SUPER STAR
長渕剛 Lyrics

The lyrics to 長渕剛's song "Super Star" speak of a young person's struggles and aspirations. The singer finds themselves stuck in a back alley, surrounded by the smell of oil and feeling frustrated with their current life. Looking up at the towering buildings, they reminisce about their past self, feeling unable to fulfill their dreams of freedom and soaring like a bird. Despite this, the singer finds comfort in the fact that they are a "Super Star," something that everyone cherishes, and they embrace this idea as they move forward.

The second verse talks about the singer's journey and the things they have overcome. They have come a long way, and they're proud of it. They've used a roadmap to help guide them through the tough times and now they look at their reflection in the mirror and see someone who has come a long way. They think about the people who have doubted them but they believe in themselves and their dreams. They realize that even though they may get hurt, they can still hold on to the honesty and vigor of their youth to guide them forward.

The song speaks to the universal need to believe in oneself and hold onto a dream. The singer's struggles and experiences in the lyrics mirror those of many young people on their path to success.
