Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
そういう風に身体は出来ています
吸った分は残さず吐き出そうぜ
(吸って吐く 吸って吐く)
いやもう身体の事だけではなく
物事全てに言えるのかもです
吸って吸って吸って吐き忘れると
聞いて
ねえ いいから聞いて
少しの時間で済ませます
3秒吸って8秒で吐きだす
(吸って吐く 吸って吐く)
5分で世界は変わります
嘘だと思うならやってみて
それすら忘れちゃうような時代だからこそ
吸って吸って吐く吐く吐く
吸う 吐く
吸う吸う吸う 吐く
吸う 吐く
吸う吸う吸う 吐く
吸う 吐く
吸う吸う吸う 吐く
吸う 吐く
Come on
吸って吸って 吐く吐く吐く
吸う吸う 吐く吐く 吸う吸う 吐く吐く
吸う吸う 吐く吐く 吸って吸って吐いて吐いて
吸う吸う 吐く吐く 吸う吸う 吐く吐く
吸う吸う 吐く吐く 吸って吸って
吐いて吐いて吐いてね
吸って吸って 吐いて吐いて吐いてね
鼻から吸って口から吐く
さあ もうお分かりかと思います
吸って吸って吐くだけの曲ですよ
(吸って吐く 吸って吐く)
さあ もう他の事はお構いなし
時代だ世代だのはお構いなし
「ラジオ体操するか」ってぐらいのノリで
吸って吸って吐く運動
さあ タンタンスタントゥルリラ
意味などはない ただの響きだ
さあさあ 準備体操だ
吸って「吐く」
吸って「吐く」
タンタンスタントゥルリラ

おかわりの準備体操だ

The song KOKYU by Sumika is about breathing - something that is essential for our existence as human beings. The opening lines of the song, "Inhale from the nose, exhale from the mouth, that's how the body is made" emphasize the importance of breathing and its impact on our physical health. The song also suggests that breathing is a metaphor for life in general. When we inhale, we take in the good things in life, and when we exhale, we let go of things that no longer serve us. The lyrics encourage us to exhale completely, not holding on to anything, and to breathe consciously.
The song's chorus comprises the words "inhale, exhale," repeated several times. The lyrics encourage us to incorporate conscious breathing into our daily lives, suggesting that doing so can have a profound impact on our well-being. The song's upbeat tempo has an energizing effect, urging listeners to move and to breathe along with the song.
Overall, KOKYU is a fun song that encourages listeners to be more mindful of their breath and use it as a tool to improve their physical and emotional health.
