Daydream
Akiko Wada feat. EXILE SHOKICHI Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why'd you say goodbye?
終わりは突然で
心はあの日に置き去り

Why'd you walk away?
心はごまかせず
いつまでも
サヨナラを
飲み込んで

過ぎて行く日々に
もうすがらないと
決めてはこぼれ揺れる月

I'm still in love with you
混ざり合う記憶と幻
答えの出ない Daydream Love
あなたの声は遠くて全ては泡の中
それでも信じてしまうの
Because you're everything...
My love

I long for yesterday
叶わない恋なのに
面影を追いかけて
It was you and me

Empty lullaby
夢のようなものね
二度ともう手にさえ出来ない

Baby I can hear your voice
夢じゃなければ
二度とその手を離さないのに

I'm still in love with you
混ざり合う記憶と幻
答えの出ない Daydream Love
あなたの声は遠くて全ては泡の中
それでも信じてしまうの
Because you're everything...

もう一度だけ
あの日の二人に
そっと問いかけたい

I'm still in love with you
混ざり合う記憶と幻
答えの出ない Daydream Love
あなたの声は遠くて全ては泡の中
それでも信じてしまうの




Because you're everything...
My love

Overall Meaning

The song "Daydream" by Akiko Wada feat. EXILE SHOKICHI is a beautiful expression of a heart that is longing for a love that is gone. The first verse of the song talks about the sudden end of the relationship and how the heart is left behind on that day. The singer wonders why the other person walked away even though the heart is unable to forget and swallow the farewell. In the chorus, the singer declares how she still loves the other person and how her memories and dreams merge together with no clear answer, creating a Daydream Love. The singer's voice is distant, and everything seems like bubbles, but she can't help but believe that this love is everything to her.


The second verse continues with the theme of longing for the past and chasing after memories that cannot be fulfilled. The singer feels that the love is like an empty lullaby, something that sounds good but cannot be held. She hears the other person's voice in her dreams and wishes that it was not just a dream. In the final chorus, the singer says that she wants to ask the other person a question if she gets another chance to meet them. The song concludes with the declaration of love and how everything lies in this love.
