Come on, get ready
Come on, get crazy, come on
Tomaranai fire
My heart shibire
Your heart is beating, inside
Oh! koofun knock down
Roketto sutete uchuu yuuei
Otoko no power kanjite darlin'

Daremo ai senai ne hoka ni
Ride the lightning, let's go to crazy city
Toki ga coming, twenty one century
Matte ita new life
Toi ga kita yo coming century
Nemurenai crazy dance
Toki ga coming, twenty one century
Matte ita new life
Toi ga kita yo coming century

Wake up new people
Wake up together
It's like yoake no taiyou
Get up. we're coming
Get up. we're going
Coming century is the target
Roketto sutete uchuu yuuei
Otoko no power kanjite darlin'
Daremo ai senai ne hoka ni
Ride the lightning, let's go to crazy city
Toki ga coming, twenty one century
Matte ita new life
Toki ga kita yo coming century
Nemurenai crazy dance
Toki ga coming, twenty one century
Matte ita new life

Toki ga kita yo coming century
Nemurenai crazy dance

Overall Meaning

The song Theme of Coming Century by Japanese boy band Coming Century is an upbeat and energetic track that encourages listeners to live in the moment and enjoy the present while looking towards the future. The lyrics begin with a call to action to get ready and get crazy, as the "Tomaranai fire" (never-ending fire) inside the singer's heart causes shivers. The song invites the listener to embrace their own heartbeat and step into a new phase of life in the coming century.

The chorus emphasizes the importance of being present and enjoying life's crazy dance as time moves forward into the twenty-first century. The repetition of the phrase "Toki ga coming" reinforces this attitude, as the phrase translated to "Time is coming" or "The time has come". The lyrics also reference a desire to escape the mundane and experience life to the fullest, exemplified by lines like "Ride the lightning, let's go to crazy city" and "Roketto sutete uchuu yuuei" ("throw away the rocket, let's float in space"). The song repeatedly returns to the idea that each person has their own unique power, and that the coming century is the time to fully embrace that power and enjoy life's wild ride.
