When asked about why “Get Myself Back”, one woman in her 30’s said that when she was turned down by a dozen companies while job hunting, listening to “Get Myself Back” gave her hope.

The lyrics for the song are no doubt inspirational (the following are lyrics translated by Joseph):

Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
It’s all right. Everything will surely go well

Lured by the wind
that scoops up the tears running down my cheeks
The stars that have begun to shine
sparkle so much more when blurred by my tears
I’ll say bye-bye to my complaints and excuses
Freed from the heavy shackles, I can start to walk again

The seasons that change again
carry a new premonition
We can’t understand anything with our eyes shut
This world is so beautiful, but
unable to control these dark feelings,
I exchanged them secretly for justice
Get myself back again
We weren’t born to be hurt

Oh Oh Oh Oh…
I’ve overcome it all up to now
Oh Oh Oh Oh…
(Now I’m cryin’ to get myself back again)
I’ll wipe away my tears, there’s more ahead, isn’t there?
Oh Oh Oh Oh…
(Now I’m cryin’ to get myself back again)
It’s all right now. Everything will surely go well
