My Generation
YUI (ユイ) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ちいさな窓から吸い込んで ため息
期待することに イヤんなって
孤独になったけれど
でも諦めたつもりじゃなかった
チャイムが鳴り終われば
現実はもっと
早く進んでゆくでしょ
気持ちとはちょっと 違ってたんだ
はじめから自由よ
My Dream言葉に出来ないだけなのに
誰でもいいからと
傷つけて泣いた夜
わかってほしいなんて
思わないけど
描いた夢を信じきれない弱さに
ただ支配されてた
Sixteen My Dream
制服 脱ぎ捨てた 16のアタシに
負けたくはないから
うしろ指 さされたって
振り向いたりしなかった
あたしならまだやれるはずだって
犠牲にできないのは
こみ上げる希望 無くしたら
また道に迷うだけ
邪魔なんてされたくない
わかっているの 覚悟があれば
いつだって自由よ
My Dream壊れることなんてないから
待ちきれない季節の中
歩き始めたの
うつむいてた時間を取り戻して
描いた夢を強く信じきれた時から
変わる Generation
Sixteen My Dream
ひび割れた校舎の壁にもたれて
誓ったの 叶えてみせるから
My Dream言葉に出来ないだけなのに
描いた夢を信じきれない
弱さにただ支配されてた
Sixteen My Dream
The lyrics to YUI (ユイ)'s song "My Generation" describe the struggles of a young person in their teenage years trying to find their place in the world. The song opens with the person taking in a breath of fresh air and feeling weighed down by the expectations and pressures placed on them. Despite feeling alone and isolated, they never intended to give up on their dreams. They realize that reality moves faster than they expected and their emotions are more complex than simply feeling restless. They long for the freedom to pursue their dreams while acknowledging that expressing these dreams can be difficult. They have been hurt and cried themselves to sleep, but they do not expect anyone to understand the weakness they feel, as they struggle to believe in their dreams.
As the song continues, the person reflects on their experiences and the lessons learned. They have gained strength and resilience since they were sixteen years old, and they are determined to move forward, leaving behind the criticisms, judgments, and negative comments. The person is no longer the same sixteen-year-old who walked away from the traditional expectations and standard life events, but they have become something new, a new generation facing their own struggles and seeking their dreams. They recognize that the path ahead may be challenging and the burden may be heavy, but they stand firm, refusing to be held back. The person leans against the broken wall of their school and makes a promise to themselves to fulfill their dreams and strive to attain the future they envision for themselves.
