Yokubou Ni Michita Seinendan

One Ok Rock's song 'Yokubou Ni Michita Seinendan' delves into the tumultuous journey of youth, marked by dreams, disillusionment, and eventual growth. The lyrics begin with a reflection on a past experience where the protagonist once saw a beautiful light, only to later realize it was a deceptive 'bad day dream.' This light, initially blinding and captivating, led them astray, causing them to waste their days. The realization of this deception brings a sense of irony and laughter in hindsight, highlighting the naivety of their younger self.

The song continues with the protagonist recalling a moment when they lifted a heavy curtain, symbolizing the pressure and negativity they faced. This struggle left them isolated in a dark room, feeling as though everything had ended and there was no way back. However, the lyrics take a hopeful turn with the repeated affirmation, 'I'm not alone. We're not alone,' emphasizing the importance of companionship and the invaluable things that money cannot buy.

They aim to achieve their goals as part of a 'youth brigade filled with desire,' learning from past mistakes and not letting words from others deter them. The song concludes with a powerful realization that they have grown and will continue to walk forward, unbound by past failures. This journey from disillusionment to growth and resilience encapsulates the essence of youthful ambition and the lessons learned along the way.
