Peace Sign
NateWantsToBattle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day I set my eyes up to the sky
And like a plane my dreams were passing by
And I awoke to tears that had filled my eyes
I need to spread my wings out and fly
I lie awake at night with these memories
Of feeling powerless and they're haunting me
I'm always reaching out for this destiny
To make it happen that's all on me

Cruel fate sets in motion
And no one else knows why
Waiting for the day to come when will it show up
Claiming what's before my eyes
With every issue I gotta breathe through
Or the moment might just pass
They all told me I can't, they were laughing
Well look who's laughing now

Now I can feel the fire burning deep within me
I'll be the hero and no one can stop me
Loudly I will scream it from the top of my lungs
You've got those tired eyes from crying every moment
You cannot hide it, someone's gonna notice
I'll be your hero, no one's gonna hurt you again





Gonna raise my hand with a peace sign
Our story will last forever

Line by Line Meaning

One day I set my eyes up to the sky
I looked up at the sky and thought about my dreams


And like a plane my dreams were passing by
My dreams were fleeting like an airplane flying away


And I awoke to tears that had filled my eyes
I woke up crying because of my unfulfilled dreams


I need to spread my wings out and fly
I want to take control of my life and pursue my dreams


I lie awake at night with these memories
I can't sleep because I keep remembering my failures


Of feeling powerless and they're haunting me
I feel helpless and my past mistakes are constantly on my mind


I'm always reaching out for this destiny
I'm trying to create the future I want for myself


To make it happen that's all on me
I have to be the one to take action and make my dreams come true


Cruel fate sets in motion
Bad things sometimes happen that are beyond our control


And no one else knows why
There's no explanation for why some things happen


Waiting for the day to come when will it show up
I'm waiting for the right moment to make my move


Claiming what's before my eyes
I'm taking ownership of the opportunities in front of me


With every issue I gotta breathe through
When faced with problems, I have to stay calm and composed


Or the moment might just pass
If I don't act quickly, I might miss my chance


They all told me I can't, they were laughing
People doubted my abilities and laughed at me


Well look who's laughing now
I've succeeded despite what others said and can now prove them wrong

You got those tired eyes from crying every moment
You cannot hide it, someone's gonna notice
I'll be your hero, no one's gonna hurt you again
Gonna raise my hand with a peace sign

No, I could never say I'm protecting you
I know you're stronger than me and you know it too
And yet you still detest when I'm helping you
Why can't you see it's all I can do?
You know I had to change ever since the day
The day I dried up my tears and I walked away
So go ahead and laugh, there's no other way
I'm all alone and that's nothing new

Now I've been kicking and screaming
It's like I don't know how to breathe
You know that I try my best, but within my depths
There's a mess inside of me
But like an ember, I'll remember
There's a fire inside of me
Tell me to forget this, but I want this
It's all I'll ever need

Now I can feel the fire burning deep within me
I'll be the hero and no one can stop me
Loudly I will scream it from the top of my lungs
You got those tired eyes from crying every moment
You cannot hide it, someone's gonna notice
I'll be your hero, no one's gonna hurt you again
Gonna raise my hand with a peace sign
Our story will last forever

'Cause I can feel it, I can hear it screaming, keep on going
You'll go the distance, there's so much in you that's worth the showing
Give me the go and then I'll show you what I got
I'll break myself apart, I'm never gonna stop
So now you know that all my dreams and memories within me
All play so vividly and wake me up, my soul is screaming
Never take them back, I'd do it all again

Now I can feel the fire burning deep within me
I'll be the hero and no one can stop me
I'll go the distance, no one's gonna get in my way
It's time to dry your eyes, we've got no time for crying
You're gonna show them and you'll keep on smiling
And be a hero, gotta give your all every day
Now's the time to throw up a peace sign
We won't back down, no never
You and I will make our own story
I've got your back forever

歌詞が1番上に行くよう、
グッドお願いします。

ピースサイン
作詞:米津玄師 作曲:米津玄師

いつか僕らの上をスレスレに
通り過ぎていったあの飛行機を
不思議なくらいに憶えてる
意味もないのに なぜか

不甲斐(ふがい)なくて泣いた日の夜に
ただ強くなりたいと願ってた
そのために必要な勇気を
探し求めていた

残酷な運命が定まってるとして
それがいつの日か僕の前に現れるとして
ただ一瞬 この一瞬 息ができるなら
どうでもいいと思えた その心を

もう一度
遠くへ行け遠くへ行けと
僕の中で誰かが歌う
どうしようもないほど熱烈に
いつだって目を腫らした君が二度と
悲しまないように笑える
そんなヒーローになるための歌
さらば掲げろピースサイン
転がっていくストーリーを

守りたいだなんて言えるほど
君が弱くはないのわかってた
それ以上に僕は弱くてさ
君が大事だったんだ

「独りで生きていくんだ」なんてさ
口をついて叫んだあの日から
変わっていく僕を笑えばいい
独りが怖い僕を

蹴飛ばして噛み付いて息もできなくて
騒ぐ頭と腹の奥がぐしゃぐしゃになったって
衒い(てらい)も外連(けれん)も消えてしまうくらいに
今は触っていたいんだ
君の心に

僕たちは
きっといつか遠く離れた
太陽にすら手が届いて
夜明け前を手に入れて笑おう
そうやって青く燃える色に染まり
おぼろげな街の向こうへ
手をつないで走っていけるはずだ
君と未来を盗み描く
捻りのないストーリーを

カサブタだらけ荒くれた日々が
削り削られ擦り切れた今が
君の言葉で蘇(よみがえ)る
鮮やかにも
現れていく
蛹(さなぎ)のままで眠る魂を
食べかけのまま捨てたあの夢を
もう一度取り戻せ

もう一度
遠くへ行け遠くへ行けと
僕の中で誰かが歌う
どうしようもないほど熱烈に
いつだって目を腫らした君が二度と
悲しまないように笑える
そんなヒーローになるための歌
さらば掲げろピースサイン
転がっていくストーリーを

君と未来を盗み描く
捻りのないストーリーを

Lyrics
One day I set my eyes up to the sky
And like a plane my dreams were passing by
And I awoke to tears that had filled my eyes
I need to spread my wings out & fly

I lie awake at night with these memories
Of feeling powerless and they're haunting me
I'm always reaching out for this destiny
To make it happen that's all on me

Cruel fate sets in motion
And no one else knows why
Waiting for the day to come
When will it show up
Claiming what's before my eyes

With every issue
I gotta breathe through
Or the moment might just pass
They all told me I can't
They were laughing
Well look who's laughing now?

Now I can feel the fire
Burning deep within me
I'll be the hero and no one can stop me
Loudly I will scream it from the top of my lungs

You've got those tired eyes from crying every moment
You cannot hide it, someone's gonna notice
I'll be your hero, no one's gonna hurt you again

Gonna raise my hand with a peace sign
Our story will last forever!

No I could never say I'm protecting you
I know you're stronger than me and you know it too
And yet you still detest when I'm helping you
Why can't you see it's all I can do

You know I had to change ever since that day
The day I dried up my tears and I walked away
So go ahead and laugh there's no other way
I'm all alone and that's nothing new

Now I've been kicking and screaming
It's like I don't know how to breathe
You know that I try my best
But within my depths
There's a mess inside of me

But like an ember I'll remember
There's a fire inside of me
Tell me to forget this
But I want this
It's all I'll ever need

Now I can feel the fire burning deep within me
I'll be the hero and no one can stop me
Loudly I will scream it from the top of my lungs

You've got those tired eyes from crying every moment
You cannot hide it, someone's gonna notice
I'll be your hero, no one's gonna hurt you again

Gonna raise my hand with a peace sign
Our story will last forever!

Cause I can feel it
I can hear it screaming keep on going
You'll go the distance
There's so much in you that's worth the showing
Give me the go and then I'll show you what I got
I'll break myself apart
I'm never gonna stop

So now you know that all my dreams and memories within me
Appear so vividly and wake me up my soul is screaming
Never take them back I'd do it all again

Now I can feel the fire burning deep within me
I'll be the hero and no one can stop me
I'll go the distance no one's gonna get in my way

It's time to dry your eyes
We've got no time for crying
You're gonna show them and you'll keep on smiling
Be a hero gotta give your all every day

Now's the time to throw up a peace sign
We won't back down no never
You and I will make our own story
I've got your back forever



@thestrange1s

"They all told me I can't"
"They were laughing"
"Well look who's laughing now"

Deku's life in a nutshell there before U.A people was laughing since he was quirkless now he's laughing since their gona know they the guy they bullied has become the number 1 hero, and gona regret it.

"No I could never say"
"I'm protecting you"
"I know you're"
"Stronger than me"
"And you know it too"
"And yet you still detest"
"When I'm helping you"
"Why can't you see"
"It's all I can do"

Deku knows even though he has a quirk Katsuki is still stronger than him at this stage but he'll eventually get stonger, and better than Katsuki, which Katsuki does eventually help him become stronger to get better than him, with other classmates helping him control BlackWhip, and Float (But they just got told that BlackWhip was just a quirk that Izuku randomly got, and never got told about float they just got told hes gona need help with fighting mid-air).



@Murorela

I can't believe it happened, this makes me so happy.
The short version helped me so much 2 years ago when I was going through a really rough patch.
My mother suddenly fell sick and passed away. I had the hardest time doing anything, but I couldn't show how depressed I was to my father because he was also having a hard time.
I listened to this song on repeat so many times, whenever I had to work, or just to cheer myself up.
I still remember how it felt the first time I listened to it. It made me want to get back up and try. This is why I'm very fond of this cover.
In case you're wondering, it took time and effort, but I'm doing great now.

I'm not usually the type that leaves long comments but I really wanted to thank Nate and you guys.
Really, thank you ♡
