Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
一瞬で迷子 行き先など考えても
人生は迷路 正解は無いぞ
いっそもっと踏み込め
不恰好で冴えなくても 変わんない僕等だっていいよ
わかんないぜここからが延長戦だ
くだんないことはこれ以上 くだんないままにしたっていいよ
見返してやろうぜ 昨日を
今回が最後 ってもう何回と
三振してアウト 敗走しては泣いていたろう
ちょっとした程度 そんくらいの才能
いっそ捨てちまった方がいいと
投げ入れた夢の 数だけ誇れ
もう失うものなんてない 名声を背負う必要もない
未完成で汚くても 拭えない僕等だっていいよ
わかんないぜここからが延長戦だ
つまんないことはそれ以上 つまんないままの無視でいいよ
わかんないぜここからが延長戦だ
見返してやろうぜ 昨日を 終わってしまった昨日の僕達を
無愛想で尻込みでも 譲んない僕等だっていいよ
わかんないぜここからが延長戦だ
世界中がどう吹かしても 自分さえ信じれればいいよ
わかんないぜここからが延長戦だ
救ってやろうぜ 昨日を
飛ばしていこうぜ もっと
The lyrics of "On The Run" by 4-4-1 convey a sense of searching for direction and purpose amidst life's chaos. The opening lines depict a journey that begins with an eager leap into the bustling crowd, suggesting a spontaneous decision to engage with life despite the overwhelming nature of it. The imagery of being lost right away reflects the familiar feeling of disorientation one faces when stepping into unknown territory. The phrase “人生は迷路” (life is a maze) emphasizes the notion that there isn't a clear path or right answer, but rather a complex web of choices. This sentiment encourages the listener to dive deeper into their experiences, urging them to embrace uncertainty and take risks.
As the song progresses, it champions the idea of imperfection and resilience. The lyrics acknowledge that, even when one feels awkward or unremarkable, their existence and actions still hold value. The repeated refrain "わかんないぜここからが延長戦だ," translates to a recognition that the present is just an extension of the past, which enhances the feeling of ongoing struggle. This sense of an "extension" suggests that life continues to present challenges and experiences beyond what one can predict, urging a mindset that humorously accepts the mundane or trivial. In reclaiming their narrative, the artists express a defiant desire to confront yesterday's mistakes rather than be held back by them, seeking closure and motivation to press forward.
The middle sections of the song delve into themes of failure and ambition, painting a poignant picture of courage despite past disappointments. The repetition of "今回が最後ってもう何回と" highlights a common human experience of facing repeated failures and the emotional turmoil that can accompany them. However, rather than succumbing to despair, the lyrics encourage listeners to recognize the worth in their aspirations, saying that perhaps it is better to release unattainable ideals. The idea that "数だけ誇れ” suggests pride in the quantity of dreams chased, regardless of the outcomes—something that resonates deeply with those who struggle with feelings of inadequacy tied to societal success. It promotes a liberating concept: the absence of the need to hold onto reputation or fear loss when one has already faced much.
Finally, the closing stanzas of the song encapsulate a sense of solidarity, reaffirming that it’s okay to be unconventional or to retreat in moments of discomfort. The repetition of the theme of believing in oneself amidst external pressures offers solace and empowerment. The concluding lines manifest a determination to push forward and to go faster, encapsulating the desire to break free from past constraints and pursue a future filled with promise. “救ってやろうぜ” translates to an exhortation to save or redeem yesterday, reminding us of the power we possess to change our narrative. Ultimately, "On The Run" carries a strong message of persistence and an embrace of life’s complexities, encouraging listeners to keep moving ahead, fueled by their own convictions.

[Chorus]
I'm gonna give em that 2, 4, 4 on the floor, like an outlaws boys on the day
Before. got the pretty girls out there begging for more
Gotta give em all what
They came here for. Doin' my thing singing my song
Right on track I'm chugging
Along. I'm here and gone like yesterday
Rolling like an old freight train
[Verse 1]
On a wing and a prayer and a glorified greyhound bus
Flying down the road running
9-0 and kicking up dust
Drinkin' truck stop coffee countin' birds on those telephone wires. Burnin' the midnight oil
And the tread off these old goodyear
Tires
[Chorus]
I'm gonna give em that 2, 4, 4 on the floor
Like an outlaws boys on the day
Before. got the pretty girls out there begging for more
Gotta give em all what they came here for
Doin' my thing singing my song, right on track I'm chugging
Along. I'm here and gone like yesterday, rolling like an old freight train
[Verse 2]
And sometimes my mind is a million miles away
I know you're sound asleep at
Home while I'm on this stage. and I'm missing you
Wishing I was kissing you
Everyday. but girl I gotta keep rollin'
Rollin like an old freight train. and its a
Mighty lonesome sound when there's not soul around
To help you ease your pain
But you gotta keep rollin'. Rollin' like an old freight train
Chorus 2
I'm gonna give em thats
2, 4, 4 on the floor, like an outlaws boys on the day before
Got the pretty
Girls out there begging for more
Gotta give em all what they came here for
Doin' my thing singing my song, right on track I'm chugging along
I'm here and gone like yesterday, rolling like an old freight train
Comin' on down the line
Feel that diesel engine whine, smell the smoke stack
Hear the gears grind full steam ahead halfway out of my mind
I'm too far gone to be turning back
Going clickity clack down the railroad tracks
I'm here and gone like yesterday
Rolling like an old freight train. just like an old freight train
Tell me do you wanna ride this train
