ever free
Takanori Nishikawa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

恋に恋した気持ち無くしちゃって
誰かに聞いてみる
そいでため息まじりに言いました
"愛っていくらでしょう?"
夢に夢見た季節忘れちゃって
あの子に聞いてみる
すると微笑むあなたは言いました
"夢って食べれるの?"

暮れゆく日々眺めてたら
色褪せた sunny days
消えてゆく最初のメロディー
何処でナクシタのだろう?

デタラメと呼ばれた君の夢の
続きはまだ胸の中で震えてる
Ever free 崩れそうな君のストーリー
描ければ見えるのか dream?

Ever free
何処に free?
Ever free

割れた太陽みたいに
飛び散った日々も
消えてゆく最初のメモリー
何処へ行きたいのだろう?

デタラメと呼ばれた君の自由の
翼はまだ閉じたままで眠ってる
Ever free この夜を突き抜けて
目覚めれば飛べるのか free に?

Ever free
何処に free?
Ever free

(Fu, fu ever free)
(Fu, fu ever free)

(Fu, fu ever free)
(Fu, fu ever free in your sight)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Takanori Nishikawa's song ever free explore themes of lost love, dreams, and freedom. The opening lines express the feeling of losing one's desire for love, before questioning the value of love itself. The following lines evoke a sense of nostalgia for past dreams, and contrast with the present reality in which these dreams have been forgotten. The line "夢って食べれるの?" ("Can you eat dreams?") serves as a metaphor for the intangible and unrealistic nature of youthful aspirations.

The second verse further explores the concept of lost memories, contrasting the present with the "sunny days" of the past. The singer searches for the melody of their lost memories, questioning where it disappeared to. The chorus "Ever free" then repeats, with the meaning of this phrase left open to interpretation. It may represent a longing for freedom or a willingness to let go of the past.

The final verse introduces the character of "you", who is described as having a dream that was once dismissed as "デタラメ" ("nonsense"). The singer then imagines that this dream is still alive and "trembling" within "your" heart. The song ends with a question about whether one can truly fly free, suggesting that the possibility of freedom lies within oneself.
