くり返し流れる時代の中で
人は幾度と過ちを犯す
全ての民が笑える明日に
聞こえてくるのは誰の言葉か
wow wow wow
昨日見た夢の続きは今日も
大事な所で終わって消えた
崩れ落ちる現実の明日に

聞こえてくるのは誰の叫びか
wow wow wow
To the world with our effort
no one takes off the
barrier of hearts
To the world with our effort
Our cry will surely reaches
to the world
wow wow wow
くり返し流れる時代の中で
人は幾度と過ちを犯す
Why's the world crying?

Look at yourself in a mirror
wow wow wow

Overall Meaning

In the song, "W.O.W." by 175R, the lyrics express a sense of frustration and hopelessness in the face of the repeating cycles of life. The first stanza conveys this with the line, "In the midst of repeating times, people make mistakes over and over again." The repetition of "wow wow wow" at the end of each stanza seems to emphasize this sense of futility. In the second stanza, the lyrics describe the disappointment of waking up from a great dream only to have it end abruptly and fade away, while facing the reality that tomorrow may not be any better.

However, despite the difficulties faced in life, the chorus conveys a message of hope and perseverance. The lines, "To the world with our effort, no one takes off the barrier of hearts" and "Our cry will surely reach to the world" suggest that it is important to keep striving and working towards a better future, even if it feels like progress is slow or impossible. The final line, "Look at yourself in a mirror", seems to encourage listeners to take personal responsibility for their actions and how they contribute to the world around them.
