AGAIN, AGAIN (また同じ夢) - ORIVIN | Emotional Electronic

AGAIN, AGAIN (また同じ夢) is an emotional, introspective song about being stuck in the same cycles - the same dreams, the same doors, the same sky - even when you’re trying to change.

Lyrics:
I wake up in the static of another borrowed day
Coffee getting colder while my thoughts just fade away
Same four walls and the echoes of what I never said
Every little silence drawing circles in my head

また同じ夢から目を覚ます
(Mata onaji yume kara me o samasu, I wake from the same dream again)

I tell myself I’m changing but I’m walking the same line
Promise I’ll be different, then I run out of time

Again, again
I fall into the same night, again, again
また同じ場所へ戻ってく
(Mata onaji basho e modotteku, I end up in the same place again)
I break, I bend
I swear this is the last time, then it starts again
Again, again

Streetlights through the window paint a city on my floor
All the versions of me I’ve been hiding at the door
Scrolling through the timelines of the person I could be
But every open doorway feels too narrow for my feet

分かってるのに変われないまま
(Wakatteru noni kawarenai mama, I know, but I still can’t change)

I swear I’ve learned the lesson, then I trip on what I know
Always almost honest, then I let the moment go

Again, again
In the echo of my thoughts, again, again
同じ言い訳を繰り返す
(Onaji iiwake o kurikaesu, I repeat the same excuses)
I break, I bend
I draw another circle just to reach the end
Again, again

Maybe I’m a loop that never finds the end
Every scar a message I forgot to send
If I take one step outside this orbit I’m in now
Would I finally move on or just circle back somehow?

もう一度だけ変わりたいと願う
(Mō ichido dake kawaritai to negau, just once more, I wish I could change)

Again, again
I’m standing at the same door, again, again
まだ同じ空を見上げてる
(Mada onaji sora o miageteru, still looking up at the same sky)
I break, I mend
And I start where I thought it would end
Here I go again, again
Again, again
