Wonderful Wonder

Edoga Sullivan's song 'Wonderful Wonder' delves into the complexities and wonders of youthful love and relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the confusion and excitement that come with trying to understand someone special. The opening lines, 'わかんないことおおすぎ (わかろうとしてるじてんのせんせ) きみのことばむずかしい きみのみりょくもワンダーランド,' highlight the speaker's struggle to comprehend the words and charms of their love interest, likening the experience to a Wonderland filled with mystery and allure.

The song captures the innocence and intensity of young love, with metaphors like lending an eraser or pen to initiate conversations, symbolizing the small yet significant gestures that bring people closer. The recurring theme of a countdown starting from a hundred, 'ひゃっくからはじまるカウント きみにちかづけるリミット,' represents the urgency and limited time the speaker feels to express their feelings and deepen their connection. This sense of urgency is further emphasized by the lines, 'もうあともどりなんてできない,' indicating that there's no turning back once the feelings have been set in motion.

The chorus, with its repetitive 'ワンダーワンダーワンダフルワンダ,' encapsulates the wonder and complexity of the relationship. The song also references 'ふしぎのくにのありす (Alice in Wonderland),' drawing a parallel between the fantastical, unpredictable nature of Wonderland and the speaker's romantic journey. The playful yet determined tone of the lyrics, combined with the upbeat tempo, reflects the exhilarating and sometimes bewildering experience of young love, where every moment feels like a new adventure.
