No-Yes (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro sets the tone for the song, portraying a sense of resignation and weariness. The phrase “Stand By Me” initially conveys the desire for support, but the following lines subvert this expectation by suggesting that relying on others can actually weaken one’s resolve. The repetition of “Bye Bye” reinforces the feeling of departure or loss, while the assertion that even mundane days feel like lies indicates a pervasive sense of disillusionment.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, the singer reflects on the dichotomy of choices, emphasizing the difficulty in navigating life’s complexities. The lines “Either Yes or No, If you say it, it will say no” suggest a sense of inevitability or futility in decision-making. The admission of embellishing stories for allure reveals a struggle with authenticity, while the mention of “dualism” hints at a deeper philosophical conflict. Despite attempts to understand, the narrator feels isolated and wonders if loneliness is simply an inherent aspect of existence.

[Chorus]
The chorus encapsulates the conflicting emotions of the narrator. Despite feeling weakened by the phrase “Stand By Me,” they acknowledge the persistence of this sentiment even as life feels stagnant and unchanging. The repetition of “Bye Bye” reinforces the sense of departure or loss, while the reflection in the mirror symbolizes an internal struggle with self-perception and emotional overflow, despite outward attempts to appear strong.

[Verse 2]
Here, the singer reminisces about their past, specifically their 20s, evoking a mix of nostalgia and frustration. The desire to scream suggests pent-up emotions and unresolved issues from that period. The mention of a “16℃ pool” may symbolize a moment of vulnerability or discomfort. Despite attempts to move forward, memories linger, and the narrator grapples with the consequences of their actions, including regret over hurtful words spoken.

[Chorus]
Similar to the first chorus, this repetition emphasizes the enduring nature of the narrator’s struggles with self-perception and emotional vulnerability. Despite feeling drained by the expectation of support, they recognize the constancy of this need, even as life remains stagnant and unchanged.

[Bridge]
The bridge introduces a speculative tone, questioning the potential outcomes of different choices. The reference to “world line” hints at the idea of alternate realities or paths not taken. Despite the uncertainty, familiar surroundings take on a new perspective, suggesting a shift in perception influenced by past experiences. Ultimately, the narrator assigns blame for their current predicament, highlighting a sense of resignation and victimhood.

[Chorus]
The final chorus echoes the earlier sentiments, emphasizing the persistence of the narrator’s emotional struggles and the ongoing need for support despite feelings of weakness and disillusionment. The repetition of “Stand by me” reinforces the plea for understanding and companionship amidst life’s uncertainties.
