Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

1人で見つけたカタルシスじゃ
悲しみの予定ばからしくて
ふりはやめて素直になれることが
答えじゃない
ほら
だから Birthday
初めてね Birthday
生まれたままでいいの

Birthday Yeah yeah
Birthday Yeah yeah
何かにツカレタあの夜には
しなくちゃいけないキスで泣いた
求めてても
いつでもわたしから手をほどく
なぜ?
だけど Birthday
教えてよ Birthday
生まれたままでいいの?
Birthday Yeah yeah
Birthday Yeah yeah

ふりはやめて素直になれることが
答えじゃない
ほら
だから Birthday
初めてね Birthday
生まれたままでいいの
Birthday Yeah yeah

Birthday Yeah yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to No-Limitt's song Happy Birthday are nuanced and packed with emotion. The opening verse talks about finding solace in oneself, and how plans of sadness are foolish. The singer urges themselves to stop pretending and be honest about their feelings. The chorus starts with a simple statement: "so, it's your birthday" and repeats the phrase "birthday yeah yeah". It's apparent that this song is more than just a celebratory tune, as the singer asks if it's okay to be born as they are, and if they should remain transparent despite the challenges they face.

The second verse reveals a moment of vulnerability when the singer kissed someone on a night when they were troubled. Despite wanting that person, they are willing to let them go whenever they choose. The repeating chorus is a message of hopefulness, a reminder to embrace who the singer is at their core. It's a call to live authentically and confront their struggles with courage.
