Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Shota Shimizu's song "Madaowaranai" offer a message of hope and resilience. The singer expresses their desire to hold onto the present moment - to keep watching the stars in the sky, to cherish the friendships they have made, and to never give up in the face of challenges. The line "this world is shining" reminds us of the beauty and wonder that life can offer, even when things seem tough. The chorus ("It's not over yet, I don't want it to be over yet") is a plea to stay present and stay hopeful, no matter what the future holds.

The song also touches on themes of growth and self-discovery. The singer reflects on how they have changed over the past four years, and how their experiences in their new city have shaped them into a "grown-up." The lyrics suggest that even when life is uncertain or difficult, we can find strength in our own identity and self-expression ("always be proud, live as yourself"). The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody reinforce this message of positivity and perseverance, and encourage listeners to keep dancing even in the face of adversity.
