Never end
Iri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
ここが始まり 特別なものは何もいらない
もう never end
異空間 始まり 特別なものは何もいらない
もう never end
ここが始まり 特別なものは何もいらない
もう never end
異空間 始まり 特別なものは何もいらない
Never end
ここが始まり 特別なものは何もいらない
もう never end
異空間 始まり 特別なものは何もいらない
もう never end
ここが始まり 特別なものは何もいらない
もう never end
異空間 始まり 特別なものは何もいらない no more
Imagination 高鳴る mind
見たことない光眺めて paint
行方知れてきた trip はもうやだ
自作自演ばっか もっぱら
What your dream? 揺らいだ
五年前ならば淡々とこなせた
もっと自由に もっと自由に
嘘みたいに高い私有地
Sunset 立ち込め白い息吐き捨て
甘すぎる mellow rain 酔いどれて溶けて
ふとよぎる君の目 くだらない heart break
なだめてその手で すり抜け笑うだけ
冷めた金曜 後残りは
いつも通りこう揺れてさ
自由に もっと自由に
嘘みたいに 高い自由地
Never end
ここが始まり 特別なものは何もいらない
もう never end
異空間 始まり 特別なものは何もいらない
もう never end
ここが始まり 特別なものは何もいらない
もう never end
異空間 始まり 特別なものは何もいらない no more
The lyrics of "Never end" by Iri speak about a sense of continuation and infinity in a space where nothing special is needed. The repetition of phrases like "ここが始まり" (koko ga hajimari - "this is the beginning") and "特別なものは何もいらない" (tokubetsu na mono wa nanimo iranai - "nothing special is needed") emphasizes a cyclical nature, suggesting that this place or state of being is perpetual and ongoing. The phrase "もう never end" reinforces the idea that this cycle will not stop.
The mention of "異空間" (ikukan - "different space") adds a layer of otherworldliness or a sense of being in a unique and unfamiliar setting. It conveys a feeling of not needing anything extraordinary in this space, as if the simplicity and essence of the moment itself are enough to sustain the eternity implied by "never end."
The lyrics then delve into themes of imagination, introspection, and personal growth. The lines "What your dream? 揺らいだ" (What is your dream? Wavered) and "もっと自由に" (motto jiyuu ni - "more freely") suggest a struggle with self-expression and a desire for greater freedom. The imagery of a trip where the destination is unknown ("行方知れてきた trip はもうやだ") adds to the sense of uncertainty and adventure in pursuing one's dreams or desires.
The juxtaposition of natural elements like sunset, white breath, mellow rain, and personal reflections hint at a complex emotional landscape. The mention of a bittersweet memory or experience ("君の目 くだらない heart break") and the desire to transcend or move beyond it ("なだめてその手で すり抜け笑うだけ") encapsulate a mix of nostalgia, yearning, and resilience in the face of challenges.
Ultimately, the repeated refrain of "Never end" serves as a mantra affirming the cyclical nature of existence and the idea that beginnings and endings are intertwined in an eternal loop. The longing for freedom and the acceptance of both the ordinary and the extraordinary in this endless space create a sense of surrender to the unknown and an appreciation for the perpetual journey of self-discovery and growth.
