Soul Dreamer
Taro Soul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

怖いもんナシって そんな訳ねえ
自信はあるけど 根拠はねえ
不安かって? 否定出来ねえ
でも人生には要らない 出来レース
子供の頃の夢は何処へ?
憧れたもんに今成れてる?
そうもいかないが 嫌いじゃねえ
今の俺も嫌いじゃねえ でも
この歳になれば 気持ちも焦るな
周り皆立派に出てる社会
世間に言わせれば ピーターパン
でも俺の栄光時代は今さ

※こんな俺でも夢を見られてる
こんな俺でも現在を愛せてる
こんな俺だけの歌 歌ってる
Stay dreamin' Dreamer
こんな俺でも夢を見られてる
こんな俺から自分磨いてく
こんな俺だけの歌 歌ってる
Stay dreamin' dreamin' Dreamer※

少年ジャンプにビックリマン
俺だけはまってたぜ Bobby Brown
カードダス集めて ランニングマン
手術のときに聴いてた ハマー
中1から下げだしたぜパンツ
部活はバスケ やっぱSlam Dunk
内気じゃないけど やんちゃじゃない
目立ちたがりでも shy guy
少年がヒーローになれる条件
勉強とかよりも 運動で
俺の場合スポーツじゃビリっ尻
でもmoon walkは誰よりも出来てた

※こんな俺でも夢を見られてる
こんな俺でも現在を愛せてる
こんな俺だけの歌 歌ってる
Stay dreamin' Dreamer
こんな俺でも夢を見られてる
こんな俺から自分磨いてく
こんな俺だけの歌 歌ってる
Stay dreamin' dreamin' Dreamer※

制服着ずに通う海辺
遅刻、サボリなしのHigh school days
真面目だが主張激しくて
ラジカセ担ぎ HIPHOPレペゼン
高3のときに決めた受験
欲しかった訳じゃねえ学歴
先を見て明確な夢 持てなくなってただけ そう
ガムシャラに夢追うことも出来なくて
惰性のまま進んでたレール
俺が俺でいられる道へ
やっと舵取り進み出したぜ

※こんな俺でも夢を見られてる
こんな俺でも現在を愛せてる
こんな俺だけの歌 歌ってる
Stay dreamin' Dreamer
こんな俺でも夢を見られてる
こんな俺から自分磨いてく




こんな俺だけの歌 歌ってる
Stay dreamin' dreamin' Dreamer※

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Taro Soul's song "Soul Dreamer" talks about the struggle of having confidence in oneself without having a solid foundation to back it up. The singer also acknowledges their own fears and anxieties, but dismisses them as unnecessary in the grand scheme of life since life is a predetermined race. The singer seems to be reflecting on their childhood and wondering where their dreams went, questioning whether or not they have achieved what they longed for or if they have become someone they could only dream of being. The singer admits that they aren't completely satisfied with where they are at in life, but they're not unhappy either. As they have grown older, they have realized that there isn't any point in feeling rushed, as their peers have bloomed in society, and they compare themselves to a Peter Pan character that never grows up because their glory days are now.


The second verse is nostalgic and takes the listener on a journey through the singer's childhood. The singer reminisces about their love for Japanese comic books, specifically Shonen Jump and the trading cards of the popular cartoon, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. They also enjoyed collecting Carddass cards and listening to classic hip-hop. The singer was athletic; they played basketball and were the best at the moonwalk. They describe themselves as not being shy but also not a troublemaker, a contradiction of being a quiet extrovert. The singer reflects on their teenage years, where they roamed the beach without uniform, didn't skip school, and listened to their portable cassette player, representing their love for hip-hop music.


The chorus acts as a powerful mantra for the singer, no matter how much they doubt themselves; they keep on dreaming and believe in themselves. They celebrate being themselves and provide a message to the listener, encouraging them to chase their dreams and become the best version of themselves.

自己主張とか自己紹介は売れない時代でもこれは誇れる一作品やね

ケビンシューナー

これが売れなかったのが未だに信じられない。最近の日本の音楽シーンはマジでおかしいよ。実力ある人には正当な評価をやってくれ。一生を暮らせるようにとは言わない。ちゃんとした評価をしてやってくれ。

budom

2016年の音楽シーンにはマッチしそう。

あべんちゅーらちゃんねる!

確かにこの曲hは当時売れると思った。
