わかんないよ"ユメ"とか...
つまんないよ"泣ク"とか...
進んでんだ時間は
行けば分かるでしょ?

輝く光遮る
ジャマな雲だってはらう風になるよ!

あふれだしたこの気持ちは
空を切るほど加速する
あの雲間突き抜けて越えるその場所は
幼い頃夢みた星
飛行機雲に馳せるこの想い乗せて
歌い続けるの

怖いって言えない
一人部屋でfly
でも逃げ出さない
星に誓うmind

眠れない夜零した涙はshooting star
明日(あす)は輝くよ!

あふれだしたこの気持ちで
空のキャンバス染めてゆく
幼い日見上げた高い高い蒼
今夜きっと煌めくから
誰にも負けない夢描くよ
見てて! このトキメキ

あふれだしたこの気持ちは
空を切るほど加速する
あの雲間突き抜けて越えるその場所は
幼い頃夢みた星

飛行機雲に馳せるこの想い乗せて
歌い続けるの

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Over ride" by Ray explore the concept of chasing one's dreams, no matter how impossible or difficult they may seem. The opening lines "I don't understand 'dreams'" and "crying is boring" suggest a certain weariness with common notions of success and emotion, but the chorus reveals an uncontainable feeling of hope and ambition. The lines "this feeling that overflowed / accelerates to cut through the sky" and "surpassing that place where I soared through the clouds as a child" speak to the power of nostalgia and memory in driving one's resolve to achieve something great.

The imagery of the sky and stars throughout the song adds to its dreamy quality and conveys a sense of vast possibility. The idea of "shooting stars" in the second verse underscores the idea that success is possible but requires taking risks and not giving up hope. The repetition of the line "this feeling that overflowed" in the final stanza solidifies the idea that the singer's determination cannot be contained or suppressed.

Overall, the lyrics of "Over ride" encourage an embrace of one's dreams and aspirations, even in the face of fear and uncertainty. It is a song about resilience and hope, and the importance of keeping one's eyes on the sky and reaching for the stars.
