Dance In The Game
ZAQ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

歪んだ憂いが飛び交う中で
失い 失い 膝をつく道化
あの蝶は自由になれたかな
情熱は孤独と燃える

昨日の自分に興味なんかない
白 黒 返す言葉 裏表
常識とかいう偏見を編み込み
明暗を分かつマジョリティ

天才を演じてる馬鹿はお前か
ないし馬鹿をやりつづけてる天才かい?
最後に笑うのはどちらの女神だろう

曖昧な狂気が僕の喉を乾かす
輪郭が定義される前に ロジックを覆せ

ああ 机上の空論を夢と呼ぶ
無謀の中に光は宿った
鬱陶しい風 振り払って
力を今示そう
嘘も真実も明かせ

何度も傷ついて 研ぎ澄まされた
敏感な爪の先で 揺らぐ桃源郷
選びとり紡ぐ言葉
ひとつひとつ 大胆と繊細で象った

シグナルを読みきれ
本音か? 建前か?

生き残れと叫んでる
未来を凌駕する奇跡を待って
勇敢で臆病な僕ら
迷い込んだ世界で
もうノルカソルカで踊れ

Umm ただの数字を華麗に乗りこなす
手にするものは栄光か虚栄か
ひとりでは戦えないと知る
このゲームでは

ああ 机上の空論を夢と呼ぶ
無謀の中に光は宿った
鬱陶しい風 振り払って
力を今示そう




遊びは終わりだ 何もかも捨てて光を掴め
Ah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to ZAQ's song "Dance In The Game" reflect on the struggles and challenges of pursuing one's passions in a world that often imposes conformity and limits creativity. The opening lines describe a chaotic and twisted environment where the singer feels lost and defeated, kneeling like a clown in despair. The lyrics then subtly introduce the image of a butterfly, which becomes a symbol of freedom and transformation, something the singer aspires to achieve. However, the path to freedom is laden with obstacles, including self-doubt, societal norms, and the fear of standing out. The lyrics question whether passion burns in isolation and ponder if yesterday's self is even worthy of attention.


The second verse is more confrontational, questioning and rejecting the majority's conventions and stereotypes that limit creativity. Here, ZAQ raises the question of whether it's smarter to assume the role of a genius who lacks practical sense or a foolish person who continues foolishness. The lyrics suggest that the future is uncertain, despite the signals displayed, and knowing how to differentiate between true intentions and false portrayals is a crucial skill to possess.


In the chorus, the lyrics urge the singer to take control and let go of the past mistakes and self-doubt. ZAQ reminds the singer that he has already suffered enough in life to emerge victorious, highlighting that courage and fear are two sides of the same coin. The singer should embrace the world of ambiguity and uncertainty and dance in it with abandon and joy.
