Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mahou no kagami KODOU no nami ni yurarete yume wo mitemo
KIMI to no kyoukaisen wo tobikoeru mae ni ayafuya ni naru

Hitomi tojita shunkan ni
Ai wo motto shiritai keredo

Don?t start now The feeling?s come & gone
Mecha-Mecha confusion
Soko made wa hayasugiru?
Don?t start now The feeling?s come & gone
Mada-Mada confusion
Dokoma demo karamatteru

Sora ni furisosogu hoshi no kagayaki wa kumo no mukou
Chikaduki hanarete yuku futari no Shy na tenohira tsumetaku naru

Senobi shite todokanai
DOA wo kimi ga akete kuretara

Don?t start now The feeling?s come & gone
Mecha-Mecha confusion
Soko made wa osoku nai
Don?t start now The feeling?s come & gone
Mada-Mada confusion
Itsuma demo tomadotteru

Fukaku iki wo suikomu dake
Mune no naka de zawameku kage
Kitai shitemo tamerau wake
Kowai kara

Kimi ni furete mitai fantasy
Kaze no you ni kitto tenderly
Nagai nazo ga wakaru entry

Hitomi tojita shunkan ni
Ai wo motto shiritai keredo dou naru no?

Don?t start now The feeling?s come & gone

The lyrics express the desire to know more about the person and their feelings while questioning if it's the right time.


The chorus "Don't start now" suggests a reluctance to move forward, emphasizing that there is confusion and the feeling has come and gone. The song highlights the fear of being hurt and the frustration of not being able to read the other person's mind. It talks about the discomfort of waiting for someone to open up and the unwillingness to play games.


The last verse captures the emotions of the singer, who is hesitant to make a move because they're scared of the outcome. They long to touch their partner and fantasize about it, but the fear of rejection holds them back.

BoA and I are about the same age. I started listening to her when I was 14, and now I'm a 30+ mom and still love her music.

@EyeSEeYous

It feels like I am reading a time traveler’s text, because you were present in the past.

@EyeSEeYous

I guess humans are actually time travelers - you lived your life in the past, while I wasn’t even born.

@jummpingboasince0741

Yas honey!!

@xrrgr

@user-fb6zl9jo6r

❤ Me too I am 30

@ChrisBrengel

She was, what, 14? That's middle school. Too amazing.

@jummpingboasince0741

Yes.

@MariaPaula-ig7zy

She was already in high school at that time(she was turning 15 in 2001,but her birthday is in november).

@user-zk3ko7mg8o

@@MariaPaula-ig7zy She never went to high school. If she were to, she’d have started high school in March 2002. Instead she went to some sort of school for foreigners which is not recognized as a legitimate school, but she never attended any class.
