Samurai
HAKUEI Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nervous 誰かが笑う孤立する才能
Wake up リアルに踊れ
疑惑の死刑囚
嵐のようにすばやく暗闇を狙う
真剣の切れ味を Ah...
夢の入口が腐り始める
Go!! 止まらない
自意識過剰狂自虐的本性

Go!! 突き破れ
勘違い極まる愛のラプソディー

スナイパー背後に迫る
致命の一撃
トライバルみなぎるエナジー
巨大な波動砲
太陽に身を潜めて暗闇を狙う
真実の暗闇を Ah...
流浪の結末だ決めろサムライ
Go!! 止まらない
無差別攻撃無法者の世代
Go!! 突き破れ
くだらねえ
小さい猿のラプソディー

真実のサムライだ Ah...
さよなら夢よ戦いが始まる
Joe!! 立ち上がれ
専制攻撃画竜点睛
Go!! たたき斬れつらぬけ斬鉄剣
Go!! サムライは
何の為に傷つき何の為に戦うのか

Yeah!! それは愛?
それとも? それは誰にもわからない

Overall Meaning

The song "Samurai" by HAKUEI speaks about a Japanese warrior trying to navigate through life's obstacles. The first verse talks about being nervous and feeling like an outcast with unique abilities. The warrior wakes up to the reality and must dance with confidence while being accused of wrongdoing. The warrior moves swiftly in the darkness with a sharp edge, determined to succeed. The entrance to a dream feels like it is beginning to rot, and the warrior must keep going, don't stop, and push past the mistaken extremes of the Rapsoody of Love.

The second verse brings in more obstacles as a sniper approaches from behind, and the warrior feels the impact of a deadly blow. The warrior uses their tribal energy to unleash a massive wave of power to hit the darkness stealthily. The anxiety that once existed must fall away, and the warrior must make a stand and decide their fate. The generation of lawless wonders who partake in indiscriminate violence must be shattered. In a final show of power, the warrior swings the powerful iron sword in a bid to reveal the truth of what it means to be a samurai.
