Smiling
Yume Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels like the first time when I heard you sing to me
I'll always be there for you, and I'll always love you
And this is me smiling
Feels like my daydreams are all coming true
cuz everytime you're near me, I fall more in love with you
you always stood by my side, and I'll always thank you
come with me and baby we'll fly
never give and never say bye, hold on
X2
I should've known then, but I didn't know how
I didn't know when, but I'm feelin' it now
Fears held me back from my loves of before
But when I met you, my love was too hard to ignore
I'll always be there for you, and I'm yours forever
This is me smiling
come with me and baby we'll fly
never give and never say bye, hold on
x2
Musical break
come with me and baby we'll fly
never give and never say bye, hold on
X2
I should've known then, but I didn't know how
I didn't know when, but I'm feelin' it now

A common theme in 2kki is laughter. Wonder if Urostski has a fear or ridicule or embarrassment :0
Jugdjay
This could be tied to the Lonely Urotsuki Event. Especially what happens when you use the Glasses effect during that event. (You get to see the people's mocking smile)
The Glasses effect often shows us stuff that cannot be seen in a regular way, as if it improved Uro's sight. So maybe it's not a fear and it actually happened.
Cooler.
I think it has to do with the idea of people laughing to hide their pain and sorrow, hence the mask that they wear.

I actually have a theory about this. The laughing figure is an entity that represents all the people Urotsuki calls to for help ... But they never answer, they never help. They just laugh and ignore her. Leaving her utterly alone. :c
