Want Want Want Meaning & Lyrics (Back Number)
Iyori Shimizu writes that after burning his own reasons, the only thing that stays is the relentless want. He says the reward matters less than seizing the goal for himself.
Hajimari Wa Mou OmoidasenaiI can’t even remember the beginning anymore.
Sore Wa Totemo Doramachikku DeIt was so dramatic back then,
Dakedo Namae Wo Tsukete ShimaebaBut if I had to give it a name,
Nariyuki Datta You NaIt feels like it was just the way things played out.
Dekiru Kamo Nante Omoeta No WaThe only reason I thought ‘I might be able to do this’,
Nani Mo Shiranai Ano Hi Dakara DeIs because I knew absolutely nothing that day.
Ima Ja Dore Mo Totemo MabushikuNow, everything looks so dazzlingly bright,
Tooku Toutoku OmouAnd feels so distant and precious.
Nakushitari Mitsuketari Moraetari ShitaLosing things, finding them, and receiving them too,
Boku Dake No Riyuu Wo Moyashite Tomoshita Sono Ato DeAfter I burned up my own reasons to light the way ahead.
Doushite Mo Aa Doushite MoNo matter what, ah, no matter what,
Nokotta No Wa Sore DakeThat is the only thing that remained.
Gohoubi Wa Daijoubu Da YoI’m fine without a reward,
Koko Ni Tsukami Ni Kitan DaI came here to seize it for myself.
Ame No Hi Mo Tsuyoi Kaze No Hi De MoEven on rainy days or days with strong winds,
Guuzen To Futsū Wo TsumikasanetePiling up coincidences and ordinary moments.
Kore Ga Itsuka Doko Ni Mo NaiHoping this will someday turn into a miracle,
Kiseki Ni Kawaru You NiThat can’t be found anywhere else.
Morattari Maneshitari U惚retari ShitaGetting things, copying others, getting conceited,
Boku Dake No Seikai Wo Moyashite Tomoshita Sono Ato De MoEven after burning my own ‘correct answers’ to light the way.
Doushite Mo Aa Doushite MoNo matter what, ah, no matter what,
Hoshii Mono Wa Onaji DeThe thing I want stays the same.
Kiyoki Wo Mejirushi Ni ShiteUsing that purity as a landmark,
Koko Ni Tsukami Ni Kitan DaI came here to seize it.
Doryoku To Kekka GaEfforts and results,
Kurikaesareru Monogatari NoIn this story that keeps repeating.
Honno Ichibu Da To Shita TteEven if it’s just a tiny fraction of it,
Kono Shunkan Wa Boku No Ban DaThis moment right here is my turn.
Deai Yo Wakare YoOh, encounters! Oh, farewells!
Ano Hi Mita Mirai YoOh, the future I saw that day!
Boku Wa Koko DaI am right here.
Nige Mo Kakure Mo ShinaiI won’t run, and I won’t hide.
Dakishimete Kowashitari Naoshitari ShitaHolding it close, breaking it, fixing it again,
Hitotsu Dake No Jinsei Wo Moyashite Tomoshita Sono Ato DeAfter burning this one and only life to light the way.
Doushite Mo Aa Doushite MoNo matter what, ah, no matter what,
Nokotta No Wa Sore DakeThat is the only thing that remained.
Gohoubi Wa Daijoubu Da YoI’m fine without a reward,
Koko Ni Mukae Ni Kitan DaI came here to meet it.
Doryoku To Kekka GaEfforts and results,
Kurikaesareru Monogatari NoIn this story that keeps repeating.
Honno Ichibu Da To Shita TteEven if it’s just a tiny fraction of it,
Kono Shunkan Wa Boku No Ban DaThis moment right here is my turn.
Hikari Yo Subete AtsumareOh light, gather everything here!
Kono Shunkan Wa Boku No Ban DaThis moment is my turn.
