Eta
Dj Ryow • From “It Was All a Dream”
Eta Lyrics Meaning Dj Ryow | It Was All a Dream
C.O.S.A. drafts a line that reads, ‘In the mud, the lotus blooms’, which means hope rises from decay. The poet then describes a river of plastic trash flowing across a neon screen, a stark visual of modern waste. The author also notes that a single flower can shine brighter than the stars, a concrete contrast to empty night.
Moshi watashi ga kamisama naraIf I were God,
Kimi ni okuru torofiithe trophy I’d send to you,
Made of all the diamonds on earthwould be made of all the diamonds on earth.
Kono tokai de saku hana wa fumare tsuyoi kaIs the flower blooming in this city strong enough to survive being stepped on?
Umekomareta purasutikkuBuried in plastic,
Gamen nagareru bs no kawaa river of ‘BS’ flows across the screen.
Imiteeshon de ricchiRich with imitations,
I don’t f# with that s#I don’t mess with that sh#t.
I only vibe with youI only vibe with you,
