Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
jibun no yowasa wo
kinou ga tsukisasari kuchiburu kitsuku kamu
yamanai doshaburi
zutto sagashi tsuzuketa
daijinakoto wasureta mama
Live & Learn kaeteyukitai
jibun mo kono sekai mo
hito wa tsuyokunareru hazu
yuuyake tobu tori wa dokoka he kaetteyuku
miokuri tatazumu
senaka wo muketa mama nigete mo dame nanda
kobushi wo nigitta
doko de chikara wo tsukusu
omoi ga kitto yuuki ni naru
Live & Learn koeteyukitai
kinou mo ashita sae mo
Live & Learn migaki ayumunara
itsuka tadori-tsukerudarou
todoke todoke omoi yo
sora no hate made
hibike hibike kodou yo
tatakae to
Live & Learn kaeteyukitai
jibun no kono sekai mo
Live & Learn kono me de mitai
atarashii toki no yoake
Live & Learn ikite manabunara
kitto tomo ni yukerudarou
The lyrics of "Live & Learn" by Filur Feat. Matt Kolstrup reflect on the idea that living life is about constantly learning and growing from our experiences. The opening line, "omoide wa itsudatte kokoro wo semetateru," translates to "memories always stir your heart." The idea is that even our past experiences, both positive and negative, shape and strengthen us, even though they may be difficult to revisit.
The lyrics then shift to reflect on the struggle of the present moment, with lines like "jibun no yowasa wo" (our weaknesses) and "yamanai doshaburi" (relentless downpour). But despite these struggles, the singer expresses a desire to "Live & Learn kaeteyukitai," or "Live & Learn and change." They reflect on the importance of perseverance and overcoming obstacles, with lines like "doko de chikara wo tsukusu / omoi ga kitto yuuki ni naru" (where we exert our strength / our thoughts surely become courage).
The final lines express optimism and hope for the future, reflecting on the idea that with each experience and new lesson, we can move forward and better ourselves: "Live & Learn ijiteitai / kono me de mitai / atarashii toki no yoake" (Live & Learn and change / I want to see it with my own eyes / the dawn of a new era).
Overall, "Live & Learn" is a reflective and hopeful song about the transformative power of life experiences and the importance of learning from them.
