Sadie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sakushi mao sakkyoku sadie

Monouge ni tou "ai to ha nani?"

Itsukushimu ushinatta omoide ha utakata

Tsukiagetekuru fujouri na ai
Kimi no fuzai umeru kizu kareta ishiki nageku

Kyouzetsu kurikaeshi meisou no hate ni

Risou utsutsu kisei basei

Soko ni nani ga aru no ka?

Disturbed…misfortune…I broke with my past





Kirei na uso kimi mo boku mo awareda

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Obstacle Progress" by the Japanese band Sadie are written in Japanese, but the translation of the lyrics speaks of the pain of lost love and the struggle to let it go. The first line, "Sakushi mao sakkyoku Sadie," is simply the title of the song and the name of the band. The second line asks the question "What is love?" and reflects the confusion and introspection that often comes with breakups. The following lines discuss the fleeting nature of memories and the pain that accompanies them.


The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, with lines like "Your wounds bury my absence, my shattered consciousness grieves," expressing the pain of lost love and the ways in which it can leave behind lasting scars. The verses continue to explore this theme, with lyrics like "Repeating oppression, reaching the end of delusional thoughts/Reality is based on ideals/What is there in that place?" speaking to the difficulty of moving on from a failed relationship and finding meaning in life again. The song ends with the line "I broke with my past, you and I both know it's a beautiful lie," suggesting that while the pain of lost love is real, it may be necessary to embrace a new beginning in order to move forward.
