No Reason
CTS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

耳障りなステレオタイプ行き止まりの崖からダイブ
差別にも似たカテゴライズ逃げるが勝ち指導者達

此処に幸あれと虚ろな言葉宙に舞う
きっと叶わないいっそ切り捨てて

でかいチカラひれ伏して陰でディスる意気地なし
ゼロ距離射撃喰らえば化けの皮も剥がれてく

賽は投げられた後戻りは出来ないよ
で実際どうなるの No way but what's going on

泣きながら産まれたなら笑いながら死んでく
なぜ僕らは此処にいて君らは消えてくの
そうじゃあ無関心という罪裁けない理由は
誰にでも親恋人友達愛すべき命があるんだよ

デタラメなことぬかしてゴメンはまかり通らない
恨み辛み塵積もり気付けば片手にはナイフ

産声は同じはずなのに人は変わる
善と悪の差は千差万別で

泣きながら産まれたなら笑いながら死んでく
なぜ僕らは此処にいて君らは消えてくの
そうじゃあ無関心という罪裁けない理由は
誰にでも親恋人友達愛すべき命があるんだよ

泣きながら産まれたなら
笑いながら死んでくの

なぜ僕らは此処にいて
君らは消えてくの

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to CTS's song "No Reason" convey a strong sense of frustration and confusion about the state of society. The first stanza seems to criticize the use of stereotypes and discrimination, with the line "categorizing, as if it were discrimination, the escape leader." There is a sense of hopelessness and emptiness in "empty words flying in the air," indicating that the singer does not believe that things will change.

In the next stanza, there is a sense of defiance and anger towards those in power, with the line "submission, to the one with the big power, is cowardly and dissing in the shadows." The following line, "if the zero distance shot hits, even the monster's skin falls off," suggests that there is a potential for change if individuals stand up for themselves and fight back against those in power.

The chorus repeats the phrase "if born crying, then die laughing," implying that life is difficult and equal parts both joy and pain. The final lines of the song emphasize the importance of valuing life, alluding to the concept that no one is expendable or unworthy of love.
