SOULHEAD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kataashi dakedemo fumidasu beki in the line
Sometimes I walk
Sometimes I run (Quick Quick)
To wa ika naikedo
Chance kara get on
Ikutsu mo aru choice zenbu take'em
Misugosanu you
Ride or die
Noru kasoru ka wa itsumo up to ya'll
*Hikari mataide kagayaki nagara hashiru no
A long distance train
Doko he yuku no ka daremo shira nai
Everything is up to you...
"Oneself Order"...
Yume no michi wo hashiru
A long distance train
Masshiro de kagayaite
Tada mabushikatta
Aru hi watasareta
Nimai no one way tickets
Fuan...
Demo tobi notta
Ikusaki mo wakarazu ni
Kagiri nai chiheisen no ue
Kimi tonara chizu wa ira nai
Hikari mataide kagayaki nagara hashiru no
A long distance train
Doko he yuku noka daremo shira nai
Everything is up to you...
"Oneself Order"
Daremo shira nai basho
Subete ga New World
Ori tatta eki no na wa
"Oneself Order"
Hakinareta kutsu no mama
Fumi dashita the furst step ahead
Ookiku hirogaru a straight road
(remember?)
We realized our future is in our hand
Ano hi notta a long distance train
And wasure nai...
Kimi no te no nukumori wa...
*Repeat
I dedicate this verse to my homies/
Struggling/stuck in bad cycle/tumbling/
Yet you don't see what's the problem/
Kore wa issun saki mo mie nai toki no anthem/
I've been through or I'm in too/
Sometimes I wanna blame
Someone too/
But before you quit what you do/
Stop blaming/try little bit harder
*Repeat
Lelf or right
Front or back
You can choose whichever you like
Ah~ I live in my history
Ah~ We'll go down in history
Everything is up to you~
Oh~ Oh yeah ...
You can choose whichever you like
Oh~ Oh yeah ...
Woo ...
The lyrics of SOULHEAD's SPARKLE☆TRAIN revolve around the idea that everyone has the potential to shine, to rise above challenges and achieve their dreams. The song is an upbeat and positive call for people to take control of their lives and pursue their goals, no matter how difficult the road may be. The lyrics encourage listeners to "get on" when their "chance" arises, to take "choice[s]" as they come, and to "ride or die" with their decisions.
The metaphor of a "long distance train" is used throughout the song to represent the journey of life. The train is depicted as a vehicle for adventure and discovery, taking its passengers to unknown destinations where "everything is up to you." Despite the uncertainty of the path ahead, the lyrics assure listeners that they have the power to shape their own futures with an "Oneself Order." The song also acknowledges the struggles and setbacks that come with chasing your dreams, but urges listeners not to give up and to keep moving forward.

やっぱいつ聴いても、最高にええ曲やなあ!!
もう10年以上も経つんか
令和になった今でも、こういう曲が出てもおかしくないんちゃうかな?
全然古い感じがせえへんし、色褪せる気もせえへんわ
Maomii
damn, this was like my favorite song as a kid. so many good memories. didn't understand a single word but didn't matter - you can literally FEEL the soul in every note.
アイツに似てる奴
ここにコメントしてる人全員と仲良くなれるわ。SOULHEAD好きな人は全員ハイセンスだし、同じ感性の持ち主と思ってやまない。
一般的にあまり普及してないのがおかしいと昔から思ってるが、あまり知られて欲しくないとも思ってる。
自分だけのとっておき。「これ聴いてみん。イイから」って狙ってる女の子に言うとウケること請け合い。
アルペンのCMもタイアップしてたけど、センス抜群でした。正直冬でも夏でも海でも山でも雨でも夜でも何でも合う!!
こんなアーティストの存在する時代に生きれて良かったよ。
さあもうすぐスノボのシーズンだ。
タカクマ🐻
心に沁みる歌声リズム歌詞素晴らしい。
陽太ひゃー太
12年経つのか…全然古くないし
カッコいい名曲❤️
ないものねだり
10年経った今でも色褪せない名曲だな
Tommy august6
なんと完成度の高い曲。
YOPPY THE DINAMITE
グルーヴが最高。
間違いなく最高級。
二人の天才、才能の塊過ぎてみんなついて行けなかったのかぁ、と今更思ってます。海外とかのが受け入れられていたのかなぁ。
CPV 35
まあ、日本人はタイアップや流行りばかりの曲いいって言うからね!本当にいい曲やオシャレな事って自分で探さないと見つからないのにね。
hoshi pappy
同時期に活躍してたSOUL'd OUTも世に出てくるのが早すぎた天才と言われてますが再評価の流れがありますよね。
やっと時代が追い付いてきたとか、その一方で永久に追い付くことはないとかw
