Sim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Abracadabra
Nobody cares 'bout you under the Libra
Abracadabra
Is this'new era'?

Hit me

嗚呼 何もする気起きない
阿呆なTV もう観たくない
Same old tearjerking stories to make us cry
また'病で余命もわずかの愛'

Abracadabra
Nobody cares 'bout you under the Libra
Abracadabra
What's the meaning of this magic spell?
She needs help from somebody else

命の 祈りを
Turn it up, burn it up, yeah
痛みも 怒りも
Turn it up, burn it up
Nothing is bright
So bring up the lights yourself
Never take flight
Yeah

You're not even worth picking a fight with
Do ya dance to da riddim like this
There is no colors in my eyes
Can't you stop buzzing like a flying fly

(No) I don't want to know what's in the box
(No) I hate the way he talks
(No) I hate to sit tight on the rocks, somebody help
Do you know what the hell is a 'paradox'?
Your life is a downright paradox

命の 祈りを
Turn it up, burn it up, yeah
痛みも 怒りも
Turn it up, burn it up
Nothing is bright
So bring up the lights yourself
Never take flight

If you are the light
I am the shadow
I am a spider wasp
If you're a black widow
Everything you know is what I told

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the meanest one of all?
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Do I have to sell my soul?

Light myself again
命の 祈りを
Light a fire

命の 祈りを
Turn it up, burn it up, yeah
痛みも 怒りも
Turn it up, burn it up
Nothing is bright, nothing is right, nothing has color in my eyes
Give me the light, show me a sign
Give me something to rewrite my life
I'll never take




Never take flight
Yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sim's song "A" explore themes of isolation, disillusionment, and the search for meaning. The song begins with the line "Abracadabra, nobody cares 'bout you under the Libra," suggesting that the singer feels invisible and unimportant in the eyes of others. The repetition of the phrase "What's the meaning of this magic spell?" suggests a yearning for significance and purpose in life, as if the singer is questioning the existence of a greater meaning.


The verse in Japanese adds another layer of introspection, expressing a lack of motivation and a desire to escape from the mundane and emotionally manipulative television shows. The line "Same old tearjerking stories to make us cry" reflects the singer's weariness with the repetitive nature of entertainment and the manufactured emotions it evokes.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the need for a change and the power to do so. The line "Turn it up, burn it up" suggests a desire to break free from the pain and anger, and take control of one's own life. The repetitive phrase "Nothing is bright, so bring up the lights yourself, never take flight" conveys a sense of self-reliance and resilience, urging the listener to find their own light and not run away from challenges.


Overall, "A" captures the feelings of insignificance, disillusionment, and the search for self-empowerment in the face of adversity.

@TAH_BOW

極2主題歌をSiMがやるって知ってそういえばそんな名前のバンドいたなーって思い出し、聞いてみたらこの曲きっかけでどハマりした思い出。
過去の曲も聞いた。出演フェスも3回?くらい行った。SCANDALの対バンも行った。(ワンマンは恐くて避けてたけど行くのを決心しました。)
なぜ、なぜSiMの名を知った中学時代にハマらなかった俺、、、
あの頃ロックバンドはワンオクしか興味なかった自分に教えてあげたい。

SiMがきっかけで自分の中の価値観や考え方が大きく変わった気がする!仕事とかしててハッキリ物事言えたりとか。ほかにもあるけど、そんな影響を与えてくれたクソかっこいいバンドです!

まぁ、何が言いたいのかと言いますと、色んな歌手とかバンドとかとにかくためにしでも色々聞いた方がいいと思う!
俺はコレしか聞かない!ってのも愛があって素敵だけど、ホントに、なんとなしに聞いてみただけで自分に物凄い影響を与えるアーティストに出会えるかもしれない!こんな考えもSiMのおかげかな。

ありがとうSiM!
ごめん、酔っ払って書いたからクソまとまりないなっがい文章になっちった。
酔い覚めてみたら結構ハズイかも
おやすみ

If you heard this song in Kiwami 2 while kicking the Amon clan's ass, then you are a legend!

@leonro

I believe you're mistaking who kicked whose ass! 😉 It took me quite a bit of tries to do it.

@bippitboppit951

Was a hard fuckin fight but was worth it

@goromajima8592

It was also in the end credits scene and I had a fucking blast

@xenoking1979

Completing all the bouncer missions was a fucking painful chore and tbh when I beat Pandemonium on legend shit was anti-climatic

@Mr001Ali

@Xenoking shit was about to go down at that point. But fuck me, was it good!

As a person who never played Yakuza 2, waiting for the after-credits scene at the end of Kiwami 2 killed me with anticipation. I had no idea if they were gonna survive lmao

@cuddlecreeper8

Well since Yakuza 3 exists with Kiryu as the only protagonist it's pretty obvious

@crysalistwo189

@Cairo Cole Shut up, bot.

@DamaThamaCrazyDave

@Cuddlecreeper8 Maybe he didn't know about 3 at the time
