Take My Hand
MK-1 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

自分を否定したとして それすら自分の声だ
異論さえ問えやしなくて 僕は僕が嫌いんなった
赦しを乞うにしたって 独りじゃ叶いっこないさ
不甲斐ない救いにさえも この手で蓋をしていた

塞ぎ込んだ命をどうか 誰か拾ってくれやしないか
錆び付いた口は開かない
ドンタッチマイハンド 見え透いた本性と絶交して
敗北を歌う 人生のはずだった
ドンタッチマイハンド そうやって手を取って優しくしないでよ
偽った自分が 散り散りになってしまうから

無用になってしまった 僕の未来ってやつは
向かい駅ホームでとうとう 窓と窓越しに消えた
終わっちゃいないって言うが 始まってすらいないさ
うざったいくらいの愛を ゴミ箱へ今日も投下

笑えない現実が増えて 笑われる事に慣れてきた
懲役何年の罰なんだ

ドンタッチマイハンド せいぜい欠落感を患って
敗北を喰らう 病人のはずだった
ドンタッチマイハンド そうやって手を取って優しくしないでよ
頬の上を伝った 酷い傷を見してしまうから

ドンタッチマイハンド 幸か不幸か思考は生きていて
何回だって 脈打つ声の先へ
ドンタッチマイハンド こうやって地を這って名前を呼ぶ方へ
全身を抉った

ドンタッチマイハンド 見え透いた本性と絶交して
敗北を歌う 人生のはずだった
ドンタッチマイハンド そうやって手を取って優しくしないでよ
感情を知って 弱い僕になってしまうから





ドンタッチマイハンド 酸欠の心臓を一瞬で
吹き返すくらいの 体温と擦れ違った

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from MK-1's song "Take My Hand" touch upon themes of self-rejection, forgiveness, and the fear of being hurt by others. The first set of lyrics express a sense of self-hatred and the inability to even question oneself. The singer feels insufficient and closes off any hope of redemption.


The following lines discuss a plea for someone to come and rescue the singer from their oppressive feelings and thoughts. They feel trapped and unable to express themselves verbally. Their mouth has become rusted, symbolizing their inability to communicate their emotions effectively.


The third set of lyrics reflect on a future that seems pointless and discarded. The singer's hopes and dreams disappear before their eyes, leaving them feeling lost and unsure of what lies ahead. They sarcastically remark that it hasn't even begun and mockingly throw their exaggerated love into the garbage.


The lyrics then delve into the singer's increasing disillusionment with life and how they have become accustomed to being laughed at and ridiculed. It seems as though they are serving a never-ending sentence, trapped in the prison of their own thoughts.


In the last set of lyrics, the singer questions the significance of their existence and the state of their emotions. They express a desire to be understood and valued but fear that it will only result in more pain. The final line suggests a missed connection or a passing opportunity that could have reignited their fading spirit but ultimately slipped away like a near-miss encounter.
