Pierrot
GENERATIONS from EXILE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am the clown who can't cry
I am the clown who can't smile
答えのない片恋のことを
みんな何と呼んでいるのだろう?
恋じゃない 愛でもないと
言われるなら どうすりゃいいんだろう?

愚かな ピエロは泣けない
No, no, I'll never cry and smile
おどけた ピエロは泣けない
綱渡りで to you
ドラムロールが鳴る circus tent
シンバルを beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
今宵も hit it
道化師の loveless show が start
どんなスキになっても
You, baby baby 振り向きゃしない
堕ちても転んでも
Ha ha ha ha ha 嗤っている
Don't you like me? don't you like me?
アナタは don't you like it? don't you like it?
ボクの dream girl
大げさに伝えても
You, baby baby 伝わらない

感情のボールの上を
しなやかに乗りこなそうとする
アナタの顔を見ると
バランスが崩れて上手くいかない

いつでも ピエロは泣いてる
No, no, I'll never cry and smile
空回り ピエロは泣いてる
玉乗りで to you
今宵も over
道化師の loveless show, the end
夜を幾つ越えても
You, baby baby ヒカリ射さない
この手を伸ばしても
Ha ha ha ha ha 嗤っている
Don't you like me? don't you like me?
アナタは don't you like it? don't you like it?
ボクの dream girl
闇雲に求めても
You, baby baby 払い除けられる

I don't know how I can go on
I don't know how I can go on
嗤ったふりをしながら泣いて
Tear drop 頬につけて
I don't know how I can go on
I don't know how I can go on
とんでもない tragedy
Baby, don't you like me?

Baby, don't you like me?
どんなスキになっても
You, baby baby 振り向きゃしない
堕ちても転んでも
Ha ha ha ha ha 嗤っている
Don't you like me? don't you like me?
アナタは don't you like it? don't you like it?
ボクの dream girl
大げさに伝えても
You, baby baby 伝わらない
No, oh baby 伝わらない (don't make a fool of me)
アナタへと叫んでも
You, baby baby 伝わらない




Yes, I am your clown
伝わらない

Overall Meaning

The song "PIERROT" by GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE is about a clown who is unable to express his true emotions, even though he is deeply in love. The singer is constantly called a clown by others due to his comedic and playful persona, but behind the makeup, he is unable to cry or smile genuinely. The song explores the frustration of unrequited love and the inability to connect with the one he desires. The lyrics highlight the pain of being rejected and labeled as foolish for expressing his feelings, as he questions whether he should even bother to pursue his love if it is not reciprocated.


The song's theme of a loveless clown represents the inner emotions of someone who feels like an outcast in society. The character of a clown is often perceived as someone who is happy and humorous, but in reality, they may be dealing with deep emotional pain. This song sheds light on the fact that people in positions of entertainment or comedy may also be struggling with inner turmoil.


Interestingly, "PIERROT" is the French word for clown, and the song has a haunting melody and a circus-like atmosphere that adds to the eeriness of the lyrics. The song also features rap verses from both Ryota Katayose and Alan Shirahama, adding to the unique sound of the song. The music video features the members of GENERATIONS dressed up as clowns, performing in an abandoned circus tent, further emphasizing the circus theme of the song.

私がGENEを好きになったきっかけの歌
たまたまMステを見てて、GENEのパフォーマンスをみてた
ただ単純にダンスと歌がかっこよくて、いつもならご飯を食べながらぼっーと見てるのにその時はすぐ調べて初めて
GENERATIONSの存在をしった
調べれば調べるほど、GENERATIONSの歌とダンスにハマってていまではGENERATIONSの熱狂的なファン!
その時三代目とかいろんなグループが流行ってたけど、全然好きにもならなかった私が
初めて好きになってハマったのがGENERATIONSです。
GENEを好きなって約4年ほど自分がこんなにもひとつのアーティストを好きになるとは思わなかった!
GENERATIONSの歌を聞けば元気がでるし、毎日頑張ろって思える
GENEのお陰で友達もたくさんできたし、ライブもたくさん行けていい思い出も作れた!
学生がもうすぐ終わっちゃって思うようにライブにこれから行けなくなると思うと悲しいけど、ずっとずっと応援してます!

PIERROTきくと初めて好きになったときの感情思い出す

PIERROTって全てエモいよね。GENEの魅力を感じる✨✨✨

GENEのMVの中でPIERROTはまじで1、2を争うくらいに好きなMVなんです😻
それぞれの髪型、衣装全員ピッタリで大人っぽい歌詞にカッコよすぎる世界観、GENEにしか表現できないセクシーさもクールさも全部好きだし何回みても飽きないMVランキングではまじで1位
何よりもヴォーカル含め7人全員ガチガチ踊る振りが本当に好き。海外の方のコレオがこんなにもGENEに合うんだって最初見た時本当に感激したのを覚えてます。さすがGENEって思ったし、これからもたくさんの曲を出すだろうしMVで色んな表情も見せてくれると思うけど、PIERROTは自分にとってまじで神曲‼
またライブでUJのアレンジでやってくれたりしないかな🥺️
