Itsumademo yumemisaseru mono
Kokoro no mannaka hiraita manma sa
Ai subeki kuukan ni me wo mukeru to wakaru hazu sa
Utsurikawari toorisugi yuku yo ni
Nagare makase dewa kanaekirenu musuu no negai zenbu kanaetai
Sou shite eta mono o anata to wakachiaitai

* Shinjitsu wa dokoka kore dake oikaketemo
kotae de nai kono mondai no sekai
Shinjiru ka iya ka sore dake no toikake

(CRY) kimi ni nara toberu hazu sa SKY

Ima made ni nai muri na nandai kakan ni TRY

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of MINMI's song "South Orange" speak about a world full of dreams and hopes. The opening lines emphasize the power of imagination, with the phrase "Itsumademo yumemisaseru mono" translating to "Something that can always make me dream." The following lines describe the feeling of opening one's heart to a loved one and the desire to share emotions with the people who matter most. The lyrics go on to acknowledge the fleeting nature of time and the inability to achieve every wish but express the desire to try to fulfill as many as possible. The chorus suggests that even in a world full of uncertainty and problems, one can find the strength to keep moving forward, never giving up on their dreams.


Throughout the song, MINMI employs poetic yet accessible language that invites multiple interpretations. The repeated phrase "Shinjitsu wa dokoka kore dake oikaketemo" means "No matter how much we chase after the truth," followed by "kotae de nai kono mondai no sekai" or "We cannot find the answers in this world of questions." This line can be interpreted in several ways, including questioning the meaning of existence and the human struggle to find purpose. At the same time, the chorus encourages the listener to keep trying, to keep hoping, and to keep crying if necessary, underlining the message of perseverance and resilience.

オレンジ色の外灯 連れてって楽しい場所
あの子も来てるかなって 気になってあれからずっと
友達でいたいと思ってたのは まちがいと
伝えるチャンスは最後ラストナイト

遠い海でのできごと
初めて出会った場所
人だかり煙の香りの中探すアナタの姿

夜風が運ぶ音にゆれて アナタはどこにいるの?
もう会えないかもしれないから 今スナオになりたい
プライドもとまどいも捨てて スキですと伝えたい
溢れる気持ち勇気づけて あなたをもっと知りたい

まるで時が止まった 振り返るとあの子だった
何も知らないの たった 何回かしか会ってないけど
いつも楽しく笑いあったりしてたのに気まずくなった
気付く少し遅かった アナタが

あの日肩に置いた手ほどいたのは
イヤだった訳じゃないのただ よりそったまま いる程
余裕さえなかったの

午前二時過ぎ夜空の下 きっと今なら言える
瞳には無数の光とあなたしか写らない
もう一度会いたい人だから ねぇ約束しようよ
気付いた気持ち抱きしめたまま あなたにそっとふれたい

明日の今頃はもう あたし空の上
どうしたら近付けの? もっと…
確かめあうことも時は許さず
想いつのらせたまま…

夜風が運ぶ音にゆれて アナタはどこにいるの?
もう会えないかもしれないから 今スナオになりたい
プライドもとまどいも捨てて スキですと伝えたい
思い出を全て 胸につめて あなたのこと想ってる
