39-Man – Sa.Shi.Su.Se.So Lyrics ( English Translation )

[Verse 1]
Why do people hurt each other?
When sharing could easily fix the problem.
With all kinds of people in this world,
I don’t understand why it turns out this way.

Why do people inflict pain on one another?
If they can’t be number one,
Jealousy makes them tear others down.
Why does such a toxic mindset take control?

“Don’t worry about that just look ahead”
That’s the pretty thing I’d like to say.
But of course, we still care about what’s around us.
After all, you and I are only human.

[Verse 2]
Ah, I’ve had enough of these close-minded dismissals,
And the adults who fail to set a good example.
Frustration turns into bitterness and screaming.
This is the harsh reality of the planet called Earth.

I want this world to change
No, I need to change it myself.
I tell this constantly to my own heart,
In a story entrusted to the future.

[Chorus / Call to action]
Let’s erase discrimination.
Let’s break free from toxic entanglements.
Let this incredible sound
Fly out to the whole world.

Look at the white clouds in the sky
Let’s gaze at them and hold hands.
Rather than always chasing what we lack,
Let’s cherish what we hold right now.

[Verse 3]
Even social media, which gets misused today,
Wasn’t created for bad purposes originally.
It was made to connect people across borders,
And bring smiles to everyone’s faces from the start.

[Bridge / Rap]
Here comes Mr. Jun.
Hey young man over there, look at your hands.
You’re putting up your middle finger again
But try raising your index finger with me instead.

That’s the peace sign everyone uses when they smile.
All right is your heart burning with passion?
All right are you spreading smiles everywhere?
All right has this song reached your soul?

This is divine guidance, so I will sing.
One or two people start to smile.
This is the ultimate scream from within me
And sharing it is the true joy of music.

You understand it through this song, right, my friend?
One unity.
We are one unity.

📖 Lyrics Meaning

This song is a powerful social commentary on human cruelty, jealousy, and division, followed by a call for unity, self-change, and positivity.

Key themes:

1. Why do people hurt each other? – The opening questions the senselessness of conflict, especially when problems could be easily solved by sharing or understanding. Jealousy and the desperate need to be “number one” drive people to tear others down.

2. The “bad mind” mindset – A toxic mentality that prioritizes competition over compassion. The song criticizes adults who fail to be good role models, and the frustrating reality of Earth.

3. Self-change before world change – The singer realizes that wanting the world to change isn’t enough he must change himself first. This is a mature, internal shift.

4. Rejecting discrimination and toxic ties – Direct calls to erase discrimination and break free from harmful social bonds (“shigarami”).

5. Cherishing the present – Instead of always chasing what we don’t have, we should value what’s already in our hands. This includes real connections, not just material things.

6. The original purpose of social media – A surprisingly nuanced take: social media was meant to connect people across borders and create smiles, not spread hate. The misuse is our fault, not the tool’s.

7. Turning anger into unity – The middle finger (anger, rebellion) is replaced by the index finger (peace sign, unity). The song ends with “One unity” a reminder that despite our differences, we are one.
