GO!GO!7188 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
フェラガモ、ルイヴィトン、エルメス、ディオール
欲しい
地位とか名誉とか約束された老後
買ってよ 買ってよ 買ってよ 買ってよ
お金で買えるもの
思い出、友達、ステキな恋人
欲しい
とにかく とりあえず 休みをください
買えない 買えない 買えない 買えない
お金で 買えないもの
欲望 それは欲望
とてもジャマだけど
欲望 それは欲望
ないと生きてゆけないね
買ってよ 買ってよ 買ってよ 買ってよ
買えない 買えない 買えない 買えない
ほんとに欲しいのは
お金じゃ買えないのさ
しあわせって何だろ?
In the song スカ by GO!GO!7188, the lyrics express a strong desire for material possessions, status, fame, and a comfortable retirement, all of which the singer wants to be able to buy with money. However, the desire for intangible things like cherished memories, good friendships, and a wonderful romantic partner cannot be fulfilled through money. The chorus repeats the phrase "欲望 それは欲望 (Desire, that is desire)", acknowledging the importance of desire in life, but recognizing that there are some things that money cannot buy.
The lyrics capture the tension between materialism and deeper, more meaningful experiences in life. The singer acknowledges that desires and material possessions are a part of life, yet also questions what true happiness really is. The line "ほんとに欲しいのは お金じゃ買えないのさ (What I really want cannot be bought with money)" suggests that the singer is searching for something more meaningful than just possessions and career success. Overall, the song encourages listeners to reflect on their own desires and the things that truly make them happy, while recognizing that balancing materialism and meaningful experiences can be a challenge.
