For One's Life
BRAHMAN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
BRUSHING OFF PAIN LIKE DUST,
WIPING OFF SADNESS LIKE TEARS,
ON THE SHADOW OF HATRED, STROLL WITHOUT STEPPING.
REFUSE TO BE ENCHAINED,
REGRETS LEFT BEHIND,
TIME GENTLY CON,
WITH UNASHAMED EVIL, I STAND BY.
BRUSHING OFF PAIN LIKE DUST,
WIPING OFF SADNESS LIKE TEARS,
ON THE SHADOW OF HATRED, STROLL WITHOUT STEPPING.
MY SMAIL PALM, LADLES WATER.
ENDING UNRIPE, FEUD LIFE.
IF FOR ONE′S LIFE, I ACCEPT ALL SINS.
(対訳)
FOR ONE'S LIFE
私が懸命ならばすべての誤解を受け止めます
ほこりを払うように苦しみを払い
涙を拭うように悲しみを拭います
(憎しみの影を踏まず歩いて行けたら...)
拒絶した束縛も
置いてきた後悔も
避けていた運命でさえ
時に優しく語りかけるように
目を開かんばかりの悪意と共にここにいます
ほこりを払うように苦しみを払い
涙を拭うように悲しみを拭います
(憎しみの影を踏まず歩いて行けたら...)
この小さな掌で一杯の水を汲みながら
未熟と葛藤の一生を終えるのでしょう
私が懸命ならばすべての罪を受け止めます
The lyrics of BRAHMAN's song "For One's Life" speaks about a person's determination to accept all the misconceptions and delusions that come along with life, as long as they can achieve what they desire. The first line, "If eager, I accept all delusions," suggests that the writer is willing to embrace any illusions or false beliefs that might help them reach their goal. They are not afraid of making mistakes or facing challenges that are often considered illusions by others.
The following lines, "Brushing off pain like dust, wiping off sadness like tears, on the shadow of hatred, stroll without stepping," speak about the courage and resilience needed to move forward despite the obstacles. The writer is determined to be free from any form of bondage and regrets and to avoid destiny altogether. They embrace evil without any guilt or remorse, and are resolute in their beliefs and convictions.
The chorus, "My smile palm, ladles water. Ending unripe, feud life. If for one's life, I accept all sins," speaks about the acceptance of sins and mistakes to fulfill one's life's purpose. The final lines, "I accept all sins," suggest that the writer is willing to accept anything as long as it serves their life's purpose.
