Never Grow Up

CHANMINA's song 'Never Grow Up' delves into the complexities of a relationship that oscillates between deep love and inevitable separation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a long, shared journey between two people who have created their own definition of love. The opening lines, '何から話せばいい 長い長いour story,' set the stage for a narrative that is both nostalgic and bittersweet. The singer acknowledges the end of this chapter with gratitude, 'ありがとう愛してた,' expressing a deep appreciation for the love they once shared.

The song explores the theme of emotional immaturity, symbolized by the repeated phrase 'we never never grow up.' This idea is further emphasized through metaphors like '狂わせた時計と壊れたコンパスが 私たちを大人にさせない,' suggesting that their broken sense of time and direction prevents them from maturing. The relationship is depicted as a cycle of coming together and drifting apart, 'ねえ君が好きって again and again また離れて again and again,' highlighting the repetitive nature of their love and separation.

Despite the evident strain and the realization that their love is '歪み始めていた,' the singer finds it hard to let go. The lyrics '行かないでって again and again もう消えてって again and again' capture the conflicting emotions of wanting to hold on and the need to move on. The song concludes with a poignant acceptance of the end, '長かったね 愛してたよね もう終わりにしよう,' while still cherishing the memories of their time together. The final farewell, 'いつもとは違うホントのホントの さよならをしよう,' signifies a true and heartfelt goodbye, under the beautiful moonlit sky, '月が綺麗だね.'
