U-KISS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
nothing is impossible
What do you need for your life?
どうしても抑えきれない情熱は
孤独も吹き飛ばす
さぁ聞こえ始めた本当の声に
身を委ねながら Let's fly high
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah ...
世界を変える 未来を描く
"昨日より今日、
今日より明日..."と
前に倒した重心で保ってる
バランスだけが僕を生かしてる
時代は誰にも選べないから
何故に信じられない?
判断するのは一体誰だい?
一度きりの人生だって
君を作れるのは君だけ
高くそびえる壁だとしても
きっと乗り越えるか、突き破るしか
答えはないと僕は知ってるのさ
向かい風なら高く翔べるはず
歩き疲れただろう
諦めるのは簡単だろう
Wonder do or not なら進もう
今も希望は輝く頭上
アスファルトに咲いた
花のように強くStay yourself
Every Single One of You
恐がらないで
ふかく深呼吸
そしてGo ahead again
Every Single One of You
明日に向かって (明日に向かって)
誰もにひそむ可能性は美しい
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah ...
たとえ僅かでも
全てのStepが軌跡に変わる
ひたすら前へ 未来をつかめ
他の誰かと比べてみても
何一つとして同じものは無い
ただの容器(いれもの)なら
それを活かすだけ
僕の心は自由と生きる
干からびた化石のように
存在するのはIt's so boring
無駄だとしてもRollin' Rollin'
君にも出来るのさ 願い通り
取り残されたのは 君じゃなく、
退屈な世界
Every Single One of You
恐がらないで
ふかく深呼吸
そしてGo ahead again
Every Single One of You
明日に向かって (明日に向かって)
誰もにひそむ可能性は美しい
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah ...
たとえ微かでも
全てのTryが常識を壊す
今をふりきれ 未来をつかめ
どうしても抑えきれない情熱は
孤独も吹き飛ばす
さぁ聞こえ始めた本当の声に
身を委ねながら Let's fly high
Every Single One of You
恐がらないで
ふかく深呼吸

Maintained the balance by tilting forward
Stay balanced by moving forward
Only balance keeps me alive
Maintaining balance is essential for survival
Because nobody can choose the era
The era is beyond our control
Why can't we believe it?
Why do we struggle to believe in ourselves?
Who exactly makes a judgment?
Who is really responsible for making decisions?
Even if this life comes once
Life is precious and should be lived to the fullest
Only you can make yourself
You have the power to create your own destiny
Even if it's a towering wall
Even in the face of difficult challenges
I will surely overcome, or break through it
I shall find a way to overcome it
I know there is no answer
There is no clear solution
You should be able to soar high against the headwind
You can achieve great things even in difficult circumstances
You must be tired of walking
You may be feeling fatigued
It's easy to give up
Giving up is a tempting option
Let's move forward if it's a Wonder, do or not
Take a risk, even if you are unsure about the outcome
Hope still shines above our heads
There is always hope to be found
Blooming on the asphalt
Overcoming obstacles can be beautiful

Comparing yourself to others
Comparing yourself to others can be misleading
There is nothing similar at all
Everyone has their own journey
If it's just a container
If you think you are just an empty vessel
Just make the most of it
Make the most of what you have
My heart is living freely
I am living life on my own terms
Like a dried-up fossil
Life becomes monotonous and dull
Even if it's useless, Rollin' Rollin'
Move on, no matter what
You can make your dream come true
You have the power to make your dreams a reality
It's not you who got left behind
You are not a failure
It's the boring world
The world is what holds you back
Even if it's faint
Even if it's just a small amount
All tries will destroy common sense
Sometimes you need to break free from limitations
Throw away the present and seize the future
Let go of the past and move forward
Don't be afraid, Every Single One of You
Believe in yourself always
Take a deep breath
Relax and take a deep breath
And Go ahead again
Keep moving forward
Beautiful potential in everyone
Everyone has untapped potential within them
Even if it's faint
Even if it's just a small amount
All steps will change to a trail

Eliminates feelings of loneliness
Now, surrender yourself to the true voice that you have just begun to hear
Embrace the voice inside that speaks the truth
Let's move forward and don't be afraid, Every Single One of You
Believe in yourself always and keep moving forward
Beautiful potential in everyone
Everyone has untapped potential within them
Even if it's faint
Even if it's just a small amount
All steps will change to a trail
Every step you take is a part of your journey

This is why KissMe's don't talk about eras before Man Man Ha Ni. Unless we make fun of their hairstyles. :P
But the song is catchy as HECK!
