やっばい太陽 塩で対応 孤高気取ってる(アイデンティティ)
いかんせん、追われては逃走 風感じて Boom(Fu)
ダメになりそう 疲れちゃいそう
頑張りは人には見せないほう
見た目はそれなりに 心はウラハラに 後悔は死んでもしたくない
Everybody 咆哮
Roar roar roar なにがほしい 思い出して
Roar roar roar ホンノウとリセイとアイで
Roar roar roar 革命をはじめようか
Roar roar roar ヒリヒリしてきちゃう
せっかく生きてるんだし 噛みつけ
空を見上げりゃ 雨降り 上がり 虹かかり... そう！
シャキッとシャンと上を向いて
ムナクソなニュースはノールックパス
要らないもんは 吐き出すんだ キャパシティそんなに余裕ない(No)
自己主張で わがままじゃない なんでなんでなんでそうじゃん？
Ready steady ready (No！)
Ready steady ready (Boo！)
ウダウダと悩む前に Go
Everybody咆哮
Roar roar roar なにがしたい 忘れないで
Roar roar roar 衝動と葛藤サラシテ
Roar roar roar 新時代はじめようか
Roar roar roar ゾクゾクしてきちゃう
せっかく生きてるんだし 食い散らかせ
遠くで誰かがずっとずっと呼んでるんだ
(Yeah 聞こえちゃいたんだ 生まれてからずっと)
どうして心はうずうずしてるんだ アァ
(Oh yeah ときはなて)
Roar roar roar なにがほしい 思い出して
Roar roar roar ホンノウとリセイとアイで
Roar roar roar 革命をはじめようか
Roar roar roar ヒリヒリしてきちゃう
おんなじにおいが集まった夜にゃ 放ってた本能だって目を覚ます
やるかそれともやられるかなら
なんでか生きてるんだし やってやんのさ
The lyrics of Tokyo's song ROAR express the feelings of someone who is exhausted and in need of a change. The opening lines describe how the morning has arrived, yet their body is already feeling unhealthy. This is followed by the line “やっばい太陽 塩で対応 孤高気取ってる” which roughly translates to “The sun is too strong, so let's cope with salt. We'll act like a loner.” The lyrics then express the feeling of being chased and needing to escape, with the line “風感じて Boom(Fu)”, conveying the sensation of feeling the wind and trying to run away.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of wanting a change and starting a revolution. The phrase “Roar roar roar” is repeated several times, and each time the lyrics express a different sentiment. "Roar roar roar なにがほしい 思い出して" which means, "Roar roar roar, what do I want? Remember it" suggests the act of trying to find your passion and remembering your dreams. The line "Roar roar roar ホンノウとリセイとアイで" roughly translates to "Roar roar roar, with reality, think and love." The song then urges the listener to start a revolution and make a change, conveying the message that life is too short to not take chances and make it meaningful.
In the bridge of the song, Tokyo encourages listeners to not worry and just go for it. The line “要らないもんは 吐き出すんだ キャパシティそんなに余裕ない” which roughly means “Throw away what you don’t need. We don’t have the capacity for it,” encourages people to get rid of things that are holding them back and only focus on what is important. The song ends with the line “なんでか生きてるんだし やってやんのさ,” which means “We are alive for some reason, so let’s just do it.”
