JUN SKY WALKER(S) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

どんなに信じ合っていたって
愛なんて一瞬で砕け散ってゆく
そんな不確かな細い糸の上を
いまだって僕らは歩いてる
おまえと歩いたあの時代
恐れるものは何もなかったのに
今じゃ愛するモノが増えすぎて
僕を臆病者に変えた

シャララ... シャララ...
僕らは同じ夢を見ていた
シャララ... シャララ...
傷つけ合って涙流して
青春 wow 青春 wow
無様に散ってゆく日々が
美しすぎる
あの時おまえに出会わなきゃ
今の僕はここにはいないんだ
運命の気まぐれに弄ばれ
人は出会いそして別れる
僕らの短い生命(いのち)は
儚いからこそ輝いてる
今だから分かるんだ
無意味なモノは
僕らには何一つなかった
「青春なんて吐き気がするぜ」
あの頃ずっとそう思ってた
なのに僕もおまえも
あふれる涙が止まらない
シャララ... シャララ...
残酷なほどまっすぐだった
シャララ... シャララ...
ぶつかりあって慰めあって
シャララ... シャララ...
僕らは同じ夢を見ていた
シャララ... シャララ...
傷つけ合って涙流して
青春 wow 青春 wow
無様に散ってゆく日々が
美しすぎる

僕らの青春は
まだ始まったばかりだ

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Seishun" (青春) by JUN SKY WALKER(S). The song expresses the bittersweet nature of youth, where love and dreams can quickly shatter, and uncertainty hangs over the thin thread that carries us forward. The singer reflects on a past time when they walked with someone, feeling fearless and without any fear. However, as time passed, they find themselves overwhelmed by the increasing number of things they love, turning them into a timid person.

The lyrics capture the nostalgia and longing for that past era, where the singer and their companion shared the same dreams and walked together. They remember the times where they hurt each other and shed tears, realizing that those days of youth, despite their appearance of being scattered and pathetic, were incredibly beautiful. The singer acknowledges that without meeting the companion they are singing about, their current self wouldn't exist. They recognize that life is fleeting, and it is precisely because of its transience that it shines. They also reflect on how they used to feel disgusted by the idea of youth, but now both the singer and their companion cannot stop their overflowing tears, implying that they have come to value and appreciate their youth.

Overall, "Seishun" is a song that explores the fragility of youth, the changing nature of relationships, and the realization of the beauty within the fleeting moments of life.
