I SAY SAYONARA Ah!
I SAY SAYONARA Ah!
I SAY SAYONARA I SAY BYE
Deep Breath 今君とのサヨナラ
Deep Breath 深く息をする

ああ好きだったのは本当?
ああふられたことも本当?
きっと嘘よ何もかも
だって私こんなに綺麗
君なんか...。

Overall Meaning

Ribbon's song "Deep Breath" is about moving on and saying goodbye to a past love. The chorus repeats "I say sayonara, ah!" which translates to "I say goodbye" in English. The singer is taking a deep breath and preparing herself to say goodbye to her ex-lover. She is determined not to cry and to appear strong, even though the separation is difficult.

The verses of the song are directed at the ex-lover. The singer questions whether their relationship was real ("Were your feelings for me true?"), and wonders if she was just a pretty face to him ("After all, I am so beautiful, and you..."). She also comments on his habits, asking if he's mimicking someone else's behavior. Ultimately, the singer comes to the conclusion that the relationship is over and she needs to move on.

The song has a melancholic tone, conveying the sadness and difficulty of saying goodbye to a past love. The deep breaths throughout the song symbolize the singer trying to gather strength and move forward.
