AGE-OF-EP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
TVに作られた理想主義者なんて 怯えているだけさ
生まれた理由(わけ)を探してんだろ?
「理性」と名乗る 言い訳なんて壊して
閉ざした心を解き放て 答えは
求めたのなら目の前にあるから
理屈な世界はvice!!
道を外さぬように 皆と変わらぬように
いつも「右向け右」ずっと生きてきたけど意味がねぇ
Fxxk out!! 今この声 聴いたなら飛び出せ
難しい事は何もないだろ?
偽るための諦めなんていらない
幼き僕らが描いてた願いを
叶える日までどこまでも叫んで
Out of sight 歪んだルールは投げ捨てて
普遍な日々などvice!!
閉ざした心を解き放て 答えは
求めたのなら目の前にあるから
Hung out 今こそ誓いをこの胸に
あるがままを響かせて...
The song "Vice" by AGE-OF-EP is a reflection on the struggles of conforming to societal norms and expectations. The opening lines refer to the starting signal, which implies a challenge or competition. This is followed by the assertion that those who have bought into the idealism portrayed on TV are merely living in fear. The singer is questioning the reason for their existence and encouraging the listener to destroy the excuses they make by claiming to act rationally. The lyrics go on to suggest that the answer to these questions lies within oneself and that it can be found by breaking free from a closed off heart. The chorus emphasizes the importance of breaking free from the confines of the logical world, or "vice," to pursue one's aspirations and identity.
The second verse conveys the message that blindly following societal rules and living in obedience while lacking a sense of purpose or meaning is futile. The singer encourages the listener to break free from the constraints of conformity and follow their heart's desires. The bridge continues the theme of embracing individuality and being true to oneself. The lyrics assert that the path to achieving lifelong wishes is to shout it out until they come true, and to throw away the twisted rules that have been holding one down.
Overall, "Vice" by AGE-OF-EP encourages the listener to rediscover their identity, break away from societal expectations, and pursue their passions. The song embodies the message that one ought to be true to oneself, embrace their individuality, and strive towards their ambitions.
