ドライフラワー (Dried Flower) (English translation)

優里 (Yuuri) 壱 (Ichi) English

Verse 1

Probably, it doesn't have to be meWe were two people with no room to breatheBefore I knew it, we were always fightingI'm sorry

Verse 2

I've been meaning to talk about this for so longI'm sure we just don't work togetherIn a room with only the two of usYou were always the one doing all the talking

Pre-Chorus

If we ever meet somewhere somedayWill you laugh about today?I can't even explain the reason properlyI hate crying after you fall asleep

Chorus

Your voice, your face, even your awkward sidesI don't hate any of it, not at allLike a dried flowerOur days together tooWill surely, surely, surely, surelyFade in color

Verse 3

Probably, it's better it wasn't youI won't be hurt anymoreWords like "it's always me"Are gone now

Verse 4

Even such a sad breakupTime makes you forgetYou standing next to someone newI wonder if you're really doing okay

Pre-Chorus

I don't even want to see your face anymorePlease don't contact me out of the blueYou haven't changed, still so convenientBut I can't ignore it, so I reply a little again

Chorus

Your voice, your face, even your awkward sidesI probably still don't hate themLike a dried flowerAs time passesWill surely, surely, surely, surelyFade in color

Bridge

Monsters sway in the moonlightI must be losing it tooColors float in the darknessRed, yellow, blue rising in my chestI keep calling your nameThe feeling of love blooms again

Chorus

Your voice, your face, even your awkward sidesI hate all of it, I really doA flower that hasn't withered yetI'll place it beside youAnd hold it, hold it, hold it, hold itForever

Outro

Ah-ah, ah-ah
What the song means

A bittersweet reflection on a failed relationship where the narrator struggles with lingering feelings despite acknowledging incompatibility. Like a dried flower losing its color over time, the love gradually fades, yet memories and emotions persist, creating an internal conflict between wanting to move on and being unable to let go.
