Dame
Yo Izumi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
100年前から承知だよ
今更空き缶蹴るくらい 誰でもできる
愛は慰めの
道具なんかじゃないんだし
ダメダメダメでだめなひとね
運じゃないツキじゃない
もっと実力見せて
ダメダメダメねオンナはもう
そんなオトコじゃ感じない
いつだってクラクラときそうなほど
オトコになってちょうだい
そっちの勝手で呼び出して
さっきから溜息ばかりじゃね
全然楽しめないじゃない
情けない顔
薄い愛情で
満足してちゃ終わりだし
ダラダラダラとだらしないのね
アタシそんなに暇じゃない
はっきりと言えばそう
夢のないヤツ最低
ギリギリギリのギリギリまで
自分のことを信じてよ
その心飾りじゃなかったらね
オトコを見せてちょうだい
人は誰でも傷ついて
大きくなるものでしょう？
倒れてもまた這いあがる
それでもだめならその時
アタシが抱きしめてあげるから
いいじゃないのよ
ダメダメダメでだめなひとね
いったい何をやってるの？
この次はつよいとこ
もっときっちり見せて
ダメダメダメねオンナはもう
そんなオトコじゃ惚れないよ
いつだってクラクラときそうなほど
オトコになってちょうだい
The lyrics to Yo Izumi's "Dame" are about a woman who is frustrated with her partner who is not taking charge of his life and being a passive participant in their relationship. She calls him out on his laziness and lack of ambition, telling him that love is not a tool for comfort and that he needs to show more effort and ability to be a real man. She also points out that dreams and self-belief are important to achieve success, and that even if he falls down, he needs to get up and keep trying.
The woman's tone is assertive and she is not afraid to speak her mind. She is tired of her partner's lack of motivation and is urging him to be more proactive in their relationship and his own life. The overall message is that in order to be a successful partner and person, one must have dreams, self-belief, and show effort.

rough translation (sorry english isn't my first language)
I'm aware of all the lies around town for 100 years.
It's something that everybody can do nowadays.
Love is not a tool for comforting.
Bad! Bad! Bad! What a bad person! What do you think you're doing?
Not luck! Not coincidence! Show me your true ability more!
Bad! Bad! Bad! No women would feel anything toward such a guy
So please be a man as much as you can at anytime
You keep calling out selfishly, stop sighing for a moment already
With such a pitiful face, it's not enjoyable at all!
I'm not satisfied with such thin affection, it's over!
Sloppy! Sloppy! So sloppy! I'm not that free you know!
If I were to be honest, such dreamless guy is the worst!
Last! Last! Last! Try to believe in yourself until the last moment! *
If your heart is not a decoration, then show me your manly side!
Anyone able to grow because they got hurt right?
If you fall then crawl up again, if it doesn't work, then at that time
I will give you a hug and that's not good!
Bad! Bad! Bad! What a bad person! What do you think you're doing?
Next time show me your strong point more clearly!
bad! Bad! Bad! No women will fall for such a guy!
So please be a man as much as you can at anytime!
