BAKA (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
The chorus shows him enjoying a wild night in Tokyo, partying and drinking, feeling alive and noticed by everyone around him. He’s having fun, spending freely, and living in the moment, but at the same time, there’s a sense of emptiness. The smiles he shows aren’t fully real—they’re more like a mask for others to see. Even though people admire him and money flows easily, it can feel kind of meaningless, almost foolish. He’s present in the scene but still distant inside, standing apart and observing everything while the world around him keeps moving and reacting to his energy.

[Verse 1]
In this part, he’s talking about being in Tokyo and connecting with people, inviting them to reach out if they’re around. He mixes playfulness and curiosity, joking about finding a Japanese partner and referencing pop culture for fun. As he walks through the city, he notices small details and experiences some nervous energy, feeling overwhelmed by what he’s seen. He’s confident in his skills and selective about who he associates with, ignoring competition or unnecessary drama. There’s pride in his style, wealth, and status, like diamonds shining and leaving an impression on others. At the same time, he remains careful about genuine connections, showing a mix of excitement, caution, and awareness in his urban adventures.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats his nightlife experience, showing how thrilling yet shallow it can feel. He enjoys the attention, drinks, and fast lifestyle, but recognizes that the smiles he gives aren’t fully authentic—they’re just a performance. Money comes easily, yet it doesn’t bring real happiness or closeness. Even though people around him seem impressed, he remains emotionally distant, standing apart from the excitement. The repetition emphasizes the mix of thrill and emptiness, showing that even in the middle of fun and indulgence, there’s a sense of observing life from the outside rather than fully living it.

[Verse 2]
Here, he contrasts cuteness and sweetness with a hidden edge, warning that appearances can be deceiving. He talks about being clever and effective, offering hospitality and charm, while balancing a busy life with responsibilities and status. He imagines a comfortable, happy life with a devoted partner, highlighting simple domestic joys like being walked to the door by his husband. There’s humor in exaggerating luck and devotion, but also pride in living an idealized life. It’s about enjoying both fun and comfort, showing that personal connections and daily routines can be just as valuable as nightlife and excitement.

[Chorus]
The final chorus reinforces the mix of celebration and emptiness. Nights out in Tokyo are exciting, with people noticing him and money flowing freely, but his smiles remain a performance rather than true expressions. He’s admired and envied, yet feels emotionally detached, standing apart from the fun around him. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes this duality—thrill and indulgence paired with distance and reflection. It shows that even in the middle of all the excitement and admiration, there’s a quiet, observant side of him that doesn’t fully participate in the illusions others see.
