about

Zen 101の連続シングルリリースの最後の曲として、国際女性の日にリリースされる本楽曲は、周囲の期待や、社会的・文化的な規範に収まる事なんてできない、すべての女性や愛すべき変わり者達に捧げるアンセム。楽曲の英詞内で繰り返される"Hear me roar！（わたしの叫ぶ声を聞いて）"の頭文字がタイトルになっている。どうかこの曲が皆さんに楽しんでもらえますように。そしてお互いを助け合っていこうね。

On International Women's Day 2022, Zen 101 presents you this uplifting song as the final song of the monthly single release, to all the women and weirdos out there who never fit into the other people's expectations or societal/cultural norms. The lyrics will explain the title's acronym. Enjoy. And let's continue to lift each other up.

lyrics

Hand in hand, arm in arm, we’re gonna lift each other up.
Hand in hand, arm in arm, we’re gonna lift each other up.
Hand in hand, arm in arm, we’re gonna lift each other up.
Hand in hand, arm in arm, we’re gonna lift each other up.

波風立てないように端っこで暮らしてても
自分がここにいることで生まれる違和感
どうせ媚を売ったところで
他の誰にもなれないなら
もう黙ってんのはおしまい
もう黙ってんのは終わりにしよう
No matter how much I try to blend in
No matter how much I try to shut up
I am here
I stand out
I’m just a stubborn weirdo
I’ll never be your average princess
旗を掲げる
自分一人だったとしても
嘘の言葉を吐き続けて
ほんとうの自分が消える前に
真の言葉を見つける
呪いを解く唯一の力を
そして胸いっぱい息を吸い込んだら

Hear me calling, hear me roar
I’ve been rolling all night long

Hear me calling, hear me roar
I’ve been rolling all night long

Hand in hand, arm in arm, we’re gonna lift each other up
Hand in hand, arm in arm, we’re gonna lift each other up
Hand in hand, arm in arm, we’re gonna lift each other up
Hand in hand, arm in arm, we’re gonna lift each other up

I don’t want nobody else’s salvation
All I want is a standing ovation
I don’t mean to cause a sensation
But I am ready to find my nation
All these bitches who underrated me
now begging for my attention
I’m so comfortable in my own skin
I’m done with your patronization
I don’t kiss your ass for affection
Rather choose masturbation
See I can’t keep myself quiet anymore

Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
I will let nothing can stop me now

Hear me calling, hear me roar
I’ve been rolling all night long

Hear me calling, hear me roar
I’ve been rolling all night long

Hear me calling, hear me roar
I’ve been rolling all night long

Hear me calling, hear me roar
I’ve been rolling all night long

Hand in hand, arm in arm, we’re gonna lift each other up
Hand in hand, arm in arm, we’re gonna lift each other up
Hand in hand, arm in arm, we’re gonna lift each other up
Hand in hand, arm in arm, we’re gonna lift each other up
Hand in hand, arm in arm, we’re gonna lift each other up
Hand in hand, arm in arm, we’re gonna lift each other up
Hand in hand, arm in arm, we’re gonna lift each other up
Hand in hand, arm in arm, we’re gonna lift each other up
