RUN RUNAWAY
男闘呼組 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Growin growin to the night
ビルの壁を殴りつけながら
お前に背を向けるぜ
うごめく街 夢の戦場さ
走れねえ 縛られてちゃ
"ゴミ屑のように 忘れろ俺を"と
口唇噛みしめて
RUNAWAY
黄金の絆が ギザギザきしむけど
RUN RUNAWAY
最後のロンリネス
渡ってゆくぜ
夜の風がナイフに変わるぜ
優しさ 切り刻んで
ガラクタでも ただ俺の今を
闘い続けるのさ
ろくな生き方も 教えちゃくれねえ
奴らを 蹴飛ばして
RUNAWAY
スレッカラシのガキだとほざかれても
RUN RUNAWAY
お前との夏
悔やんでないぜ
RUNAWAY
黄金の絆が ギザギザきしむけど
RUN RUNAWAY
最後のロンリネス
渡ってゆくぜ
Growin growin to the night
Growin growin to the night
The lyrics to the song "RUN RUNAWAY" by 男闘呼組 (Otoko-tai) seem to be about a young man's struggle to break free from societal constraints and follow his own path. The first two lines, "Growin growin to the night," suggest a desire to grow and progress, possibly in secret or under cover of darkness. The next line, "ビルの壁を殴りつけながらお前に背を向けるぜ" (Biru no kabe wo naguritsuke nagara omae ni se wo mukeru ze), translates to "While pounding on the walls of buildings, I turn my back to you." This implies a level of frustration or anger, possibly directed towards whoever is trying to hold him back.
The lyrics mention a "うごめく街 夢の戦場さ" (ugomeku machi yume no senjo sa), or "squirming city, a battlefield of dreams." This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the challenges and obstacles that the singer faces in pursuit of his goals. He laments that he can't run free, feeling weighed down and restricted. He hears the words "Forget me like trash" and bites his lips in frustration.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses his determination to continue fighting against the odds, even if it means being considered an outcast or a "slacker kid." He says that he is willing to fight with whatever scraps he has and will overcome the loneliness at the end of the road.
