GO!GO!7188 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
闇を裂いた欲の幕明け
恥を知らぬぬるい戯言
あぁ堪え難しソレ掟破り
満月の夜更け
ジャマだジャマだやつもこやつも
コレ如何にも我の通り道行く手には
茨が絡み合って青空はトゲだらけ
終わりまで走り抜く
自分以外に口を許した
これで何も失くすものはない
苦し紛れぬるい企み
問答無用一刀両断汚らわしい
ダマレダマレなんと戯けた事を
おぬしどこの曲者よ取り逃がすな
許した数だけ楽にはなったけれど
恐れるものが失く
なることを恐れている
ジャマだジャマだやつもこやつも
コレ如何にも我の通り道行く手には
茨が絡み合って青空はトゲだらけ
いつしか想いは真実になるのかな?
真実になるのかな?
The lyrics of GO!GO!7188's song Kunoichi describe the rebellious and fearless nature of a female ninja, who is determined to break free from the societal norms that restrict her. The opening lines suggest that the ninja disregards anyone who does not share her perspective, and is prepared to cut through the darkness and follow her own desires. She rejects shame and indulges in playful words that challenge convention. The line "あぁ堪え難しソレ掟破り" (Ah, it's unbearable, breaking the rules like this) suggests that although she is breaking the rules, she is also feeling a sense of liberation.
The next verse describes how the ninja will not tolerate anyone who tries to interfere with her path. The line "自分以外に口を許した" (I won't allow anyone else to speak for me) implies that she is determined to have her voice heard and her actions respected. She rejects the idea that she has anything to lose, and is willing to use any means necessary to achieve her goals, even at the cost of her own purity. The words "問答無用一刀両断汚らわしい" (No need for questions, I'll cut it down with one blow, how unsavory) suggest that the ninja is willing to get her hands dirty if it means achieving her objectives.
Overall, the song portrays a powerful image of a female ninja who defies expectations and restrictions to follow her own path, even if it means going against societal norms and being perceived as "unsavory."
