Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aira Mitsuki's "time machine" take the listener on a nostalgic journey as the singer remembers the excitement of summer and the bittersweet feeling of saying goodbye. She questions the nature of success and failure and who decides between them, highlighting the importance of living in the moment and taking risks. Throughout the song, Mitsuki expresses a desire to relive the moments that made her heart beat faster, to feel the same surge of excitement that she experienced in the past. She acknowledges that a time machine may not exist, but still hopes to find a way to retrieve those emotions and feelings.

The chorus of the song repeats that desire to loop those exciting moments, even if it's just the feeling of excitement. The "time limit" of saying goodbye and the temporary pleasure of a piece of candy serve as symbols of the fleeting joy that Mitsuki seeks to recapture. In the second verse, she apologizes for the insufficient apology and remembers the clock that ticked slowly while she enjoyed the moment. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, a kind of call to action for the listener to reach out and find that spark of joy, even if it means taking a risk.
