Jenga
40mP Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

不確かな感情 罪重ねた愛情
逃げた者勝ちの 駆け引きのゲーム
失うことで手に入れたものに、何の意味があるのかな?

気づかないフリ 傷つかないフリ
嘘をつくことで真実を守った
行き場を無くした自分のココロは、どこに重ねればいいの?
手探りで捜し求めた 僕らが選ぶべき未来
抜き取ったその隙間から 君の涙が見えた気がした

二人の目の前で脆く 崩れ去ってしまったんだ
虚しくて 悔しくて まだ認めたくないけど
時間を巻き戻せるなら 出会う前の二人へ
疑いもしなかった あの頃の僕らが 無言で散らばっている

君のココロが傷つかないように
自分のことを傷つけないように
サヨナラ告げたあの時の僕は、上手く笑えてたのかな?

きっと僕らいつでもこんな風に 誤魔化しながら過ごした
積み重なった幾つもの矛盾に 押し潰されそうになっていたのに

重ね合った限りある時間を まるで永遠みたいに形造って
未来を、夢見ていた

二人の目の前で脆く 崩れ去ってしまったんだ
虚しくて 悔しくて まだ認めたくないけど
時間は残酷に何度でも 繰り返していくんだろう




楽しかった記憶さえ 消えてしまう前に
君と僕のピースを もう一度 拾い集めるよ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 40mP's song "Jenga" explore the complexities of love, loss, and the games people play in relationships. The uncertain emotions and piled-up guilt of love are likened to a game of Jenga where the one who runs away or escapes is the winner. The singer questions the meaning of what they have gained by losing things in the process. They feel lost, confused, and don't know how to reconcile with their heart.


The singer tries to pretend as if they are not hurt and lie to protect the truth, leaving their heart with no direction. But in the end, the cracks start to show, and everything falls apart, leaving the singer feeling empty, hollow and full of grief. If only they could turn back time, they wonder if they could convince their past selves to have faith in love and not doubt it.


"Jenga" is a song that explores the human condition in love, where people often play games, hide behind lies, and refuse to confront their feelings for fear of getting hurt. It's a reminder that the cost of avoiding pain is often too high and that the truth always finds a way to reveal itself.


Line by Line Meaning

不確かな感情 罪重ねた愛情
The song begins with the line, 'Uncertain feelings, love piled with sin.' The artist is most likely referring to a tumultuous romantic relationship. There is a sense of guilt associated with the love, which is not entirely pure.


逃げた者勝ちの 駆け引きのゲーム
The artist then mentions a competition, where the winner is the one who escapes first. This is most likely a game of cards, Jenga, where each player keeps piling blocks while trying to avoid making the tower collapse. This could be a metaphor for their love life, where the person who leaves first is seen as the winner.


失うことで手に入れたものに、何の意味があるのかな?
In this next line, the artist questions the value of something that is obtained only after losing something else. This could mean that although the relationship did not work out, they still gained something from it. The artist is perhaps questioning whether the cost of losing something outweighs the gains from it.


気づかないフリ 傷つかないフリ
The next lines refer to pretending that one has not noticed anything, nor been hurt by anything. The artist is commenting on the ways we sometimes mask our true emotions to avoid dealing with the pain that comes with dealing with them openly.


嘘をつくことで真実を守った
The artist then conveys the idea that sometimes lying is necessary to protect oneself from getting hurt. This could mean that by pretending that everything is okay, we are actually safeguarding ourselves from further pain.


行き場を無くした自分のココロは、どこに重ねればいいの?
In this line, the artist talks about a lost heart and not knowing what to do with it. The artist is perhaps questioning the best way to move on from heartbreak or how to rekindle love in their life.


手探りで捜し求めた 僕らが選ぶべき未来
The following lines refer to two people who are searching for a future together. They are uncertain but committed to finding their way in life together. This again suggests the theme of a relationship that is uncertain and loaded with emotions.


抜き取ったその隙間から 君の涙が見えた気がした
The artist notices something in the gap they've created in their relationship. They were perhaps not aware of the depth of the other person's emotions until that moment. This line could indicate a sense of regret for neglecting or not noticing their partner's feelings.


二人の目の前で脆く 崩れ去ってしまったんだ
In a dramatic twist of events, everything seems to fall apart in front of their very eyes. This could mean that their relationship crumbles with a cliff-hanger ending.


虚しくて 悔しくて まだ認めたくないけど
The following lines convey the emotions associated with a breakup or a sudden end to things. The artist expresses feelings of emptiness and regret, yet is not yet ready to move on from the relationship.


時間を巻き戻せるなら 出会う前の二人へ
The artist then proposes that if time could be rewound, they would go back to the time before they met. This might signify a desire to go back to the start of the relationship and change things or start from scratch, knowing what they know now.


疑いもしなかった あの頃の僕らが 無言で散らばっている
The artist then laments the fact that the two of them who once trusted each other unquestioningly are now separated, and there is no communication between them. This could be seen as a sign that their relationship is unrecoverable.


君のココロが傷つかないように
In this next line, the artist expresses a desire to protect their partner's heart from any further damage. The artist is being considerate and empathetic towards their partner.


自分のことを傷つけないように
The artist then says that they do not want to hurt themselves either. Again this could be interpreted as a sign to look after oneself first before caring for others.


サヨナラ告げたあの時の僕は、上手く笑えてたのかな?
The artist then reflects on how they said goodbye to their partner, and whether they did it gracefully. This line could be an attempt to convince oneself that they were in control of the situation and that they can move on smoothly with their life.


きっと僕らいつでもこんな風に 誤魔化しながら過ごした
The following lines suggest that the couple projected an image of happiness, even when things were not alright. This could mean that they had a hard time facing reality and were living in denial. This could have added to their relationship problems.


積み重なった幾つもの矛盾に 押し潰されそうになっていたのに
The artist reflects on how the weight of all the contradictions and emotional baggage was almost too much to bear. This line emphasizes the fact that the relationship was under considerable strain before it eventually fell apart.


重ね合った限りある時間を まるで永遠みたいに形造って 未来を、夢見ていた
The artist then reflects on how they both thought that their time together was infinite, and they could dream together about the future. This line could signify the naivete of their vision of the relationship and how it did not match their reality.


時間は残酷に何度でも 繰り返していくんだろう
In the next line, the artist acknowledges the cruel nature of time and how it relentlessly repeats itself. This line could be interpreted as a sign that the artist is struggling to move on from the relationship and is haunted by memories of the past.


楽しかった記憶さえ 消えてしまう前に
The artist then expresses a desire to hold on to memories of their relationship before they fade away. This line emphasizes the importance of cherishing what we have before it is too late.


君と僕のピースを もう一度 拾い集めるよ
Finally, the artist expresses a desire to pick up the pieces of the relationship once again, meaning to try and mend it. This could be seen as a sign of hope for reconciliation.

40meterP why must you be so amazing ;A; This is gorgeous <3

@Koko_Jon

still one of the best miku song

@HopeEsleim1101

All the 'generic' sounding Vocaloid and Miku songs out there are great in their own way, but this song is just a step above them I think. It's something different to the table that really, really works... It's just amazing. I came here just to ask people to listen to JoyDreamer's cover of this song, but I am astounded by how good the original is! I can't believe the views on this video are so low...

@ryugaroxas

too bad 40mp current song suck ass now , I really cant believe there is a 40mp song like this . His other vocaloid songs are what i consider " generic " he tries to put in something creative , tries to make his songs "unique " but as a result they all sucks ass . This song is literally the one song i like from 40mp and i cant even believe he did made a song like this

@user-rb4cj7mb8f

@@ryugaroxas 40mp’s older music is wonderful as well as his new music. Shaker is amazing, In a Sleepless Night, and Hatsune (his collab with 164), etc, etc

@ryugaroxas

@@user-rb4cj7mb8f yeah he is like DECO 27. His older words are wonderful too but now recently , his newer works, I cant get myself to like any of them

@shalomfad5868
