Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

あいつらが簡単にやっちまう
３０回のセックスよりも
「グミ・チョコレート・パイン」を
青春時代に一回
読むってことの方が
僕ととっては価値があるのさ
現実なんて見るもんか
現実なんて見るもんか

アンチ愛と平和
アンチ愛と平和
アンチウッドストック
アンチ乱交パーティー
I HATE MYSELF AND I WANT TO DIE.
大嫌い僕自身
十七歳
十七歳
あいつらが簡単に口にする
１００回の「愛してる」よりも
大学ノート５０ページにわたって
あの娘の名前を書いてた方が
僕にとっては価値があるのさ
現実なんて知るもんか

現実なんて知るもんか
犬人間

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 銀杏BOYZ/GOING STEADY's song 十七歳 highlight the value of youthful romanticism and the rejection of societal norms regarding sex and relationships. The singer expresses that reading the novel "Gummy, Chocolate, Pine" just once during his teenage years is more valuable than having sex 30 times. He rejects the idea of focusing on reality, opting instead for a world of love and peace. The lyrics then express a rejection of societal events such as Woodstock and group sex parties, stating "I hate myself and I want to die."

The second verse continues this theme, comparing the value of professing love 100 times to spending 50 pages writing the name of a loved one in a university notebook. Again, the singer emphasizes the importance of youthful romance and sentimentality, rejecting the idea of becoming jaded with age and focusing on reality. The last line, "犬人間," roughly translates to "dog person," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for rejecting societal constructs and embracing a simpler, more natural existence.
