DAOKO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kiss me like a friend
Say we'll never end
Searching for the colors
of the rainbow
Melody never say good-bye
I will be near you...
Hold me like a friend
Say we'll never end
Searching for the colors
of the rainbow
Melody never say good-bye
I will be near you...
Some people handle love and
never try
I can almost fly with your wings
to set me higher
Someday we'll see the world
And through the grey have faith
in our hands...
Hold me like a friend
Kiss me like a friend
Say we'll never end
Searching for the colors
of the rainbow
Melody never say good-bye
We'll always be forever friends
Hold me like a friend
Kiss me like a friend
Say we'll never end
Searching for the colors
of the rainbow
Melody never say good-bye
I will believe you...
When the river flows
Off to part us both
Only HEAVEN knows
I will be a boat to sail
around you
Melody never say good-bye
I will be near you...
Some people handle love and
never try
I can almost fly with your wings
To set me higher
One day we'll see the world
And through the grey have faith
in our hands...
...till the river ends
The lyrics to DAOKO's song Forever Friends speak of a deep connection between two people who embrace each other like friends. Through their words and actions of holding, kissing and promising never to let go, the pair is searching for the colors of the rainbow, which represent hope and happiness. The melody never says goodbye as the singer declares she will always be there for her friend. Though some people may not try or understand love, the singer feels almost invincible with her friend's support since they lift her up with their love. The lyrics culminate in a promise of forever friendship, no matter where the river of life takes them.
The song Forever Friends reflects on the theme of unbreakable, platonic love shared between friends. The lyrics convey a sense of empathy and connection, which is further amplified by the melancholic melody. The song tries to find hope in a world that is often harsh and divisive, and the lyrics urge listeners to hold onto love and friendship in difficult times. The song speaks volumes about the power of companionship, support, and understanding in shaping our lives, and how friendship can help us navigate through life's ups and downs.
