彼女にふられ三秒後財布をなくしちゃって
靴底のガムとろうとして自転車にはねられる
いつだって僕の人生はこんな感じです

コンビニバイト三年目もうなんか嫌になっちゃって
店を飛び出せばいつぞやの自転車にはねられる
宙に浮かんで思わず漏れる「俺がんばれ」

この最悪な日々を越えても
そこに待つのもまた最悪な日々かい?
これ以上落ちることなどないでしょう?!
だからこのまま舞い上がれ神様頼むよ

ママにすがられパパに叱られ犬に追いかけられ
夢を信じてそれでも信じて夢は夢で終わる?
いつまでこんな毎日を繰り返すんだろう

この最悪な日々を越えても
そこに待つのもまた最悪な日々かい?
なにゆえ僕は生まれてきたんだろう?
あぁもう考えんのやめるよ悲しくなるから

枯れてしまった勇気つぎはぎだらけの誇り
惨めな僕に栄光あれさもしい心よ去れ
まばたきする間に明日が変わればいいのに

この最悪な日々を越えていけ!
そこにあるのはたぶん最高な日々だい!
これ以上落ちることなどないでしょ?!
だからここから這い上がれ神様見てろよ

神様見てろよ神様見てろよ神様見てろよ

神様見てろよ神様見てろよ
神様頼むよ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 秦基博's song "Saiaku no Hibi" (Worst Days) depict a series of unfortunate events and the singer's feeling of being trapped in a cycle of misfortune. The song starts with the singer being rejected by his girlfriend and immediately losing his wallet. As he tries to remove gum stuck to the sole of his shoe, he gets hit by a bicycle. These incidents reflect his ongoing experience of his life always being like this. In the second verse, he expresses his frustration with his convenience store job and decides to run away, but once again, he gets hit by a bicycle, finding himself floating in the air and whispering, "I'll do my best."

Throughout the song, the singer questions whether there will ever be an end to these worst days and wonders if the future holds more of the same. He asks, "Will there be more worst days waiting for me?" He begins to doubt the purpose of his existence, asking, "Why was I born?" However, he decides to stop thinking about it because it only brings sadness. He sings about his lost courage and pride, wishing for a glorious future and hoping that tomorrow will bring a change. Ultimately, he pleads with God to help him rise above his current circumstances.

Overall, "Saiaku no Hibi" is a poignant song that explores the feelings of despair, frustration, and hopelessness that can arise from a seemingly endless cycle of misfortune. It reflects the universal human experience of questioning one's purpose and longing for a better future.
