Resistance
Mika Nakashima - 中島美嘉 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

白い天使の羽根が
はらはら落ちて
降り積もってく
Cry! 不実な街と犠牲の日々に
打ちひしがれて
今 嘆きの kiss を

眠ればすぐ朝が来る
それは恐い自由の国
愚かな優しさだけが
儚い道を残してた

歌えなくなった女は
その理由を探しまわる
闇を行く人の群に
つぶやく声も
とぎれてた

雪は導いて私に伝える
今の姿を照らせるのは
君の鼓動だけ

指の隙間に見える
世界は狭く 早く未来へ
Cry! 軽蔑してた愚かな愛に
この手伸ばして
今 嘆きの kiss を

ちぎれてく脈の上に
のしかかる偽りの声
全て色が無いものに
美しさだけ残された

でも 雪のように
やがて汚れても
こわれた街へ降りるまでは
夢を見たかった

白い天使の羽根が
はらはら落ちて
降り積もってく
Cry! 不実な街と犠牲の日々に
打ちひしがれて
今 嘆きの kiss を

たどり着くまでに
失った光 呼び起こすのは
神の声と 君の鼓動だけ

指の隙間に見える
世界は狭く 早く未来へ
Cry! 軽蔑してた愚かな愛に




この手伸ばして
今 嘆きの kiss を

The lyrics go on to describe the chaotic nature of the world and the sacrifices that people make every day. The singer is someone who has lost their voice and is searching for the reason behind it. The lines "Utaenaku natta onna wa Sono riyuu wo sagashimawaru" describe how this person is trying to find purpose in their life and reason for losing their voice.


The chorus of RESISTANCE describes a world that is moving too fast towards the future, a world that is full of discrimination and hate. The lines "Yubi no sukima ni mieru Sekai wa semaku hayaku mirai e Cry! Keibetsu shiteta oroka na ai ni Kono te nobashite" describe the people who are left to suffer because of this world's intolerance. The singer of the song is reaching out to them, calling out for them to join her in her pain through her voice.


In the end, the lyrics say that the only thing that can lead someone out of the darkness is their heart's beat and a call from the divine. The lines "Tadoritsuku made ni Ushinatta hikari yobiokosu no wa Kami no koe to kimi no kodou dake" describe how no matter how lost and alone someone is, if they listen to the voices that care for them, they can find their way back to the light.
