Look at me now I said this time next year I'mma be the one who'll do everything And mor you said I couldn't do This one is for you This time next year I'm gonna be stronger A little bit taller Top is my only view I'm kickin' in the door now Better get out my way Never really saw me comin' You left with nothing to say This' for everybody who've always put me down I hope you open up your eyes And take a good look at me now take good look at me now take good look at me now 'Cause this time next year I'mma walk down these halls And show my face for the world to see Gonna see me And I'mma call every girl that turned me down And tell 'em now that I'm just too busy 'Cause I don't have the time And its funny how my so-called friends, Who've always left me alone, Are suddenly running into me And blowin' up my phone This one is dedicated to all of the people who said I would be nothing Just look at me now
I said this time next year I'm gonna be the one to do Everything and more you said I couldn't do This one is for you 僕は言ったんだ、来年の今頃は 全て有言実行してるって でも君は言ったよね、できっこないって だからこの曲は君に送るよ This time next year I'm gonna be stronger A little bit taller Top is my only view 来年の今頃僕はもっと強く 今より少し背も伸びて トップを狙うようになるんだ I’m kickin’ in the door now Better get out of my way Never really saw me comin’ You left with nothing to say 今このドアを蹴り破ってやるんだ 邪魔しないでくれ 誰1人僕を気にも止めず 何も言わずに去っていったんだから This is for everybody Who always put me down I hope you open up your eyes And take a good look at me now Take a good look at me now Take a good look at me now これはいつも僕を馬鹿にしていたやつらへの歌 目を見開いて僕を見てくれ 今の僕を見てみろ ‘Cause this time next year I’m gonna walk down these halls And show my face for the world to see Gonna see me そう来年の今頃は 世界的に有名になってるんだ 見てみたいだろ？ And I’m gonna call every girl that turned me down And tell them now that I’m just too busy ‘Cause I don’t have the time そして僕を振った女の子達には 今こう言ってやるんだ、忙しいから 君と遊んでる時間はないってね And its funny how my so called friends Who always left me alone Suddenly running into me And blowing up my phone 何が笑えるかっていわゆる友達ってやつだよ 今まで僕を無視していたのに 突然馴れ馴れしくしてくるんだ 携帯がパンクしそうだよ I’m kickin’ in the door now Better get out of my way Never really saw me comin’ You left with nothing to say 今このドアを蹴り破ってやるんだ 邪魔しないでくれ 誰1人僕を気にも止めず 何も言わずに去っていったんだから This is for everybody Who always put me down I hope you open up your eyes And take a good look at me now Take a good look at me now Take a good look at me now これはいつも僕を馬鹿にしていたやつらへの歌 目を見開いて僕を見てくれ 今の僕を見てみろ Oh baby Take a good look at me now Take a good look at me now Take a good look at me now Oh look at me now Whoah, this one is dedicated To all of the people Who said I would be nothing Just look at me now Look at me now Look at me now 今の僕をみろ これはやつらへの歌 僕を大した奴じゃないと言った君たち 僕をみてみろ 今の僕をみろ I’m kickin’ in the door now Better get out of my way Never really saw me comin’ You left with nothing to say This is for everybody Who always put me down I hope you open up your eyes And take a good look at me now Take a good look at me now Take a good look at me now Take a good look at me now Take a good look at me now
この曲って周りの人達からできないと思われてた人が，頑張って見返すっていう歌詞になってるけど 「周りの人達」を「自分」に変えても，けっこう意味通るよね。 「look at me now 」って自分に向かって言うと，自分自身を律することができるし， 過去できないと思った自分を，未来の自分が見返すための曲って解釈もできる。 周囲から信じられてきたくせに，大した結果も残せない自分には，こっちの解釈の方が合う。
I said this time next year I'mma be the one who'll do everything And more you said I couldn't do This one is for you This time next year I'm gonna be stronger A little bit taller Top is my only view Chorus: I'm kickin' in the door now Better get out my way Never really saw me comin' You left with nothing to say This' for everybody who've always put me down I hope you open up your eyes And take a good look at me now 'Cause this time next year I'mma walk down these halls And show my face for the world to see Gonna see me And I'mma call every girl that turned me down And tell 'em now that I'm just too busy 'Cause I don't have the time And its funny how my so-called friends, Who've always left me alone, Are suddenly running into me And blowin' up my phone Chorus This one is dedicated to all of the people who said I would be nothing Just look at me now
