Though most of their raw material was composed on two guitars, in early 2005 producer Eric Elvendahl began to arrange and record their songs with full instrumentation, which by 2006 grew into their first full-length album entitled "Pretty Songs About Ugly Things". 2010 marked the release of their sophomore release, "The Coldest Hour (Is Just Before The Dawn)", a dynamic journey through the metaphoric hours between dusk and dawn. Today Akai draws on the talents of up to 10 musicians for live support, playing mandolin, glockenspiel, flute, classical guitar, accordion and banjo. (www.theakai.com)

Best A Man Can Find
Akai Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watching you sleep bring
I get so warm inside, moisture wells up my eyes

But when we wake it seems our wineskins break




Overall Meaning

"Best A Man Can Find" by Akai is a love song with a melancholic tone. The opening lyrics, "Watching you sleep bring, I get so warm inside, moisture wells up my eyes," suggest that the singer is in deep love and is moved emotionally by the mere sight of their significant other sleeping peacefully. It showcases the internal conflict of the singer, who is happy to be with the person they love but is also overwhelmed with emotion that they can barely contain themselves.


The subsequent lyrics - "But when we wake it seems our wineskins break" – deliver a sudden shift in tone. The image of a "wineskin" used here can be interpreted as the relationship between the two lovers. The wineskin, if handled with care, can store and preserve wine. In this context, it signifies the relationship and the love that the two people share. However, the use of the word ‘break’ suggests that there is something not quite right, setting a somber and uneasy tone for the remainder of the song.


Overall, the song reveals the complexities of relationships and portrays the struggles often faced by couples in overcoming barriers and preserving their love. Akai's delivery is poignant, reflective and emotive, drawing listeners in with deeply personal and moving lyrics.


Line by Line Meaning

Watching you sleep bring
The peaceful sight of you sleeping fills me with warmth and causes tears to form in my eyes.


I get so warm inside, moisture wells up my eyes
I feel a sense of warmth within me and my eyes become moist with tears.


But when we wake it seems our wineskins break
However, when we wake up, it feels like our sense of euphoria is shattered.

I think you may have more damage if your Angela use her Energy Regen/Skill/Passive to Karrie but it goes to Uranus because Uranus has the highest Battle Power in the team.

Make sure that the hero you wanted to use for Angela is the highest Battle Power in the team.
