KURAGE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
まとわりつく it feels like a curse
冷めた傷跡 見下ろした模様
きっと変われないごめんね
だって理想がない からっぽなんで lay over
いつか終わるじゃない リセット押してgame over
時間を止めて このまま
Mask on hide my feelings
I'm not even trying to change myself
在り来たりな妄想を繰り返してどうぞ
いつだって 僕の所為
I won't let you change me no
大それた夢を見たい
Cut myself open and show you what's inside of me and my own vanity
late nights 唇噛んで
潰れたpast I will throw it all away
曝け出す音 磨りガラスのよう
いつも満たせないごめんね
ah 利己主義なcode
唱えようよ もっと
さぁどうぞご自愛
秘するのがご名答
交わる表情 この痛みも
きみのせいにしたいよ
あぁもどかしいな
代わり映えのない顔を書いてる
忘れかけてた あの日を表示する over and over
Mask on , hide my feelings
I'm not even trying to change myself
在り来りな妄想を繰り返してどうぞ
いつだって 僕の所為
I won't let you change me no
大それた夢をみたい
cut myself open and show you what's inside of me and my own vanity
Don't you see that I'm as high as ever
You think you know me but you dont know my weakness
Mask on , hide my feelings
I'm not even trying to change myself
在り来りな妄想を繰り返してどうぞ
いつだって 僕の所為
I won't let you change me no
大それた夢を見たい
Cut myself open and show you what's inside of me and my own vanity
The lyrics of KURAGE's song "vanity" explore themes of self-deception, putting on a mask to hide one's true feelings, and the struggle to break free from destructive patterns. The first verse sets a somber and introspective tone, describing how the singer feels trapped in a cycle of emptiness and unable to change. The lines "だって理想がない からっぽなんで lay over / いつか終わるじゃない リセット押してgame over" suggest that the singer lacks direction and motivation, and is resigned to a fate of repetition and stagnation.
The chorus expands on the theme of masking one's true feelings, with the line "Mask on, hide my feelings" serving as a refrain. The singer rejects the idea of allowing others to change them, and asserts their desire to pursue "大それた夢" (grandiose dreams) in defiance of their perceived limitations. The use of the phrase "cut myself open and show you what's inside of me" suggests a desire for vulnerability and authenticity, even if it comes at the cost of exposing their own vanity.
The second verse continues to explore the singer's struggles and frustrations, with the lines "交わる表情 この痛みも / きみのせいにしたいよ / あぁもどかしいな" conveying a sense of resentment and bitterness towards others. However, the final lines of the song, "Don't you see that I'm as high as ever / You think you know me but you dont know my weakness" suggest that despite their efforts to put on a facade of strength, the singer is still vulnerable and struggling.
Overall, "vanity" presents a complex and introspective exploration of themes of identity, self-deception, and the struggle for authenticity.
