The lyrics to Morikubo Showtaro's song "Let's Get Started" exude energy and evoke a feeling of liberation, inviting listeners to leave behind their inhibitions and embrace a brand new world. The lyrics encourage the listener to stand up against the hypocritical world that blocks their vision and to ride the beat to scatter any obstruction in their way. Morikubo encourages everyone to break free from their mundane lifestyles and desires, and to accept their repressed impulses that cause instability and temporary pleasure. Morikubo asserts that life is not stagnant and to keep moving forward, to take off towards the unknown - unbridled by archaic societal norms - and to embrace the unknown with open arms.
The lyrics' chorus urges the listener to let their hair down and adapt the mentality of "don't stop me now"; we are now taking off towards an unknown tomorrow. Through the power of the beat, the listener should leave their current lot behind and break down the door towards a new world of opportunity. The song's emphasis is on the final sentence of the chorus: "Let's get started now!!" Encouraging the listener to embrace the present moment and to start living a life devoid of hesitation and complacency.
