Lonely Generation Meaning & Lyrics (Yuto Tatsumi)
The lyricist writes about a nameless flower that keeps dreaming. He mentions white shirts flapping in the wind to show quiet hope. ‘We’re just like weeds, aren’t we?’ says one line, asking if anyone will ever see their bloom.
Jidai ni shiitagerare nagasareteOppressed and swept away by the times,
Soredemo yumemiru na mo naki hana yoyou’re still a nameless flower that continues to dream.
Hanayagu machikado ni najimenai sonna karen na hito noYou’re a delicate person who can’t fit into these glamorous streets,
Akogare o itsu no hi ka kanaetaiand someday, I want to make your deep desires come true.
Inori kometa kisu de nemure ore ga iru yo kowaku wa nai saSleep with a kiss filled with prayers; I’m here, so there’s nothing to fear.
Ronrii jenereeshonLonely generation,
Daremo ga sabishii yofuke o ikite iru n da yoeveryone is living through the lonely late hours of the night.
Ronrii jenereeshonLonely generation,
Dakiai nagara nakete kuru n datears fall as we hold each other close,
Yume o kanaeru sube mo nakuwithout any way to make our dreams come true.
Zassou mitai da yo ne oretachi waWe’re just like weeds, aren’t we?
Hanasaku koto sae daremo shiranaiNo one even knows if we’ll ever bloom.
Kurashi ni owaretete koi nante tatta ichido mo nai toOverwhelmed by daily life, you say you’ve never been in love,
Hajiratta yokogao ga kyun to suruand your shy profile makes my heart ache.
Hashi no ue de kaze ni fukare shiroi shatsu ga oto tatete iruStanding on the bridge, the wind makes our white shirts flutter loudly.
Ronrii jenereeshonLonely generation,
Na mo naki hana ga mite iru yume no utsukushisathe beauty of the dreams dreamt by nameless flowers.
Ronrii jenereeshonLonely generation,
Kodoku na hoshi ni tatta hitori noOn this lonely star, there is only one person
Ai o oshieta hito ga iruwho has taught me what love truly means.
Inori kometa kisu de nemure ore ga iru yo kowaku wa nai saSleep with a kiss filled with prayers; I’m here, so there’s nothing to fear.
Ronrii jenereeshonLonely generation,
Daremo ga sabishii yofuke o ikite iru n da yoeveryone is living through the lonely late hours of the night.
Ronrii jenereeshonLonely generation,
Dakiai nagara nakete kuru n datears fall as we hold each other close,
Yume o kanaeru sube mo nakuwithout any way to make our dreams come true.
