Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
こんな僕でもやれることがある
頑張ってダメで悩んで
汗流してできなくって
バカなやつだって笑われたって
涙こらえて
Wow wow
いつでも野に咲く花のように
君が優しかったから僕は
元気でいるから
Woo, woo, woo, woo
どんな時でもどんなことにでも
人の気持ちになって
この心が痛むなら
むだなことだって言われたって
かまわないから
Wow wow
何もないけど
なかよく野に咲く花のように
君と暮らしていた頃を思って
元気でいるから oh
Oh, oh
Yeah, umm
むくわれないことが多いだろうけど
願いをこめて
Wow wow
何もないけど
僕らは野に咲く花のように
風に吹かれていたって
いつでもどんな時でも
何もないけど
君のために野に咲く花のように
遠く離れていたって笑って
元気でいるから
Woo, woo, woo, woo
In Tamaki Koji's song "Mr. Lonely," the lyrics convey the emotions of a lonely man who feels powerless and incapable of achieving anything in life. However, despite his struggles, he still manages to find hope and motivation through the kindness of someone who cares for him. He acknowledges his shortcomings and feelings of inadequacy but remains determined to work hard and overcome his challenges. The lyrics also talk about how the man wants to empathize with others' feelings and help them whenever he can, even if it causes him pain.
The repeated use of "woo" in the song emphasizes the man's feelings of loneliness and emptiness, which are echoed in the line "何もないけど" (nani mo nai kedo) meaning "there's nothing here." The metaphor of a flower blooming in the field is used throughout the song to symbolize the hope and beauty that the man finds in his life despite his struggles.
Overall, the song is a message about finding meaning and hope in life, even in the face of adversity. It reminds us that it is okay to be vulnerable and to ask for help, and that we can find strength and support through the kindness of others.
