月曜日の朝、スカートを切られた
Keyakizaka46 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

どうして学校へ行かなきゃいけないんだ
真実を教えないならネットで知るからいい

友達を作りなさいスポーツをやりなさい
作り笑いの教師が見せかけの愛を謳う

反抗したいほど熱いものもなく
受け入れてしまうほど従順でもなく
あと何年だろうここから出るには
大人になるため嘘に慣れろ!

月曜日の朝スカートを切られた
通学電車の誰かにやられたんだろう
どこかの暗闇でストレス溜め込んで
憂さ晴らしか私は悲鳴なんか上げない

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

これから先もずっと電車は満員で
夢も希望もないのに各駅停車かい?

努力は報われますよ人間は平等ですよ
幸せじゃない大人に説得力あるものか

死んでしまいたいほど愚かにもなれず
生き永らえたいほど楽しみでもない
もう持て余してる残りの人生
目立たないように息を止めろ!

誰もが何かを切られながら生きている

よく晴れてた朝スカートを切られた
無視された社会の隅に存在する孤独
自分はここにいるそれだけ伝えたい
したり顔であんたは私の何を知る?

月曜日の朝スカートを切られた
通学電車の誰かにやられたんだろう
どこかの暗闇でストレス溜め込んで
憂さ晴らしか私は悲鳴なんか上げない

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

The song "Getsuyoubinoasa Skirtwo Kirareta" by Keyakizaka46 is a thought-provoking commentary on the struggles of youth and the pressure they face to conform to societal expectations. The lyrics question the necessity of attending school when one can learn the truth online, the importance of making friends and engaging in sports, and the role of teachers who are only pretending to care. The singer feels numb and powerless, accepting the reality but also yearning for a way out of this life. They are frustrated, having been bullied by someone who cut their skirt on a Monday morning, and are left feeling alone and forgotten in a society that ignores them. Despite it all, the singer refuses to give in and break down, suggesting that everyone is living with something that has been "cut" from them.

The lyrics paint a bleak picture of the societal pressures that young people face. They must attend school, befriend their peers, and engage in sports, all while teachers pretend to care about their well-being. In addition, the singer is bullied, making them feel powerless and alone in a society that ignores them. The lyrics also suggest that conforming to societal expectations is a necessity if one wishes to become an adult, and that happiness is reserved for only a privileged few. Overall, the song is a poignant reminder of the struggles that young people face on a daily basis and the importance of understanding their struggles.
