If a second life comes to me
A life different from now
Will I be by your side?
Will you be by my side?
I imagine this
Though it’s just a passing joke
Will you believe me?

Though it’s a silly imagination
On a day left alone
I take steps towards you again
When my face appears in your eyes
As if the world stops, I hold you
If a second life comes to me
I might live and breathe differently
In the streets passing by unknowingly

May we remember each other
In the next life, then to you
We’re already beautiful
The good thing about us

Gazing eyes, hand gestures
Even if a second life
Different from now comes
One thing I can say
Is that I’ll be by your side

Being forgotten is a common thing
Why are those common things
Not easy for me at all?

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation

The lyrics center around a touching and imaginative contemplate of reincarnation, exploring whether two lovers would still find each other in a completely different existence. Even if they live unfamiliar lives and pass by as strangers on the street, the speaker intensely wishes for a mutual remembrance that transcends time. Ultimately, it delivers an unwavering commitment to always walk back toward the loved one, illustrating a pure and immortal devotion that refuses to let the bond be erased by a fated separation.
