Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
どちらを選んだとしても
俺は後悔しないよ
するとすれば君の方だ
どんな 痛みなら
理解し合えるかな?
その答えは
何の為に生まれて
何処へ向かうのか
俺は自分で決める
Sorry not sorry
君の望むようになれない
Can't control me
いつでも my only
Sorry not sorry
ただ自由きままに
進みたい方に
舵をとるだけ
Sorry not sorry
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah oh-oh
Yo brother
全てを壊したいよ
欲望は恐れで静止してる
Yo sister 君の言葉
未だに脳内で息をしてる
産まれた時
既に 身篭っていたんだ
自分の存在以上に大切なもの
誰にも譲れないよ
他をあたってくれ
どうせ君じゃ持て余す
Hey
Sorry not sorry
君の望むようになれない
Can't control me
いつでも my only
Sorry not sorry

Sorry not sorry
こんなに長く続く道だと
思っていなかったけれど
今の自分になれてよかった
何も間違っていなかった

Sorry not sorry
The lyrics of Shota Shimizu's "Sorry" talks about choosing one direction over the other with the certainty of no regrets in the end. The singer chooses the path that leads to the person he loves. However, the lyrics suggest that there is no clear answer on the type of pain that can be understood by two people. The singer then questions his own existence, where he is heading, and what he wants in life. He assures himself that he will be free to make his own decisions despite the expectations of others, and he is not sorry for living his life as he pleases. The chorus repeats the words "sorry not sorry," as the singer realizes that he cannot please everyone, and he chooses to steer his life according to his own wishes.
The lyrics convey the message of individuality and personal freedom. The song suggests that no matter how much one desires to fit into someone else's expectations, the decision to live life according to one's own principles lies with the individual alone. The theme resonates with many people who struggle with living up to societal expectations or family traditions. The constant repetition of the phrase "sorry not sorry" emphasizes the need to detach from the opinions of others and live life free from regret.
