チャリが戦車だ 主婦の皆様
己と戦え進めドリーマー
ヒールが相棒オフィスレディー
Ah ah don't! Ah ah don't!
ほろ酔い位が丁度いいのに
ナチュラル位が丁度いいのに
どんどん濃くなる厚化粧
手に入れたい 満たされたい 気持ちがいい 一歩折れたらドツボ
昔話で教わった 欲張りは後で懲らしめられる
｢Don't Judge me! Don't Judge me!｣
ちょっと待ってよ! 天狗になってない?
｢Don't Judge me! Don't Judge me!｣
耳まで塞ぐ? そこの天狗さん!
｢Don't Judge me!」Don't!
おいおい 天狗になってんぞ
Ah ah don't! Ah ah don't!
こだわる位が丁度いいのに
どんどん固まるいらない意固地
不器用位が丁度いいのに
どんどん身につく女の計算
おこがましい おもてなし おくゆかしい 健気は折れやすい
昔話で教わった 世知辛い世の中光る人情
｢Don't Judge me! Don't Judge me!｣
ちょっと待ってよ! 天狗になってない?
｢Don't Judge me! Don't Judge me!｣
ダサい大人ここでおしまい!
｢Don't Judge me!」Don't!
おいおい 子どもがお前を見てるぞ
自分に首ったけになる前に
おいおい 子どもがお前を見てるぞ
自分の中の鬼退治はまだだ
おいおい 子どもがお前を見てるぞ
うつつを抜かせばスキマは真っ黒
おいおい 子どもがお前を見てるぞ
スポットライトも良いけど 木漏れ日は最高だろう
今日も歩き続けるサラリーマン
笑顔も戦車 主婦の皆様
積み重ねは宝石だドリーマー
今日も美しいオフィスレディー
Ah ah don't! Ah ah don't!
The song "Don't" by NakamuraEmi portrays a society where people are pressurized to conform to societal norms and expectations. The song's chorus, "Don't Judge Me," is a plea to break free from society's judgments and be one's true self. The first verse of the song talks about how people are trapped in their stereotypical roles, with men working as office workers and women as housewives. The song criticizes the societal norms that bind people and their roles in life.
The second verse of the song emphasizes the societal pressure to conform to social norms. It talks about how a person's beliefs and ideas become rigid and inflexible due to social expectations, and they cannot think outside the box. The song emphasizes the advantages of being different and unique. The lyrics encourage individuals to embrace their quirks and flaws, to be proud of their imperfections, and to accept themselves.
The song reflects NakamuraEmi's view of societal norms in Japan, where individuals are forced to fit into a predefined societal mold. Her lyrics encourage individuals to break free from these societal constraints and live life on their terms fully.
