたいんだ
変わらないものなんてなくて
僕等残酷に変わってくけど
忘れたくないんだ
忘れたくないんだ
あの少女のように無垢で真っ直ぐな瞳は僕にはもうないけれど
How old am I？
How old am I？
あの頃の僕には絶対に無い光る何か持ってるはずだから
How old am I？ I...
I'm sixteen years old
I'm sixteen years old
嫌われるのは好きじゃない
好かれるのは嫌いじゃない
ただ空気みたいになるのが寂しくて
傷をつけて傷つけられて
一体何になるんだろう
この小さすぎる世界で
夢は大きくて叶いそうになくて
この空に大きくぶち撒けた
I will be, I will be
茜色の夕日 思い出数えた
これから増えてくもの
楽しさ喜び苦しみ痛みも
どちらかといえば回り道ばっか
後悔も語れないけど
これでいいんだ 全部いいんだ
大人なんて誰もいなくて
みんな本当は大声を出して
泣いていたいんだ
泣いていたいんだ
変わらないものなんてなくて
僕等残酷に変わってくけど
忘れたくないんだ
忘れたくないんだ
今日より少しいい明日を願い
日常からの出口を探して
How old am I？
How old am I？
幼き日々が懐かしく思える
この湧き上がる気持ちは一体何だろう
It's sixteen years old
It's sixteen years old
The song 「Sixteen」 by 熊川みゆ is a reflective piece about growing up and coming of age. The lyrics convey the singer's ambiguity towards their past, apprehension towards their future, while yearning to live for the present moment. The singer opens with "I don't hate the past, the future is a little scary, and in the present, I just want to throw everything away." It captures the singer's inability to let go of their childhood, while also trying to find their place in the world. The singer feels lost and torn between two worlds, one where they have to fake their smiles and lie to find their place, and another where they have to embrace their true selves with confidence. The chorus tells of their desire to be understood and to find security in their identity, which often feels like an unattainable dream. The singer concludes that they may not have the same innocent and pure eyes as the child they once were, but they hold on to a hope that something beautiful exists within them, even at sixteen.
The song takes us through the journey of growing up from adolescence into young adulthood, as the singer reflects on their past experiences, regrets, and hopes for a better future. The lyrics convey emotions of confusion, loneliness, and a desire to find one's place in the world. Despite the frightening sense of change, the singer highlights a sense of hopeful optimism towards the future while cherishing the memories of their past. The song encourages listeners to embrace their true selves with confidence and proudly face life's challenges head-on.

I wonder what this overflowing feeling is
It's sixteen years old
It's sixteen years old
