Emergency
RYOJI & THE LAST CHORDS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somebody made the rules
You think it¥s OK

You don¥t care anyway
Soembody made you do it yeah

Is this world
So quiet as it looks
Look around
Behind the smile
Can find the pain

Emergency
Speak break watch out
This is your chance

そんなルールをいったい誰が決めたんだ
でも君はそれでいいんだろ
どうせ気にもしていないんだろ
誰かに操られてるんだ
この世界は穏やかに見えるかもしれない
でも笑顔の影に苦しみが隠れてるんだ
これは緊急事態なんだ
声にするんだ
ぶち破るんだ




目を見張るんだ
さあ君の出番だ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to RYOJI & THE LAST CHORDS's song EMERGENCY convey the idea of being controlled by external rules and norms, and the need to break free from them. The first line asks who made these rules, implying that they were not created by the individual themselves, yet they still follow them blindly. The second line suggests that the person justifies their actions by telling themselves that it's okay to follow these rules since they don't care anyway. However, the third line reveals that they are being controlled by someone else, perhaps society or authority figures. The next few lines describe how the world may seem calm and peaceful, but behind the smiles of people could be hidden pain and suffering. The phrase 'emergency' repeats throughout the song as a call for action to speak up, break free from these rules, and take a chance to make a change.


The song EMERGENCY can be seen as a metaphor for society's expectations and the pressure to conform to social norms. It urges individuals to break free from these rules that may hinder personal growth and creativity. The lyrics are thought-provoking, and the repetition of the phrase 'emergency' makes the song powerful and urgent. The song encourages people to stop being passive and to take control of their lives.
