Lyrics

JASRAC Works Code: 704-1296-1

Kanji Romaji Translation
君に伝えたい言葉 君に届けたい音が kimi ni tsutaetai kotoba kimi ni todoketai oto ga The words I want to tell you, the sounds I want to reach you
いくつもの線は円になって全て繋げてく　どこにだって (ah) ikutsumo no sen wa en ni natte subete tsunagete iku doko ni datte (ah) The countless lines become a circle and connect everything, everywhere (ah)

Interpretation

This is a song about inviting people into creating the content they want to, starting with “What I want to tell you, what I want to reach you” and ending with “What you want to tell, what you want to reach someone”. As straightforward as it gets, there’s no room for crafting theories or analyzing what may be happening, it is a promotional work to encourage people into becoming creators, as each person has something they alone can create, a world only they know. It may take some time of hard work, but everyone has their own story, their own world, that they should share with others. This is especially true, as musicians often will compose songs that are quite personal to them. In essence, Tell Your World is about showing that everyone's story is important.
