You Only Live Once
The Strokes攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Others are quiet and uptight
Others they seem so very nice nice nice nice (oh-ho)
Inside they might feel sad and wrong (oh no)
Twenty-nine different attributes
Only seven that you like
Twenty ways to see the world (oh-ho)
Oh don't don't don't get up
I can't see the sunshine
I'll be waiting for you, baby
'Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
Oh men don't notice what they got
Women think of that a lot
One thousand ways to please your man (oh-ho)
Not even one requires a plan (I know)
Countless odd religions, too
It doesn't matter which you choose (oh no)
One stubborn way to turn your back (oh-ho)
This I've tried and now refuse (oh-ho)
Oh don't don't don't get up
I can't see the sunshine
I'll be waiting for you, baby
'Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
Alright
Shut me up
Shut me up
And I'll get along with you
The lyrics of "You Only Live Once" by The Strokes talk about the different ways people perceive the world around them and the different attributes and behaviors they exhibit. The first verse highlights how some people are always convinced that they are right while others are more reserved and uptight. However, it also points out that some individuals may appear nice on the outside but feel sad or wrong on the inside. The second verse delves deeper into the varying attitudes and behaviors of people and how it leads to conflict. It notes that there can be 29 different attributes but only seven that a person may like. This suggests that people can be complex and difficult to understand, and there can be multiple ways to perceive them.
The chorus of the song talks about the singer's state of mind and how they are feeling. They do not want to get up because they cannot see the sunshine. It is unclear what this sunshine represents, but it is likely a metaphor for happiness or positivity. They say they will be waiting for someone because they are through, indicating that they have reached a breaking point. The next lines suggest that the singer wants to be calmed down and wants to get along with the other person, indicating that there might have been some sort of argument or dispute between them.
The song's bridge is about gender roles and how men and women perceive their relationships differently. The lyrics suggest that men do not realize how valuable their female partner is, while women are constantly thinking about ways to please their man. However, it also notes that there are a thousand ways to please a man, and not one of them requires a plan. This might be a commentary on how some societal norms pressure women into feeling like they must always be pleasing their partners. The last two lines of the bridge suggest that religion doesn't matter and that there is one stubborn way to turn your back on things, but the singer has tried and refused.
Overall, the song's lyrics seem to be about the complexity of human relationships and how different perceptions of the world can lead to conflict. The chorus suggests that the singer is going through a difficult time but is willing to calm down and get along with the other person.

~歌詞~
0:01 夜に浮かんでいた
0:05 海月(くらげ)のような月が爆ぜた

0:11 あの夏の君が頭にいる
0:22 だけ
0:28 鳥居 乾いた雲
0:32 夏の匂いが頬を撫でる
0:35 大人になるまでほら、背伸びしたままで

0:49 じきに夏が暮れても
0:53 きっときっと覚えてるから
0:56 追いつけないまま大人になって
1:00 君のポケットに夜が咲く
1:03 口に出せないなら僕は1人だ
1:07 それでいいからもう諦めてる
1:13 だけ
1:27 夏日 乾いた雲
1:30 山桜桃梅(ゆすらうめ)
1:32 錆(さ)びた標識
1:34 記憶の中はいつも夏の匂いがする
1:40 写真なんて紙切れだ
1:44 思い出なんてただの塵だ
1:47 それがわからないから、口を噤(つぐ)んだまま
1:54 絶えず君のいこふ
1:57 記憶に夏野の石1つ
2:01 俯(うつむ)いたまま大人になって
2:05 追いつけない
2:06 ただ君に晴れ
2:08 口に出せないまま坂を上った
2:12 僕らの影に夜が咲いていく
2:32 俯(うつむ)いたまま大人になった
2:36 君が思うまま手を叩け
2:39 陽の落ちる坂道を上って
2:43 僕らの影は
2:46 追いつけないまま大人になって
2:50 君のポケットに夜が咲く
2:53 口に出せなくても僕ら1つだ

歌詞の中の【山桜桃梅】という言葉知らなかったので調べてみました。【ユスラウメ】と読み、桜の一種です。
花言葉は【ノスタルジー】
ノスタルジーは【過ぎ去った時代を懐かしむ】という意味だそうです。
あの頃に戻りたい

｢写真なんて紙切れだ｣
｢思い出なんてただのゴミだ｣
1年前はこの歌詞がよく分からなかったけど、
今、大切な人と突然音信不通になって、写真を見たり思い出に浸ったりしても満たされないんだよなぁ。こういうことかーって思った。
そう考えるとそのあとの
｢それが分からないから口を噤んだまま｣
が凄く刺さる。もっと話しておけばよかった。
｢今｣を大切にしておけば良かった。

絶えず君のいこふ 記憶に夏野の石一つ
この歌詞は正岡子規の句「絶えず人いこふ夏野の石一つ」が元になっていると考えられます。
この句は、通る人が絶えない夏の野に一つの石があり、人々はみなその石に腰をおろして憩いをとっていくという意味です。
自分なりに歌詞に当てはめると、
君が絶えずに記憶の、思い出の真ん中にやってきて、そこに留まる。どうしても忘れられない。
という感じでしょうか。
こういうのを歌詞に織り交ぜてくるのもヨルシカの魅力のひとつですよね！
長文失礼しました。
