ずいぶん痩せたのに
あっという間に部屋の中堕落して
前以上に太ったのさ
食べて寝て動画サイト見て
また寝て食べては寝て
あっという間に部屋の中堕落して
身体に毒な食べ物ほど 美味いのはどうして?
あとで後悔しそうなほど フライドポテトが食べたい
気づけば立派な二重顎 ヒョウタンみたいなビールっ腹
なんで夜中に食べたくなる? 卵かけご飯
3分くらいでできるような
エクササイズ動画見て
一人で奇妙な動きする
ボヨンボヨン体操
食べて寝て冷蔵庫開けて
スマホ見て食べて寝て
この世で一番重い扉は
自分ちの玄関
餌付けされた鳥は僕らを 恐れることもなく
野生ではもう生きていけぬ ボンクラ鳥になる
ボタン一つで出前とれる ぼくも同じなのさ
惰性ではもう生きていけぬ ボヨンボヨンのタプンタプン
身体に毒な食べ物ほど 美味いのはどうして?
あとでお腹痛くなるほど チキンナゲットが食べたい
気づけば肌荒れ吹き出物 内臓脂肪にセルライト
なのに毎日食べたくなる ラーメンと餃子
コーラとハンバーガー フライドポテトが食べたい
カレーライスも食べたい 牛丼大盛り食べたい
マルゲリータ食べたい 別腹ケーキも食べたい
The lyrics of YU-A's song "フライドポテト (Fried Potato)" delve into the struggles of succumbing to temptations and giving in to unhealthy habits, particularly related to food and a sedentary lifestyle. The song starts off with the singer reflecting on how she had been on a strict diet until recently but quickly fell back into indulging in unhealthy habits. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer's lifestyle, where she spends most of her time in the room eating, sleeping, and watching videos online. The more she indulges, the more she realizes she has gained weight, and her body has deteriorated.
The chorus is particularly striking, where the singer wonders why unhealthy food is so delicious, and despite being aware of its negative impact, she still craves it to the point of regretting it later. The lyrics highlight how difficult it is to resist temptation and how it can quickly spiral into an unhealthy and toxic lifestyle. The second verse touches on how one may try to combat these habits by attempting home workouts and exercises but ultimately end up with weird moves that do little to improve overall fitness.
Overall, the lyrics of "フライドポテト" are relatable, and the song's catchy tune makes it an enjoyable listen. However, it also serves as a cautionary tale of the dangers of succumbing to unhealthy habits and the struggle to break free from them.
