Overall Meaning

The Japanese lyrics for Triceratops's song Pretty Wings convey a message of wanting to share love and the joy of living with someone, even if that means letting them go. The lines, "I want to convey my love to you, so you can be free. Dreams are meant to come true, right?" suggest a desire to see the person they love pursue their dreams and experience the happiness of living to the fullest. The singer also acknowledges that, even if they're not there, the person they love will find joy in life elsewhere.

In the chorus, the singer questions if their fate is predetermined or if they have the power to shape their own destiny. They also express a desire to see the person they love spread their wings and explore the world, even if it means leaving them behind. The song ends with the line, "Someone's offering a voice to someone. It's like you can hear it from far away," suggesting that the singer believes in the power of music to connect people, even when they're physically apart.
