Shunkan Sentimental
Scandal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

交わしたはずのない約束が 今日も
僕らの未来を奪おうとする
欲しがっていたものを手にしても
素直に
うまく笑えないのはなぜだろう

あふれる涙は 弱さや後悔じゃない
イタミが生んだカケラで

どんな瞬間だって運命だって
ひとつだけ確かな
ものがあると知った
ひとりで考えちゃって
現在を迷うより 明日を
迎えにいくんだ

ずっと持ってたい 心の地雷
スイッチは切ってない
カワラナイミライ コワシタイ
いつも僕を見てる
ありふれたメロディが

くだらないと 人に笑われても
キラキラ なおさら輝くのは
なぜだろう

何が真実で嘘か
リクツじゃなくて
感じていたい ココロで

きっと愛情なんて幻想だって
ごまかしたくないよ
傷ついたとしても
分かり合いたいと 強く願うほど
ぶつかることもあるから

泣けるくらい青空 交差点で
手を伸ばした
10年後もこんなふうに
いられるかな 一緒に

どんな瞬間だって運命だって
ひとつだけ確かな
ものがあると知った
限界だって困難だって
あきらめたくないよ
このまま離さないで
かたく握りしめた




君の右手のぬくもり
ここにあるから

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Scandal's song Shunkan Sentimental speak of the struggles of growing up and trying to figure out one's place in the world. The first verse talks about promises that were never made but yet seem to be preventing the future from being all that it could be. The singer wonders why even when they achieve what they've wanted, they can't be happy. The tears they cry are not a sign of weakness or regret, but rather the pain and brokenness that they feel. The chorus says that despite this pain, there is one thing that they know for sure - that they need to keep moving forward to face tomorrow, rather than dwelling too much on the present.


The second verse speaks of holding onto an emotional landmine, something that could explode at any moment and cause pain. Despite that, the singer knows that they can't deny their fears of a future that seems uncertain (KAWARANAI MIRAI). Even if the melody of their life seems ordinary and unimportant, it still shines brightly and that's something that feels special. They yearn to feel with their heart instead of relying on reason to determine what's true or false. Even if it's painful, they desperately want to connect with others and be understood. The final verse talks of the future - the intersection where the singer reached out their hand and cried under the blue sky. They contemplate if they'll still be together 10 years from now, never wanting to let go of the warmth and comfort of the person they love. The final line says that the warmth is there in the other person's right hand, and it's something that they'll always hold onto.


Overall, the song talks about the challenges of life and the pain that comes from growing up and facing the unknown. It's a message of hope, about pursuing tomorrow despite the hardships of today, and holding onto the warmth and love of the people in our lives.

Lyrics in english

A promise that I shouldn't have made
Trying to rob us of our future today
Even if you get what you want
Obediently
Why can't I laugh so well?
Overflowing tears are not weakness or regret
With the pieces created by damage
No matter what the moment, the fate
Only one sure
I knew there was something
Think alone
Rather than wondering now
I'm going to pick you up tomorrow
A land mine in my heart that I want to have forever
Not switched off
Kawaranai Mirai Kowashitai
Always looking at me
A mundane melody
Even if people laugh at you
Glitter is even more shining
Why
What is the truth and the lie
Not Rikutsu
With the heart I want to feel
I'm sure love is an illusion
I don't want to cheat
Even if it gets hurt
The more I strongly desire to understand each other
Because it can hit
At the crossing of the blue sky so much that I can cry
Reached out
10 years later like this
I wonder if we can stay together
No matter what the moment, the fate
Only one sure
I knew there was something
Even the limits are difficult
I don't want to give up
Don't let go
I clenched it tightly
The warmth of your right hand
Because it's here

Closing songs are usually ment to calm us down after an episode but this just gets us evermore hyped...

Erudite Lion

How about HxH’s “Hunting For Your Dream”?

Dead Log

yep, i feel like they do it on purpose

gigi

Say that on psycho pass endings, they're always so hyped and amazing. One simply does not skip psycho-pass endings, they're even more hyped than the introductions, the only kind of calm is the 2nd one, which is also hype, just not as much ad ed 1,3,4 and first inspector one.

Kautsar Amira

From watching the Fuhrer’s train get blown up to hearing this music while General Grumman’s grinning and Hawkeye’s loading her gun. So badass
