SUEMITSU & THE SUEMITH Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

井戸の中に座って
井戸の中で戦って
井戸の中で勝ち続けた
勇者をいま丸い空から

誰かがほら見下ろして
指を指しては嘲笑った
井戸の中で勝ち抜いた

勇者のこと

外は騒がしい空騒ぎの世界
口ばっかで誰も戦いもしないで

この狭くって小さな世界
ここが僕の全部の世界
戦っているよ何も知らないって笑われながら

手をのばして届く世界
ここはリアルで確かな世界
戦っているよ何も知らないで今日もまた

井戸の底で出会って
井戸の底で別れて
井戸の底でわかった
愛のこと

外は騒がしい胸騒ぎの世界
手探りで生きる闇で見上げて

この狭くって小さな世界
ここが僕の信じる世界
愛し合っているよ何も知らないって笑われながら

手をのばして届く世界
ここはリアルで確かな世界
愛し合っているよ何も知らないで今日もまた

戦っているよ逃げも隠れもせず笑われながら

どうあがいて夢見たって

ここが僕の住んでる世界
戦っているよ何も知らないで今日もまた
