DON'T WORRY, MY DEAR FRIEND
...WHAT'S EVER!

OCEAN DRIVE (OCEAN DRIVE)
The lyrics of "OCEAN DRIVE" by 石井竜也 featuring K convey a message of resilience, positivity, and perseverance in the face of challenges. The opening lines, "WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND, DON'T WORRY, MY DEAR FRIEND...WHAT EVER! Let's keep running towards our dreams forever! In this era, we still have a future!" set the tone for the entire song, encouraging the listener to stay focused on their aspirations and not be deterred by the obstacles present in society. The imagery of driving along the coast on a highway and experiencing the excitement of a crazy drive represents a carefree attitude and a desire to break free from constraints.
The lyrics emphasize the importance of maintaining a positive outlook despite the turbulent times. The mention of reaching a cape with the feeling of a sunset in the air and the wind blowing through the heart signifies a moment of introspection and rejuvenation. The phrase "THAT'S LIFE, forget about it, anyway, hey! Give us a smile!!" reflects a call to release worries and embrace a cheerful disposition. The notion that the future holds more significance than the present reinforces the idea of looking ahead with hope and determination.
The chorus of the song reiterates the theme of pushing forward despite obstacles, with lines like "WHAT'S IN YOUR HEART, YOU'LL MAKE IT ANYWAY...NO MATTER! The future is what truly matters!!" encouraging the listener to pursue their dreams relentlessly. The reference to an Ocean Drive where one jumps and dives into the sky symbolizes taking risks and diving into opportunities without hesitation. The lyrics also acknowledge that setbacks and challenges are inevitable ("SOMETIMES BAD THINGS HAPPEN"), but the key is to keep trying and return to the world of dreams and aspirations.
The song's closing verses emphasize the beauty of the blue sky and sea, acknowledging that they may shine too brightly at times, potentially causing moments of self-doubt. However, the message to "RE-START WITH US! The real BIG STAGE is ahead!" instills a sense of determination to overcome doubts and fears. The call to courage and the invitation to keep going ("HEY! KEEP GOING ON!") serve as a rallying cry for resilience and perseverance. Overall, "OCEAN DRIVE" is a song that encourages listeners to face challenges head-on, stay optimistic, and continue pursuing their dreams despite setbacks or uncertainties.
