Tsukiakari ukabeta yoru no namitachi

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Chemistry's song RIPTIDE describe a night when the moonlight shines down on the singer and their memories. The singer reaches out towards the flowing scenery, trying to grasp a promise made on that day. They vow to never forget the love they shared, even though their paths have diverged. The waves of the sea feel like an illusion, drawing them closer to the person they long to meet again. The singer remembers their love's name and laughs, even though it's just a facade to cover up their true feelings. All they truly want is to run into the arms of their lost love, to embrace them once again.
