Overall Meaning

The song “Sign” by the Japanese band FLOW has a deep and heartfelt meaning, touching on themes of pain, determination and strength in the face of adversity. The first verse of the song reflects the idea of accepting pain and moving forward despite the difficulties. The lyrics in Japanese, "Wasurete shimaeba ii yo kanjinakunacchaeba ii / Surimuita kokoro ni futa o shitanda / Kizutsuitatte heikidayo mou itami wa nai kara ne / Sono ashi o hikizuri nagara mo…" translates to "It's okay to forget, you don't have to feel it. I shut the lid on a heart that’s already rubbed off. It's okay, I'm not in pain anymore. Even if I have to drag my feet along..."


The chorus repeats the phrase, “Ano itami ga kimi no koto o mamotte kureta / Sono itami ga itsumo kimi o mamotterunda” which can be translated to, “That pain always protects you, that pain is always protecting you.” The idea of pain as a protective force is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing that experiences of hardship and suffering can make us stronger.


The last verse of the song focuses on the idea of self-realization and accepting oneself. The lines, "Mitsukekita / Ano nakigoe wa / Machigainaku sou / Jibun nodatta / Subete wa kono toki no tame ni / Kitto hajime kara wakkatetanda…" can be translated to, "I found it, that crying voice. It was myself all along, without any mistake. Everything happens for a reason, I knew it from the beginning."


Overall, the song Sign represents a powerful message of hope, strength and perseverance through the struggles of life.

So things look bad, and your back's against the wall
Your whole existence seems fuckin' hopeless
You're feelin' filthy as a dive bar bathroom stall

Well, let me just say you're correct

LYRICS
I realize the screaming pain
Hearing it loud in my brain
But I'm going to go straight ahead with the scar

It's fine if you forget, it's fine if you can't feel it
I've patched up the scrapes in my heart

It's okay if I'm hurt, because I no longer feel the pain
Even as I drag my feet along

I can no longer see
The self
That made a sound
and then collapsed

If you just notice the sound of the wind...

It told me to follow these scars
Before I'd be crushed by the weight of the world
Can you remember it? The sky of tears...
That pain has given you protection
Because this pain will always protect you

"Kindness that cannot hurt is more important than the strength of being unhurt,"
The voice that says that seems sad somehow

Just like
Unbuttoning a button
Our hearts and bodies
Were separated

Once again, catch your heart...

It told me to follow these scars
Before I'd be crushed by the weight of the world
Can you remember it? The sky of tears...
That pain has given you protection
Because this pain will always protect you

I found it
That teary voice
There's no mistake
It's my own

All of it was for this moment...

I'm sure that from the beginning, you knew
I was the only one who wouldn't leave you again

I made you realize; this is a sign for you

That pain has given you protection

I was told to follow these scars
And then there wouldn't be anything to be afraid of...
Don't forget it, your reason for smiling...

That pain has given you protection
That pain has given you protection
Because this pain will always protect you
