Vava • From “VVARP”
VVARP’s Endless Dreams (feat. tofubeats) Japanese Lyrics English Translation
The poet mentions ‘clenching my teeth, searching for a better way,’ a line that captures the struggle and determination behind the pursuit of dreams. From referencing ‘Gin and Juice’ to imagining the Big Dipper on an iPhone, the songwriter uses everyday moments to anchor the song’s dreamlike narrative. Each verse builds on the idea that even reality might just be another illusion.
