THE SAILER
Oxt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
同じ行き先の誰か WE ARE THE SAILER
帆を上げて発ったあの日
誰もが手を振っていた いつまでも
それからいくつだろう
捨てた夢と拾った希望の数
七掛けくらいの結果が返ってくることに慣れてた
指を差す向こうが輝くから
脇目も振らずまっすぐに舵を取る
遠くまで行こうと乗った船には
同じ行き先の誰か WE ARE THE SAILER
経験と理想と今を
うまくやるやり方を覚えてた
'ほらまた言っただろう'
そんな失敗もとっくに無くなった
正解がなにか気づいてたから
間違いたかったあの頃とは違った走り方で さあ
振り返ることも忘れ進んでく
昨日より今日は前に行きたくて
海の果て行こうと乗った船から
同じ方角を見てる WE ARE THE SAILER
風の日も凪の日もあったように
それでもなんとかなったと
たまに笑えた日もあったように
指を差す向こうが輝くから
脇目も振らずまっすぐに舵を取る
遠くまで行こうと乗った船には
同じ行き先の誰か WE ARE THE SAILER
The song "The Sailor" by Oxt represents the journey of life and the importance of having a direction in life. The lyrics start with the representation of the journey on a ship with someone who's going to the same destination as the singer. This journey is a metaphor for life itself, where everyone has their own story, yet they have the same goal of reaching a particular destination. The singer emphasizes unity in these lines, and it highlights the importance of having people with you in life.
The second verse emphasizes the reality of life, where one can try their best to succeed, but sometimes they will fail regardless of their efforts. Yet, the painful feeling of failure can teach lessons that lead to success in the future. The lyrics point out that the finger-pointing temptation can distract the sailors from the shared goal. Thus, it is essential to stay focused and not waver because the journey ahead is long, and distractions will only result in more obstacles.
The chorus emphasizes the need to stay together to reach the destination successfully. The lyrics emphasize the idea of looking ahead and focusing on what is ahead instead of what has transpired in the past. The sailor's journey represents the journey of life that requires a shared direction, unity, perseverance, and belief in oneself. The song portrays the message of how shared direction can lead us towards successful destinations.
