We Are
xox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
向かってるI love the game of my life
心の井戸を掘り起こすように
ノートとペン 抱えて旅に出る
隠しきれない作り笑い
浮かべるよりも
自分らしく笑えるように
僕らの現実 僕らの夢まだ見ぬ日々を探して
雲の向こうは いつも青空 そう信じていたいな
僕はいつか 話した未来に
向かってるI'm living in a dream
立ち止まって うつむいた日々に
さよならと 呟き旅に出る
捨てられない荷物持って
歩いていくよ
自分らしく生きれるように
Just the way We are
誰かの現実 誰かの夢 忘れ物まだ探して
雲の向こうは いつも青空 そう信じてみようよ
僕らの現実 僕らの夢まだ見ぬ日々を探して
雲の向こうは いつも青空 そう信じていたいな
Just the way We are
The lyrics of xox's song "WE ARE" express a sense of adventure and a desire to find one's place in the world. The opening lines, "Toward the place I always wanted to go with you/I love the game of my life," suggest that the singer is embarking on a journey with someone special and is excited about the possibilities ahead. The next line, "As if stirring up the well of my heart/I set out on a journey with notebook and pen," implies that this journey is not just a physical one, but also an emotional and creative one. The singer is digging deep into their own psyche and taking notes on the experience.
The chorus, "Just the way we are," is a powerful affirmation of self. The singer acknowledges that they have put on a fake smile in the past but now wants to laugh in their own unique way. The repetition of this refrain emphasizes the importance of accepting oneself and others as they are, without trying to hide behind a facade.
The second verse continues the theme of journeying towards the future, with the singer declaring that they are "living in a dream" and leaving behind the past that once made them feel downcast. The line "I'm carrying baggage I can't throw away" suggests that there are still some emotional wounds to be healed, but the singer is determined to move forward and live life on their own terms.
The lyrics of "WE ARE" celebrate individuality and personal growth, while also acknowledging the interconnectedness of all people's dreams and struggles. The song encourages listeners to have faith in the future and believe that, beyond the clouds, there is always a blue sky waiting.
