Reason To Scream
西沢幸奏 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
閉じこもって錆びた弦弾いたんだ
I don't wanna be
like someone else
Even if it's easy way of life
for myself
I feel like I will go crazy
I don't know why don't know why
叫んだ時 始まったメロディー
(Reason to scream)
ずっと頭の中に鳴り止まないままで
僕の痛みを許しているんだ
Advance to next phase
I was singing a song as I felt
with my guitar anytime anywhere
思い出せなくなりそうな日々の話さ
残っているのはいつも染み付いた
mind
古い願いを見捨てても運命のように
繰り返し
迎えに行くから
本当はもっと 大好きだって
叫んでまで欲しかったメロディー
(Reason to scream)
雨の音が強く拍車をかけてく
僕の痛みが証になる
Forever and a day
Will never forget
目まぐるしく変わる時代に
爪痕の残し方探している
僕らは言葉を知らない時から
もう夢を見てる
悔しいんだって 大嫌いだって
叫んだ時 始まったメロディー
(Reason to scream)
ずっと頭の中に鳴り止まないままで
僕の痛みを許しているんだ
Advance to next phase
The lyrics of "Reason to Scream" by 西沢幸奏 express a sense of frustration and restlessness in the midst of a rainy afternoon. The singer finds solace in playing their guitar, seeking an escape from conforming to societal expectations and the easy path. They feel a growing madness within themselves, unable to understand why. However, when they shout out their frustrations and dislikes, a melody is born - a melody that becomes their reason to scream. This recurring melody continues to resonate in their mind, allowing them to embrace their pain and move forward to the next phase of their life.
The song reflects the desire to be true to oneself, to reject conformity, and to find a voice amidst the chaos and challenges of life. It explores the complex emotions of frustration, self-discovery, and the pursuit of personal dreams. The repeated mention of pain suggests the importance of embracing and acknowledging one's struggles as a necessary part of growth and self-realization.
