Friend
Bo En Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tomodachi make my dream come true
Kono kanji mecha mago mago
And you've never even felt this way before, I know

Tomodachi make my dream come true
Kono kanji mecha mago mago

On the boundary between me and you
Some fluidity shapes me through and through

Friends that I adore, just a mirror for me to feel alright
Lonely resource, illuminate the night





Show me something that you can do
I'll enjoy myself, I'll be eating you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bo en.’s song Friend are about the concept of friendship and how powerful it can be. The word “tomodachi” in Japanese translates to “friend,” and the opening line of the song, “Tomodachi make my dream come true,” expresses the idea that friends can help us achieve our dreams. The following line, “Kono kanji mecha mago mago,” can be translated to mean “this feeling is so confusing.” This could refer to the confusion that can come with trying to navigate friendships and relationships.


The next lines, “And you've never even felt this way before, I know / Tomodachi make my dream come true / Kono kanji mecha mago mago,” suggest that the singer is a person who has experienced something that their friends have not, and that the confusion they feel is not necessarily shared by their friends. The word “mago mago” can also mean “bewildered,” which adds to the sense of confusion and uncertainty.


The rest of the lyrics explore how friends can be a source of support and comfort, serving as a mirror in which we can see ourselves reflected and providing us with a sense of illumination in dark times. The lines “Show me something that you can do / I'll enjoy myself, I'll be eating you” are somewhat ambiguous, but could be interpreted as the singer encouraging their friend to be themselves and show off their talents or abilities, even if it means being vulnerable. Ultimately, the song seems to celebrate the value of friendship and the important role it plays in our lives.

I feel so identified with this. I interpreted that final line in the song (i'll be eating you) like he's using his friends to consume them so he'll feel better

@chrisn1292
