WORDS OF REGRET
dustbox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

傷つけてしまうことを
いつも恐れて
話合わせるだけ
ordinary life
それは僕のせい?
なにも変わらない
繰り返しの日々の中
words of regret
もう二度と言わないとして
ここから見える景色を
一つだけ変えてみよう
人まかせの幸せだけ
いつも求めて
僕は待ってるだけ
ordinary life
それは僕のせい?
今 気づいた
繰り返す日々の理由を
words of regret
もう二度と言わないとして
ここから見える景色を
できるだけ変えていこう

oh words of regret
I don't want to
say this word
今でも 言えなかったこと
できなかったこと
溢れるほどあるけど...
ここから見える景色が
一つでも変えられたら
すべてが
変わり始めるはずだから




I just say this word,
oh live as no regret

Overall Meaning

The song "Words of Regret" by dustbox is an introspective reflection on how fear and hesitancy hold us back from expressing ourselves effectively. The singer is afraid of saying or doing anything that might hurt others and thus allows life to pass by without ever experiencing its full potential. They wonder if it's their fault that they live an ordinary life without any changes in their daily routine. They regret not taking more risks and wish to change things. They want to see a different perspective and change, even if it means confronting hardships or discomfort.


The singer realizes that they need to stop regretting their missed opportunities and start taking action. They come to understand that the words they say (or don't say) have an impact, and they don't want to have any more words of regret. So they decide to take control of their life and make changes starting with their perspective, aiming to see things differently from what they have usually seen so far. The singer knows that there are things they can't change, but altering the way how they view or approach things is a start towards a happier and fulfilling life, one with no regrets.
