勝手に言わせてもらうぜ
オレ達はそれこそおまえらと
変わらねぇただの音楽好き
昨日、今日、明日を繋いで行く
ここはそう夢の続き
yeah, ブッ飛んだbeat
ah,てっぺん行き
いつもの事さ乗り越え爽快
「出る杭は打たれる」ってヤツさ
気にせず行こうぜ豪快
ha-ha 声高らか
そうなかなか簡単には
いかねえ世の中だけど
We break beat-breaks!!
時が来れば
全ては上手くいくはずさ
ウダウダ言わずまずは
今を楽しむことをしようぜ
同じ空、同じ星眺め
憧れた夢の果てまで
笑いたけりゃ笑えばいい
We art the rock 中毒
Don't you stop 60の
オヤジになってもイカス奴で
いてえと思わねえかマジで
歩いていこうぜこの足で
yeah yeah woi woi
さぁさぁ woi woi
Don't let it get away
We're gonna groove
We'll blow blow it away,
blow blow it away
粋な音で弾く音調
奏でる旋律break a way
Now blow blow it away,
blow blow it away
がなる声で空を越えて
The future is still inside of me
yo, 先輩方
最近元気ないようだな？
財布の中が寒いからか
街は溜息色のまま
背負い込み過ぎは良くないぜ
沈黙だけが愛じゃないぜ
繰り返すように流れる
Oh no, bad news
過保護育ちのオレら世代が
花に水をあげる時代だ
いつまでも誰かのせいに
してる訳にはいかねえみたいだ
この手で自分の旗掲げ
この足で大地蹴り上げ
さぁ上へ上へ
yeah, yeah, yeah, 飛べ!!
We'll blow blow it away,
blow blow it away
粋な音で弾く音調
奏でる旋律break a way
Now blow blow it away,
blow blow it away
がなる声で空を越えて
The future is still inside of me
The lyrics of The Souls's song "Blow" convey a message of perseverance, passion for music, and rising above obstacles. The song starts with the singer introducing themselves and declaring that they are just like the listeners, music enthusiasts who connect yesterday, today, and tomorrow. They describe this place as a continuation of a dream.
The lyrics then mention the energetic and unconventional beat that takes them to the top. Despite the various obstacles they encounter, they always overcome them and move forward with a sense of exhilaration. They mention the saying "the nail that sticks out gets hammered," but encourage everyone to go boldly without caring about the criticisms.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of enjoying the present moment and embracing unity. They encourage looking up at the same sky, dreaming together, and laughing freely. The lyrics also mention becoming addicted to rock music and wanting to remain cool even as they reach old age. They express the desire to walk forward with their own feet.
In the second verse, the lyrics address the older generation, noting that they seem to be lacking energy. They suggest that it may be due to struggling financially and feeling burdened by society. They caution against internalizing too much and highlight that silence alone is not love. They mention the cycle of repeating the same patterns, but then introduce the idea of a new era - one where their generation, who grew up overprotected, will be the ones nurturing the flowers.
The lyrics conclude with a call to action, where they encourage raising one's own flag and kicking the ground with their feet to soar higher.
Overall, "Blow" is an uplifting and motivational song that urges listeners to embrace their passion for music, overcome obstacles, and live in the present moment.
