生活
Lucky Tapes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

足りない物を埋め合わす様に
肩寄せ抱き合って時に失って
そんな日々です
好き勝手やってまた嫌になって
飽き飽きして
愛されたいと願えば願うほど
姿形を変えてゆく
なんてどうしようもないな

望んだはずの未来はまた遠ざかって
大体のことはほら掴めないけど

ずるいのはいつも自分で
楽な方にばかり逃げていたな
本当に大事なものを
失わぬ様にもう騙さないで

生温い風に包み込まれて
歳をとって愛を知った
ただぼんやりと
重なり合って時に責め合って
日々を生きる
君はいつだって綺麗に笑うから
あの日みた夢の続き
確かめたくなった

描いてた未来に少し近づいて
大体のことはほら口にすれば

誰もがまともじゃない
自分で自分の価値を決め付けないで
すぐには叶わなくても

明日は今日より少しはマシでしょう
明日は今日よりいい日になるでしょう

Overall Meaning

The song 生活 (Seikatsu) by Lucky Tapes is a reflection on daily life and the struggles that come with it. The first verse talks about how people try to fill the voids in their lives, sometimes losing sight of what's important in the process. The second verse talks about how the future that we once wanted becomes farther away as time goes by, and how we can't always control the things around us. However, the song also has elements of hope and optimism, with the chorus suggesting that tomorrow will be a better day than today.

The lyrics suggest that life is not always easy, and that people often make things more difficult for themselves by taking the easy way out or losing sight of what's truly important. The line "愛されたいと願えば願うほど姿形を変えてゆく (As you wish to be loved, you change your form)" suggests that people change themselves to fit the expectations of others, losing their sense of identity in the process. The song also touches on the importance of self-worth and not judging oneself based on the perceptions of others.

Overall, the song is a thoughtful reflection on life and the struggles that come with it, but also has a message of hope that tomorrow will be a better day than today.
