Just One
西沢幸奏 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
鳴らす音だけが
寂しく路地に響いて
それだけでなんだか
言い表せなくて 胸が少し痛くて
ただ歩いてる 歩いてる
当てなんかないや
繰り返す人って
恵まれてる時もずっと
満たされないままだ
今日 笑顔になった数と
悲しくなった数を
数え比べて 悔しさを作っていた
僕にだって出来ることより
僕だけにしか出来ないことを
したいと
歌を歌うよ
声に出した 答えが
このやさしい風が
君をずっと待っていたんだって
気がして可笑しかった
どんな命も 同じ価値ならもう
こんなにもすべて
欲しくならなくていいのかな
甘い 夢を見て
いつしか 諦める人って
真面目でいる時にけっこう
間違えているのに
今日 何かを知った数と
忘れていった数を
重ねていっても
大人にはなれなくって
いつも誰かになりたくて
無理なんだって辛くなるの
そんなこと 当たり前だよ
声に出した 答えが
このやさしい風が
君はずっと君と向き合って
行けって囁くんだ
どんな人でも 心は一つだ
こんなにも近くて 見えないね
探してよ 呼び戻してよ
その心で 描いてく姿を
弱さ 強さ 全部本当なら
見たことのない花 咲かせていこう
夕日に今 染まっていく
少し強い風が
僕の背中押しているから
声に出した 答えが
このやさしい風が
君をずっと待っていたんだって
気がして可笑しかった
どんな命も 同じ価値ならもう
こんなにもすべて
欲しくならなくても いいから
The song "Just One" by 西沢幸奏 is about feelings of loneliness and the desire to find purpose in life. The lyrics express a sense of pain and isolation as the singer walks the streets alone, unable to articulate their emotions. The repetition of the phrase "ただ歩いてる 歩いてる" emphasizes the singer's feelings of aimlessness and lack of direction. The song suggests that simply going through the motions of life, without striving to make a meaningful impact or connect deeply with others, leads to a sense of unfulfillment.
The song also encourages listeners to find their own unique path and make a difference in the world. The line "僕にだって出来ることより僕だけにしか出来ないことをしたいと歌を歌うよ" (I want to sing a song about doing something that only I can do, rather than just doing what anyone could do) highlights this theme. The song suggests that true fulfillment comes from pursuing one's passions and making a positive impact in the world.
Overall, "Just One" is a deeply introspective song that encourages listeners to find their own unique path in life and strive to make a meaningful impact on the world around them.

淡い 夕方 僕の靴が
In the pale evening, the only sound heard is that of my shoes, echoing in the lonely alley
鳴らす音だけが
Only the sound of my shoes can be heard

それだけでなんだか
Somehow from that alone
言い表せなくて 胸が少し痛くて
Unable to express, my heart becomes a little painful
ただ歩いてる 歩いてる
I am just walking, walking
当てなんかないや
Without any aim
青い 日々を過ごすだけを
Just spending the blue days

The people who repeat it
恵まれてる時もずっと

They remain unfulfilled

声に出した 答えが
The answer, which I gave voice to
このやさしい風が
This gentle wind
君をずっと待っていたんだって
Has been waiting for you all along, I believe,
気がして可笑しかった
It felt like a funny notion to entertain
どんな命も 同じ価値ならもう
If every life is of equal value
こんなにもすべて 欲しくならなくていいのかな
Do I really need all this when I no longer desire them
甘い 夢を見て
Having sweet dreams,

真面目でいる時にけっこう
Ironically, while they diligently go about their affairs,
間違えているのに
They are making mistakes

忘れていった数を
The number of things forgotten
重ねていっても
If they accumulate

Always wishing to become someone else
無理なんだって辛くなるの
Feeling that it's impossible and becoming bitter
そんなこと 当たり前だよ
It's only natural,

The answer, which I gave voice to
このやさしい風が
This gentle wind
君はずっと君と向き合って
Telling you to always face yourself
行けって囁くんだ
Whispering 'go'

No matter what kind of person you are, the heart is the same
こんなにも近くて 見えないね
We are so close, yet we can't see each other
探してよ 呼び戻してよ
Search for it, call it back
その心で 描いてく姿を
With your heart, draw the figure that lies before you
弱さ 強さ 全部本当なら
If all the weakness and the strength are truly real
見たことのない花 咲かせていこう
Let's bloom a flower you have never seen before
夕日に今 染まっていく
Getting dyed by the evening sun right now
少し強い風が
A slightly stronger wind
僕の背中押しているから
Is pushing me from behind
声に出した 答えが
The answer, which I gave voice to
このやさしい風が
This gentle wind
君をずっと待っていたんだって
Has been waiting for you all along, I believe,
気がして可笑しかった
It felt like a funny notion to entertain
どんな命も 同じ価値ならもう
If every life is of equal value
こんなにもすべて 欲しくならなくても いいから
It's okay to not want all of this, even though it all looks so inviting
