I Wish
Digimon - Maeda Ai Lyrics

The song "I Wish" by Maeda Ai is a reflection on the hopeful desires of the singer. The opening lines "Hoshi ni negai wo, kaze ni puraido seta toki" meaning "I make my wish on the stars and set my pride on the wind blowing, the day today cannot be erased, surely I can see tomorrow." The singer is balancing their wish with their pride, a recognition that everything they are and have done is important and makes them who they are, but they still long for more. The first verse continues with a feeling of questioning, an appeal to the universe for answers to the experiences of life, "Why am I here? Please tell me now, everything that can be seen is not everything", indicating the singer's search for understanding and meaning.

The second verse is more personal, focusing on the emotions that the singer has in the present. Cold, shaking, and chilled to the bone, they wrap their arms up in their jacket, which has become transparent, almost like it has expired but has sparked hope. The singer remembers a time when they shone brightly, and now hopes to feel that way about the future. They express that the past can be remembered in the storm, and a hope that today's current struggles will be tomorrow's beauty.

Overall, "I Wish" is a song about searching for answers, hope, and coping with the struggles of life, all while balancing pride and desire.
