THE ALFEE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ただ夢中で
鳥籠のような毎日に
ケリをつけたつもりだったぜ
I wanna go back to home town 遅すぎるのかい?
都会の吹き溜まりの中
彷徨うたび
届かない夢と知ったのさ
I wanna go back to school days 遅すぎるのかい?
だから shout! Shout! Shout! Shout!
叫ぶしかないのさ!
誰か stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
俺を止めてくれ!
頭は frustration 満足できないぜ
誰もが俺を見てるぜ are you a teddy boy?
冷たい時代の中で
恋に落ちた
あの娘はすさんだ心に
光を与えてくれそうだぜ
I'll be back! My babe 暖めておくれ
だけど shout! Shout! Shout! Shout!
叫ぶしかないのさ!
だれも stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
俺を止められない!
頭は frustration 満足できないぜ
羽のない天使のように堕ちる
頭は frustration 満足できないぜ
たどり着けない station 彷徨いつづけてる
頭は frustration 満足できないぜ
羽のない天使のように堕ちる
The lyrics to THE ALFEE's song "Furyo Shonen" or "Delinquent Boy" describe the struggles of a young boy who leaves home at 15 in search of something more and better than the "caged" life he leads at home. He is frustrated with his current situation and seeks out the freedom and excitement of the big city. However, the reality of city life and his own limitations quickly become apparent. He recognizes that his dreams may be out of reach and that he may never be able to return to his simpler, happier school days or the safety of his hometown.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that the only way for him to cope with his frustration is to shout and scream, asking for someone to help him. He is lost, but unable to be found by anyone else. He falls in love with a girl who seems to be his salvation, but even that relationship leaves him unfulfilled. The song ends with him falling like an angel with broken wings, lost and unable to reach his destination.
The lyrics of "Furyo Shonen" speak to the universal struggle of young people trying to find their place in the world. The themes of frustration, loneliness, and the search for meaning are relatable to anyone who has ever felt lost or defeated. The song's driving beat and passionate delivery further underscore the emotional stakes of the singer's journey.
