違う、そうじゃない
Masayuki Suzuki Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

違う違うそうじゃそうじゃない
君を逃がせない
愛は渡せない

溜息が首筋にしびれた夜の街角
疑って決めつけて
君は唇噛んでる

振り向いて今信じて
走り出した君の跡
追いかけてすぐその腕
掴んでも振りはらわれても

違う違うそうじゃそうじゃない
君を逃がせない
違う違うそうじゃない
このままじゃ辛い
跪きそうさ

程々に愛し合い
派手に着飾る現実
脱ぎ捨てて生きている
君だけは眩し過ぎて
追いついたその背中に
流れて降りる星屑たち
まっすぐにさあ見つめて
君だけが欲しいと思った

違う違う嘘じゃ嘘じゃない
誰も愛さない
違う違う嘘じゃない
唇ふさいで
何も言わせない

手の平返しなんて君が思ってる程
器用な僕じゃないさ
君を一人愛して

違う違う違う違う
そうじゃない
君を渡せない
違う違うそうじゃない
抱きしめていたい
跪きそうさ

違う違う嘘じゃ嘘じゃない
誰も愛さない
違う違う嘘じゃない

唇ふさいで
何も言わせない

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Masayuki Suzuki's song Chigau sou janai speak of the desperation and intensity of love, and the desire to hold on to a loved one. The first verse describes a sleepless city night, with the singer feeling a shiver down their neck at the mere thought of the one they love. There is a sense of anxiety and uncertainty, as the singer both doubts and convinces themselves that their lover's actions are sincere. The second verse contrasts this with the bright, dazzling feeling of being utterly captivated by their lover's beauty, unable to resist pursuing them even though they know it will be painful for them in the end. The third verse seems to be a plea to the object of the singer's affection, with a confession of their unshakeable love and the affirmation that, in spite of their flaws, they are sincere.

Overall, the message of the song is one of passion, longing, and the struggle to hold on to an impossible love. Despite the singer's insecurities and fears, they are driven by a deep sense of devotion, unable to let go of the person they hold so dear.
