Mr.Children Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

安直だけど純粋さが胸を打つのです
分かってながら僕らは猥褻

情報過多で簡略化だぜ 文明の利器は
僕らをどうして何処へ運んでく

誰だってしんどい
集団で牛丼食べて孤独な想いを消してんだ
ほらもう少しの辛抱 あわてん坊よ 焦るな

忘れ去られた人情味を探して彷徨っている僕らって 愛に舞う旅人
うつむかないで天上を見よ 転ばぬ先の杖なんていらない
でも心配 そんで今日もまた神頼み

愛情の表現なんてのは十人十色です
僕に構わず先に行ってくんさい

裸で抱き合って
隣人と将来などを不安な想いで見つめんだ
悩みは尽きないや 切ないがぐれるな

恋に身を投げるロミオ 美談にならない時代だよって 僕もまた旅人
言い訳せずに実行せよ 正当化せず答えを探そう
ありがとう こんな僕に付き合ってくれて

どうせ駄目ならやってみよう
数え切れぬ絶望を味わった 夢を追う旅人
この人生をまっとうせよ




誰のものでもないと図に乗って しくじって
そんで今日もまた神頼み 神頼み

In many ways, "Tabibito" is a deeply personal and introspective song.
