街はまだ夜明けを知らずに yeah
遊戯な遊戯な friday
優雅な優雅な舞で
大それた 話で

"Irī's song Coaster" is a song that talks about the ups and downs of life, and the need to enjoy every moment with the people we love, because one never knows when it will all come crashing down. The song starts off by talking about the fear that comes with taking a risk and how this fear can make one's steps timid, but even with this fear, the night is still not over. Friday nights are meant for play and dance, but even amidst all the fun, one can still lose their breath trying to be with the one they love. The chorus talks about how life is like a roller coaster full of twists and turns, and how it is important to enjoy the slow moments and the fast moments alike.
The lyrics then move on to tell us how important it is to be ourselves and to live life to the fullest. The artist states that we should be able to freely express ourselves with sharp words, but also be able to show love to others. It is all about balance, and the artist hints that living life authentically can give one the freedom to be in control. The song also touches on societal expectations, and how tiresome it can be to constantly compare oneself to others. The artist then ends the song by reminding us that the present moment is not meant to be wasted, but to be embraced and enjoyed.
