DASAI DAZAI (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer compares love to uncertain chances, like a 20% chance of rain. Whether to take a risk or not is up to the person, but confessing feelings feels almost impossible. He knows he might fail, but even in a losing situation, there’s a sense of personal choice in how he faces it and how he accepts the outcome.

[Pre-Chorus]
When trying and negotiating no longer works, it’s better to let the heart relax.

[Chorus]
He imagines life as a movie where the person he loves is the star. Even if he feels small and unnoticed now, he dreams of being close to them, like appearing right behind their name in the credits, quietly connected and important in their story.

[Post-Chorus]
He wants to impress and be recognized by the one he loves.

[Verse 2]
He talks about being unprepared and vulnerable, like a low phone battery, showing he’s ready to respond immediately if needed. He’s not worried about long-term survival but is focused on something urgent and deeply personal that he can’t share with anyone. His emotions are intense and pressing.

[Pre-Chorus]
He wonders if it’s possible to exchange every fulfilled wish he’s ever had, showing a desire for total connection and sharing with the loved one.

[Chorus]
He imagines a rare, miraculous moment of intimacy, saying that if it happened, it would feel so extraordinary that even generations would celebrate it. This feeling is pure excitement, rare and unforgettable.

[Post-Chorus]
Love is messy, emotional, brave, and sincere, mixing many intense feelings.

[Outro]
He reflects on how quickly people fall in love and how deeply it affects them. Love can leave lasting wounds that never fully heal, showing both its beauty and its pain, expressed in dramatic, almost literary style.
