Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a picture of someone navigating the complexities of urban life, striving to maintain their core self amidst external pressures. The opening lines, "It's My Life / きっと大丈夫 (It'll be okay) / マジメにやってきたじゃない (Haven't I been serious?)" set a tone of self-reassurance, a quiet insistence on personal integrity. This isn't a boast, but a grounding statement, a reminder of past efforts in the face of present uncertainty. The central tension arises from the struggle to preserve passion and love ("情熱なくさないように / ススメ Rock 'n roll Life" - To not lose passion / Let's go, Rock 'n roll Life) while acknowledging the weariness of constant effort. The narrator questions the value of "何事もトライ? (Trying everything?)" suggesting a need for discernment rather than blind optimism. The image of a crowded intersection where people bump into each other with a perfunctory "Excuse me" highlights the impersonal nature of the city, where genuine connection can feel fleeting. A striking element is the contrast between the internal mantra "It's My Life / きっと大丈夫 (It'll be okay)" and the external reality. The narrator sings "Always a star / 遠慮してたら No No No (If you hold back, No No No)," revealing a performative aspect to their resilience. This isn't just about inner strength; it's about projecting it, even when feeling the "blue wind" of the city that "生ぬるくなってきてイヤだわ (is getting lukewarm and I hate it)." The lyrics suggest that maintaining this outward "star" quality is a form of "つよがり (bravery/putting on a brave face)" that continues. Ultimately, the effectiveness of these lyrics lies in their honest portrayal of self-motivation. The narrator acknowledges past sacrifices and lost emotions ("犠牲になって消えてった感情? love?" - Emotions that became sacrifices and disappeared? Love?) but chooses not to dwell on regret, recognizing that "わりと人生は長い (Life is pretty long)." The repeated affirmation "It's My Life / きっと大丈夫 (It'll be okay)" becomes a personal anthem, a way to process the friction of urban existence and move forward, creating "My Story" one step at a time.
