Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at me baby
'Cause I know you know real me
Look at me baby
I just wanna show ya the truth
Look at me baby
'Cause I know you know real me
You need to know I'm here
ふたりの関係に肩書や常識
今までの経験も
We don't need that, We don't need that
つまらないことを気にしていては
見失ってしまうよ

I will let you tell me tell me tell me
you like me
Now I tell you love me love me love me
more than I do
あなたにないもの 僕だけがあげる
I know you're so crazy crazy crazy
crazy 'bout me

Look at me baby
'Cause I know you know real me
Look at me baby
I just wanna show ya the truth
Look at me baby
'Cause I know you know real me
You need to know I'm here

はじめはあなたの言葉ひとつに
傷つきもした
But I don't care now, I don't care now
すべては僕次第 変えていける
頭から爪先まで

I will let you tell me tell me tell me
you like me
Now I tell you love me love me love me
more than I do
あなたにないもの 僕だけがあげる
I know you're so crazy crazy crazy
crazy 'bout me

揺らいでるよ船の上
怖がらずに飛び乗って
すぐさまバランス取って
Rock your body
Move your body
こうなるのはあなたのせい
今すぐふたりで Escape
未知なる未来へ

I will let you tell me tell me tell me

Now I tell you love me love me love me
more than I do
あなたにないもの 僕だけがあげる
I know you're so crazy crazy crazy
crazy 'bout me

so like me




more than I do
crazy 'bout me

Overall Meaning

The Taichi Mukai song "Agony" speaks to the desire for a deep connection in a relationship, one that is not defined by societal norms or titles. In the opening lines, the singer implores his partner to "look at me baby" because he wants to show her the "real me," implying that he is not being his true self in the relationship. He wants her to know that he is there for her and that she can rely on him. The second verse suggests that they have had some conflicts in the past, but now the singer is willing to change everything about himself to make the relationship work because he believes it is worth it. The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer wants his partner to see the true him because he believes that she is "crazy 'bout me."


The song's Japanese lyrics touch on themes of self-discovery, vulnerability, trust, and mutual understanding. The singer urges his partner to let go of superficial concerns such as titles, social norms, and past experiences that can limit the depth of their connection. Instead, he encourages her to focus on the present, to be vulnerable and trust him, and to believe in the possibilities of their future together. The lyrics also suggest that their relationship is not perfect, but the singer is willing to work on it for the sake of their love.
