どんなときも
綾戸智絵 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
誰かに聞かなきゃ不安になってしまうよ
旅立つ僕の為にちかったあの夢は
古ぼけた教室のすみにおきざりのまま
あの泥だらけのスニーカーじゃ追い越せないのは
電車でも時間でもなく僕かもしれないけど
どんなときも どんなときも
「好きなものは好き!」と
言える気持ち抱きしめてたい
どんなときも どんなときも
迷い探し続ける日々が
答えになること僕は知ってるから
もしも他の誰かを知らずに傷つけても
絶対ゆずれない夢が僕にはあるよ
"昔は良かったね"といつも口にしながら
生きて行くのは本当に嫌だから
消えたいくらい辛い気持ち抱えていても
鏡の前笑ってみるまだ平気みたいだよ
どんなときも どんなときも
ビルの間 窮屈そうに
落ちて行く夕陽に
焦る気持ち溶かして行こう
そしていつか誰かを愛し
その人を守れる強さを
自分の力に変えて行けるように
どんなときも どんなときも
僕が僕らしくあるために
「好きなものは好き!」と
言える気持ち抱きしめてたい
どんなときも どんなときも
迷い探し続ける日々が
答えになること僕は知ってるから
The song "どんなときも" by 綾戸智絵 is a song about self-discovery and being true to oneself. The lyrics explore the internal struggles of the singer, who is questioning whether or not he is being honest with himself about who he is. The first verse asks if the singer's back is really as honest as he thinks it is and wonders if he gets anxious when he doesn't share his thoughts with someone. The second verse discusses the importance of knowing oneself and the difficulty of finding answers to the questions that plague us all. The line "迷い探し続ける日々が答えになること僕は知ってるから" suggests that the process of searching for answers is just as important as actually finding them.
The chorus of the song reinforces the message that the singer wants to be true to himself and hold onto what he loves, even in difficult times. The line "「好きなものは好き!」と言える気持ち抱きしめてたい" encapsulates this sentiment. The final verse encourages the listener to take their struggles and use them to become a stronger person who is capable of loving and protecting others. The overall message of the song is about embracing who you are and living your life honestly.

That dream that was close to me when I left.

At the corner of an old, run-down classroom, unnoticed.

It's because I can't outrun them with those muddy sneakers.

It might be me, not the train or the time.

消えたいくらい辛い気持ち抱えていても
鏡の前笑ってみるまだ平気みたいだよ
Even if I'm carrying such a painful feeling that I want to disappear,
When I smile in front of the mirror, it seems like I'm okay.
ビルの間 窮屈そうに
落ちて行く夕陽に
焦る気持ち溶かして行こう
Let's melt away the feeling of impatience
In the sunset falling between the buildings in tight spaces.
そしていつか誰かを愛し
その人を守れる強さを
自分の力に変えて行けるように
So that someday I can love someone
And turn their protection into my own strength.
