Masayume

The song 'Masayume' by Aa! delves into the themes of anticipation, longing, and the blurred lines between dreams and reality. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two individuals, a boy and a girl, who frequent a familiar place, perhaps a café or a meeting spot, where they anxiously await the arrival of someone significant. The repetition of the question 'Kuru no kana?' (Will they come?) highlights their uncertainty and restlessness, capturing the universal feeling of waiting for someone important to show up.

The song's title, 'Masayume,' translates to 'true dream' or 'prophetic dream,' which adds a layer of depth to the narrative. The characters in the song reflect on conversations they've had in their dreams, wondering if these dreams will come true. This is evident in lines like 'Yume de kaiwa shita / Tsudzuki ga chotto Chotto / Ki ni naru no' (We talked in a dream / The continuation is a bit / A bit concerning). The dream sequences serve as a metaphor for their hopes and desires, blurring the lines between what is real and what is imagined.

As the song progresses, the characters grapple with the reality that their dreams may remain just that—dreams. The repeated phrase 'Yume wa yume nano ne' (A dream is just a dream) signifies a resignation to the fact that their idealized encounters may never materialize. Despite this, there is a sense of acceptance and solace found in the dream world, as expressed in 'Aeru no nara / Sou ne / Yume de ii wa' (If we can meet / Well / It's fine in a dream). The song beautifully captures the bittersweet nature of longing and the comfort found in dreams, even when reality falls short.
