枯れても水あげて 行き過ぎたら引き返して
消せるボールペンもあって 右クリックで削除して
でも でも でも でも人間様の仲ってやつは
そんな簡単じゃないし そんな易しくないし
私だって意地あるし 殴りたい殴れなかった
真実はそこにある 私のここにある
そんな言葉 プレゼントしないで 大事にとっておくタイプだし
メイクはお手のもので 隠すのも増やすのもすぐで
飽きたらぐちゃぐちゃにして すぐに捨てて dust box
でも でも でも でも人間様のハートってやつは
言葉は沢山あるし 伝えらんないことなんて
あるわけないだなんて 思ってんならあっち行って
貴方が見てきたものが でっかいか小さいか
私が決める
大事なものを心の中に 大事なものは透明で見えなくて
大事なものを私の中に 大事なものは折れやすく弱いから
どう支えてあげましょう 自分で支えてあげましょう
嗚呼
No, no-no-no
No, no, yeah
こんな傷舐めときゃ治るし こんな程度ほっとけ
These lyrics are from NakamuraEmi's song "I" and are about the complexities of human relationships. The singer says that physical wounds can be healed by licking them and emotional wounds can be forgotten by ignoring them. She compares this to caring for plants - even if they wilt, they can be revived by watering them, and if they go too far, the caretaker can turn back and start again. However, human relationships are not so simple. She acknowledges that she has pride and sometimes wants to hit others, but also recognizes that the truth is present in herself and doesn't want anyone to intervene. She also admits to being the type of person who values words and keeps them to herself. She knows how to do makeup and can easily cover up or exaggerate her appearance, but she's aware that human hearts are not so easily manipulated. Communication is difficult and there are always things that cannot be fully expressed. She encourages others to go elsewhere if they think there is "no way" something can be expressed. She ends the song by reflecting on how important things are fragile and advises that we must learn to support ourselves.
The lyrics are full of imagery, using plants and makeup, to convey a message about human relationships that is both complex and relatable. The singer may be expressing her own struggles with relationships, but the lyrics can also be interpreted as a universal message about the difficulties of human connections. The repeated use of 'でも' (demo) which means 'but', show a contrast between what is expected and what is true in relationships.
