Wind
Akeboshi ウインド Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before you idealize
Motivate your anger
To make them all realize
Climbing the mountain
never coming down
Break into the contents
Never falling down
My knee is still shaking
Like I was 12
Sneaking out the classroom
By the back door
A man rallied at me twice though
But I didn't care
Waiting is waisting for people like me
Don't try
To live so wise
Don't cry
'Cause your so right
Don't dry
With fakes or fears
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end
Don't try
To live so wise
Don't cry
'Cause your so right
Don't dry
With fakes or fears
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end
You say
Dreams are dreams
I ain't
Gonna play the fool
Anymore
You say
'Cause I still got my soul
Take your time baby
Your blood need slowin' down
Breach your soul to reach yourself
Before you gloom
Reflection of fear
makes shadows of nothing
Shadows of nothing
Don't try
To look so wise
Don't cry
'Cause your so right
Don't dry
With fakes or fears
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end
Your still blind
If you see a winding road
Cause there's always
a straight way
to the point you see
Don't try
To look so wise
Don't cry
'Cause your so right
Don't dry
With fakes or fears
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end
The lyrics of "Wind" by Akeboshi are rich in symbolism and contemplative message. The song encourages listeners to cultivate their hunger and to motivate their anger, not to incite violence, but to make others realize the importance of their existence. Climbing up a mountain and breaking into its contents represent a desire to achieve one's goals and aspirations without fear of falling down.
The lyrics recount the struggles of a person who feels like an outsider and is constantly seeking validation. The lines "My knee is still shaking/Like I was 12/Sneaking out the classroom/By the back door" describe the fear and uncertainty that the person experiences when trying to confront their challenges. The person, however, is determined to never waste their time waiting for others and to make their own way in the world without resorting to fakes or fears.
The chorus repeats the same advice, encouraging listeners not to try to look so wise or cry because they are so right. The idea is to be true to oneself and not be afraid to embrace one's weaknesses or mistakes. The lines "Reflection of fear/makes shadows of nothing" highlight that fear is often an illusion, and that one should not let it prevent them from pursuing their dreams.
Overall, "Wind" is a song that speaks to the human experience, and encourages listeners to take ownership of their lives while still remaining true to themselves.
