Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
それを隠そうとしては 強がるクセ発揮する
君はとなりに寄り添い ワケのわからぬ事を話してる
不器用にでも何とか 励まそうとしてる
きっと僕らこうして やってくんだろう
ちょっと空とか仰いだりして
走り疲れて歩いたりとかして
そんな感じで 準備はいいかい?
ひとつずつ少しずつ ほら 確かに足跡を残してる
その全てがひとつの 道となり今となる
決していい事ばかり なんかじゃないけれど
僕には君が必要みたいで
君にも僕が必要なら
そこに特に理由はいらないみたいね
悪くないかもね こんな毎日
ぐっと顔上げて少し笑って
ちょっと空とか仰いだりして
走り疲れて歩いたりとかして
そんな感じで 準備はいいかい?
僕には君が必要みたいで
君にも僕が必要なら
そこに特に理由はいらないみたいね
悪くないかもね こんな毎日
The song "Independent" by Ayumi Hamasaki is a reflection on the small, mundane moments in life that can be scary or overwhelming. The singer confesses to being afraid of these moments and putting up a front of strength and bravery. However, the presence of a loved one brings comfort and the willingness to face these challenges together, even if they may not always be good. The chorus encourages the listener to lift their head, smile, and prepare for what's to come.
The lyrics convey a message of the importance of support and companionship in navigating life's ups and downs. The singer acknowledges that life is not always easy, but having someone to lean on makes it more manageable. The use of imagery, such as the act of looking up at the sky, walking, and leaving footprints, symbolizes the journey of life and the steps taken to overcome challenges.
