Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Daichi Yamamoto's "One Way" offer insight into a person's unique identity amidst societal pressures to conform. The opening line, "1993 kara bad boy" could be interpreted as a nod to the artist's birth year, but also serves to establish the singer as a rebel, a "bad boy" who doesn't follow the rules. The lines "Don't follow me I'm a hot boy" and "Wa no kokoro but I'm black boy" are other examples of the singer's individuality, as they reject the expectations placed on them based on their physical appearance and cultural background.


The chorus, with its repetition of "One way run," can be seen as a mantra for the singer's philosophy: to live life on their own terms, choosing a path that may defy convention but ultimately feels true to them. In the second verse, the singer references cultural figures like 21 Savage and And U Oru (a drummer and composer) as examples of those who have also charted their own path in life. The final lines of the song, repeated over and over, emphasize the singer's desire for support on this journey: "Better be on my side, on my side, on my side, run."


Overall, "One Way" can be seen as a call to embrace one's unique identity and not be afraid to chart a course that may not align with societal norms. It is a reminder that ultimately, each person must walk their own path in life, and that the support of others can make all the difference.

Lyric

1993 から Bad boy
Don't follow me I'm a Hot boy
一方通行 Wrong way
和の心 But I'm black boy
One way one way one way one way one
Run!

一方通行 I came ここまできたぜ I am
Better than I was 大変 21 Savage 世界は Arcade
I play この Game 大抵マンネリ God damn
上しか見てない Amen A面よりB面 言葉の Relay
Replay ない このライフいいね ステージの右可愛いね
Bitch please 触らないで これは俺の人生
Breath in 聴いて 見て Feel it 5lack みたいに Weekend
正解などないと思ったらいいぜ

1993 から Bad boy
Don't follow me I'm a Hot boy
一方通行 Wrong way
和の心 But I'm black boy
One way one way one way one way one
Run!

Ohhhh 量産する音楽 Like
Ohhhh 俺はまるでアンディ・ウォーホル
Fictional な奴ばかり
何が欲しい? アンディ・ウォーホル or Popping some molly
旅の始まり 間に合わないくらい のらりくらり One way
止まれないぜ Ohhhh
立ち止まり 顔の仮面 捨てて Coming
生える羽 隠し隠し生きた Pain 曝け出してかける
Zoom ×12
やばいベースライン 赤いヤマハ Right
左手残すタイヤマーク 殴り書きのポエム
過去の俺を超える 左手は添える
てかさ お前さ何がしたいの
口ばっかでダサい お口にチャックを
無いんだろ覚悟 足りない脳みそ なすことがクソ

1993 から Bad boy
Don't follow me I'm a Hot boy
一方通行 Wrong way
和の心 But I'm black boy
One way one way one way one way one
Run!

Better be on my side
