BEAT IT

Lyricist:磯部正文
Composer:磯部正文・工藤哲也・平本レオナ

All things tend to wrap up nicely
Plastering on faked smile to each other
All things come at ease in a safety zone
One another make comeplaints

You′ll come to know your limitations one day
It's anything but no fearful

Beat it, Beat it, in case you insincerity
Even if you did, there′s nothing to lose
It's a beginning of something new

Look around, Look around, I'm not forcing you?
But can you see the season of time?





All things find a way to the same place
No one escapes from there

Overall Meaning

In Husking Bee's song "Beat It," the lyrics describe a situation where people tend to fake a smile and wrap up things nicely with each other, while at the same time, complaining about each other behind their backs. They do this in a safety zone where they feel comfortable, but the lyrics suggest that one day they will come to know their limitations. However, the song says that this realization is not something to be feared. The phrase "beat it" is repeated throughout the song, and it implies that the person should leave behind the insincerity and focus on the beginning of something new. The lyrics encourage the listener to look around and take notice of the season of time, which suggests that they should be aware of their surroundings and the moment they are in. Lastly, the song mentions that all things eventually find a way to the same place, and no one escapes from there, which can be interpreted as the inevitability of change and the need to embrace it.


One interesting fact about the song "Beat It" by Husking Bee is that it was released in 2002 and was a part of their album "4." The album contains a collection of songs that were written in English, which was a unique feature for a Japanese band at the time. Another interesting fact is that the band formed in 1994 and released their first album in 1996 called "The Sun and the Moon." The band went through various lineup changes throughout their career, and their music evolved from punk rock to a more alternative sound in later years.
