Storyteller
Daisuke Ishiwatari Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cool in the night, have a good time
That's what I'll keep on saying till I lose my mind
Feel like a bird in the sea breeze
Shine like a moon in the night sky
Can you believe that till the end of your life
Go, with some bucks in to her room
Already know how to have fun no need of explanation
Ooh! What's so worth nothing
Ooh! What's worth a bad thing
Surely that doesn't matter
Oh storyteller
Ooh! What's so worth nothing
Ooh! What's worth a bad thing
Oh no it doesn't matter the song we will never lose
That I ' d never be taller
That she'll love some one other
Just 'cause you think you know me don't try to change my mind
Happiness of seeing a newborn
All futures that could be dreamed of
Everything will be judged by our mortal life
Go! With some rainbows in our hands
Grey papers are not in need for
Don't mind if we make mistakes
Make jokes of them, have a laugh
Ooh! What's so worth nothing
Ooh! What's worth a bad thing
Please spread these words for ever
Oh storyteller
Ooh! What's so worth nothing
Ooh! What's worth a bad thing
How can it not matter?
The songs we lost one by one
Look around run around
There is nothing left to smile for look around run around
There is nothing left to cry for
Ooh! What's so worth nothing
Ooh! What's worth a bad thing
Don't ever let it fadeout oh storyteller
Ooh! What's so worth nothing
Ooh! What's worth a bad thing there is no need for sorrow
Great songs will never die
The song "Storyteller" by Daisuke Ishiwatari is a reflection on the fleeting nature of life and the importance of cherishing happy moments. The opening lines, "Warm in the day, have a good time / Cool in the night, have a good time / That's what I'll keep on saying till I lose my mind," set the tone for the song's overall message. Ishiwatari is encouraging his listeners to enjoy life and not take those happy moments for granted. He uses metaphors such as "Feel like a bird in the sea breeze / Shine like a moon in the night sky" to describe the feeling of happiness, which he suggests is worth more than any material thing.
The song also touches on the idea of mortality and how all the experiences we have in life will be judged by our mortal existence. Ishiwatari sings, "Everything will be judged by our mortal life," suggesting that the legacy we leave behind is important, but ultimately, the memories we create while we're alive are what matter most. He implores listeners to embrace those happy moments and not worry about making mistakes or being judged for them, declaring "Don't mind if we make mistakes / Make jokes of them, have a laugh."
In the end, Ishiwatari pays tribute to the power of storytelling to keep memories alive long after we're gone. He sings, "Oh storyteller / Please spread these words for ever," acknowledging that while we may pass on, our stories and the memories we create can live on through others. The song is a powerful reminder to cherish life and the happy moments that make it worthwhile.
