Tell Me Why
J-Shin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

暗い街に 生まれ
祈る事といえば
いつか見た青空へ
飛び立つことだけ
サイコロの目に俺が出たのか
長距離電話のベルが鳴る
不安と期待を体に詰めて
この街へやってきた
汚れた駅のなかで
悲しみを覚え
嘘と真の体を持った 女も知った
Please Please Tell Me Why
いつからこうなったのか
もう帰る家も無いのか
今の俺たちには

針の山を越えて
拳の雨 くぐっても
いつか見た青空を
抱きしめてみたいけど
古い約束を 金に換えて
新しい見栄と歩き出す
そんな自分に驚きながら
ナイフの刃 研いでばかりいるよ
Please Please Tell Me Why
いつからこうなったのか
もう帰る家も無いのか
今の俺たちには
Please Please Tell Me Why
いつからこうなったのか




もう帰る家も無いのか
今の俺たちには

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of J-Shin's song "Tell Me Why" paints a picture of a bleak and hopeless existence, born and raised in the dark streets with nothing but the dream of soaring into the blue skies once seen. The singer, consumed with anxiety and anticipation, took a chance and moved to this city, finding himself in a grungy station where he learned the sad reality of lies and deception from women with bodies of both truth and falsehood. Throughout the song, he questions when and how things took a turn for the worse, wondering if there's even a home to return to. Though he yearns to reach for the sky he once saw, he is forced to make compromises and trade old promises for financial gain, all the while pondering the person he has become, constantly sharpening a knife's blade instead of soaring as free as his soul desires.


"Tell Me Why" resonates with those struggling to find their place in life or come to terms with a situation they cannot change. The song speaks to the disappointment of dreams left unfulfilled and the harsh realities of a world where the pursuit of money often comes at a heavy price. The line "Please Please Tell Me Why" is a desperate plea for answers to the hardships that the singer and many others face in their daily lives, searching for a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness.


Overall, J-Shin's "Tell Me Why" is a poignant and raw reflection of the struggle and endurance of the human spirit in the face of adversity, reminding us to keep questioning and fighting for our dreams and purpose in life.
