The lyrics to Asian Kung-Fu Generation's song "Understand" describe the struggles and emotions of a person who feels misunderstood and judged by others. The opening lines, "軋んだその心 hoo hoo それアンダースタンド 歪んだ日の君を hoo hoo 捨てないでよ yeah" (Crushed heart, hoo hoo, understand that distorted you, hoo hoo, don't abandon me, yeah), convey the plea for understanding and acceptance from the main character. They feel like their true self, their heart, has been crushed and distorted by the events of their past, and they are yearning for someone to truly understand them and not reject them.
The subsequent verses describe the singer's experiences and emotions: feeling powerless and seeing their hopes and feelings fading away, being surrounded by a city that never sleeps, and their heart and emotions being a fragile and irreplaceable part of who they are. The chorus, "願うよ きっといつか 軋んだその心 hoo hoo それアンダースタンド 歪んだ日の君を hoo hoo 捨てないでよ yeah" (I wish, surely someday, that crushed heart, hoo hoo, understand that distorted you, hoo hoo, don't abandon me, yeah), repeats the plea for understanding and not being abandoned.
The bridge of the song acknowledges the struggles, pain, and tears that the singer and their loved ones have experienced. It emphasizes the need for understanding even when things are difficult, and that even if the thorns in their heart cannot be removed, they still need to be embraced and supported. The closing lines, "それアンダースタンド それアンダースタンド yeah" (Understand, understand, yeah) reinforce the overarching theme of the song - the yearning for understanding and acceptance from others.

Lyrics
[Chorus]
Girl, I hope you understand
I wanted to hold your hand
But I can't, wanted to be your man back then
And you knew I fell for you but you
Just broke my heart in two
I was sad, mad, and broken on my bed
Hoping I get rid of all the voices in my head
[Verse 1]
I was opening a packet of an undeveloped med
When I was met with a prescription of a bullet made of lead
And when I woke up in an hour in a pool of my own sweat
I said, "I swear to God I'll never even try to sleep again"
So instead I took my pen and started writing evidence
And whеn I started making sense
I found that I had rеached the end
Oh, I'm upset, I have no friends
You wanna bet you're just pretend?
You're just a pet confined within the lines of writing
You're not shit
I thought I stopped my psychopathic ways, I swear I did
I said I talked to people 'bout the problematic life I lived
They were my neighbors, razor blades
And different flavored pills I hate
Therefore I'm not sure, leave my last straw
I'm so glad, stuck in the past, I said that
[Chorus]
Girl, I hope you understand
I wanted to hold your hand
But I can't, wanted to be your man back then
And so far I never held you with my arms
So it's hard to be the one you aren't
With instead filled with anxiety
Always was a part of me, guess I'm not cut out to be
[Verse 2]
Somebody 'cause it's not me
I'm not used to all the talk, it was an introvert
That had converted feelings into writing
Used to cope with all my problems
Using notes and lots of rhyming
Used to hope for better days whenever nights would have me crying
I'm not lying when I say that I would rather daily go back
To the times I would try be the guy the people know
I was fighting with the demons hiding far beyond my eyelids
On an island full of violence in my head that I could pilot
Oh, the sun don't shine, the skies turn gray
I felt it coursing through my veins
I said before I'm not okay
But you don't listen anyway
You know I tried, you turned away
You straight up lied right to my face
You fucked my life, ruined my day
But you don't know, so I'll say
[Refrain]
Nothing can fill this silence, no one can love like I did
(You don't know, so I'll say)
Nobody cares, you lied, it's no fair, you still deny it
(So I'll say)
Nothing can fill this silence, no one can love like I did
(You don't know, so I'll say)
Nobody cares, you lied, it's no fair, you still deny it
(So I'll say)
[Chorus]
Girl, I hope you understand
I wanted to hold your hand
But I can't, wanted to be your man back then
And too bad I know I can't wake up
Because I lost my weight and you don't give a fuck
About me, this could be a dream, I can't see
The things that you see, so please, oh
Girl, I hope you understand
I wanted to hold your hand
But I can't, wanted to be your man back then
And you know I'll play along
You were my home, I wrote you songs
And now you're dead to me effectively
Removed yourself outside my dreams

Girl I hope you understand
I wanted to hold your hand

Wanted to be your man

And you knew I fell for you
But you just broke my heart in two

Mad and broken on my bed
Hoping I get rid of all the voices in my head

I thought I stopped my psychopathic ways, I swear I did
I said I'd talk to people bout the problematic life I lived
They were my neighbors; razor blades and different flavored pills I hit
Therefore I'm at
Surely my last
Straw, I'm so gassed
Stuck in the past
I said that
Girl I hope you understand
I wanted to hold your hand
But I can't
Wanted to be your man
Back then
And so far
I never held you with my arms
So it's hard to be the one you aren't
With instead
Filled with anxiety
Always was a part of me
Guess I'm not cut out to be
Somebody cause it's not me. I'm not used to all the talking
Was an introvert that had converted feelings into writing
Used to cope with all my problems using notes and lots of rhyming
Used to hope for better days whenever nights would have me crying
I'm not lying when I say that I would rather die than go back
To the times I would try and be the guy that people know as always
Fighting with the demons hiding far behind my eyelids
On an island full of violence, in my head I had two pilots
Oh the sun don't shine, and skies turn grey
I feel it coursing through my veins
I've said before I'm not ok
But you don't listen anyway
You know I tried, you turned away
You straight lied right to my face
You fucked my life, ruined my day
But you don't know so I'll say
Nothing can fill this silence
No one can love I did
Nobody cares you lied it's
Not fair. You still deny it
(You don't know so I'll say)
Girl I hope you understand
I wanted to hold your hand
But I can't
Wanted to be your man
Back then
And too bad I know I can't wake up
Because I've lost my way and you don't give a fuck about me
This could be a dream
I can't see the things that you see so please oh
Girl I hope you understand
I wanted to hold your hand
But I can't
Wanted to be your man
Back then
And you had known
And played along
You were my home, I wrote you songs
Now you're dead to me
Effectively removed yourself
Outside my dream
=)))
