Taikutsu ni yarareru kurainara shinjimauhougazutto MASHI sa

The lyrics to the punk-ska cover of "No Woman No Cry" by Bob Marley and the Wailers depict a sense of rebellion and disillusionment with the world around the singer. The opening lines describe a broken yellow sky that the singer is following and observing, feeling like they're being dragged down into the monotony of life. If one is going to be trapped in this mundanity, the singer seems resigned to accept it, even if it hurts them deeply. The singer then reaches out from this sense of defeat, telling other young people to listen and not be weighed down by the expectations of society. The next few lines feel like a personal plea to the listener: don't sell out your dreams just because they feel unreachable. Instead, the singer implores the audience to seize the reigns on their own emotional lives, so that they can live fully in this great big world without regrets.
The song spends a lot of its time contrasting the singer's own experience with a general assertion about the rest of humanity, primarily the young. Each verse starts with a phrase like "All young people say" or "Every young person knows" and then follows that up with an observation that feels more personal to the singer. By distancing themselves from the broader claim, the singer is able to paint a picture of themselves as an individual who has not succumbed to the expectations of others. This makes it all the more powerful when the singer implores others to do the same.
