会心の一撃 (Kaishin No Ichigeki) Lyrics – YOASOBI

会心の一撃 (Kaishin No Ichigeki) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
It’s about a future that feels overwhelming, inspiring, and beyond anything perfect or ideal.

[Verse 1]
The world can be harsh and teasing, saying it doesn’t matter if you exist or not, but the singer just wants genuine connection and someone to show up and talk now.

[Verse 2]
They wonder how many regrets or chances it will take to surpass their own expectations and if things would have turned out differently if they had been braver or acted sooner.

[Pre-Chorus]
Life feels like a race, full of successes and failures. Even when opportunities come, there’s a feeling of being overlooked or that others don’t need them.

[Chorus]
The song contrasts an exciting, emotional, adventurous future that feels alive with a safe, average, boring life that is predictable, painless, and uneventful.

[Post-Chorus]
There’s a desire to surprise themselves, act boldly, and make commitments before opportunities or excitement slip away.

[Verse 3]
Life doesn’t come with instructions, and we have to make decisions and predictions ourselves, sometimes questioning why things are the way they are or why people accept “it can’t be helped.”

[Chorus]
It highlights the difference between a creative, instinctive, extraordinary world and a dark, violent, unfair world full of cruelty and rebellion.

[Bridge]
The world is full of extremes—breathtaking, miraculous, cruel, decadent, selfish, and intense—all at the same time, showing the contrast between beauty and harsh reality.

[Chorus]
It imagines a future that’s daring, artistic, and unpredictable, where risks and bold choices can lead to extraordinary, almost impossible victories, like turning the tide in a critical moment.

[Outro]
It keeps the focus on the endless possibilities of the future, full of hope, challenge, and excitement.
