Lyrics

[Intro]
​Every day, Every heart​​
Ri-La-Ru-Ra​
Don’t you hear the Ringing?​
Ri-La-Ru-Ra-Ra-Ra

samenai yume ni Ri-La-Ru-Ra​ ​​
uzuku tsuki Ri-La-Ru-Ra-Ra-Ra​

[Verse 1]
​ikudo, sakende namidashite mo
sono te wa kuu o kiri
sekai wa kuchiru​
​dare mo inai toki no hate

[Chorus]
​yagate kowareyuku utsutsu no rondo ni​
amaku izanawarete me o tojita
soshite mouichido anata ni aitai​
​itsuka boukyaku e to somaru sono hi ni

[Verse 2]
The time flows cruelly​
​unchanging inhumanity​
We've reached the point of no return​
​Don't know how, how we should do.

sore wa dare ni demo hitoshiku furisosogu​
​zankokuna hodo no yasuragi to sureba

[Pre-Chorus]
​ukeirete ukeirete​ ​​
owari e to susumu hari no oto​ ​​
​sou, motometeru motometeru​ ​​
​arishi hi no omokage o​

[Chorus]
​sarani osoikuru ruten wa bougyaku​ ​​
​keshite aragaenu hitsuzen ni​ ​​
​izure otozureru sukui wa kuuhaku​ ​​
mata wa sore sae mo unmei​ ​​

[Post-Chorus]
subete wa utsurou mujouna mujou​ ​​
​surudoku kiba o muki​ ​​
​yasashiku mushibamu kokukoku to kakujitsu ni​ ​​

​Life and death at every tick.​ ​​
Humanity clings to the past and nostalgia​ ​​
​Will they ever escape from the chains of time?​ ​​
​Only the clock will tell.​ ​​

[Chorus]
​yagate kowareyuku utsutsu no rondo ni​
amaku izanawarete me o tojita
sarani osoikuru ruten wa bougyaku​ ​​
​keshite aragaenu hitsuzen ni sae kishikan​ ​​
​itsuka boukyaku e to somaru sono hi ni​ ​​

[Outro]
​Every day, Every heart​​
Ri-La-Ru-Ra​
Don’t you hear the Ringing?​
Ri-La-Ru-Ra-Ra-Ra

[Intro]
​Every day, Every heart​​
Ri-La-Ru-Ra​
Don’t you hear the Ringing?​
Ri-La-Ru-Ra-Ra-Ra

​In this neverending dream Ri-La-Ru-Ra​ ​​
The moon throbbing Ri-La-Ru-Ra​ ​​

[Verse 1]
No matter how much I cry and scream​ ​​
My hands only find nothingness​ ​​
​The world withers away​ ​​
No one remains at the end of time​ ​​

[Chorus]
The rondo of this slowly collapsing reality
Sweetly drew me in, and I closed my eyes
I want to see you once again
On the day it falls into oblivion

[Verse 2]
The time flows cruelly​
​unchanging inhumanity​
We've reached the point of no return​
​Don't know how, how we should do.

​It falls alike on all who are​ ​​
​A tranquility which seems almost cruel​ ​​

[Pre-Chorus]
Accept it, accept it​ ​​
The ticking of the hands​, ​as they march to the end​ ​​
Yes, I seek it, I seek it​ ​​
The memory of the days when things were​ ​​

[Chorus]
The tyranny of constant change​ ​​never ceases its assault​ ​​
There is no way to resist the inevitable​ ​​
​The only salvation that will​ ​eventually come is emptiness​ ​​
And even that is... destined

[Post-Chorus]
Everything fades away, transience is intransigent​
Baring its sharp fangs​
Gently gnawing, moment by moment,​ ​slowly but surely​ ​​

​Life and death at every tick.​ ​​
Humanity clings to the past and nostalgia​ ​​
​Will they ever escape from the chains of time?​ ​​
​Only the clock will tell.​ ​​

[Chorus]
The rondo of this slowly collapsing reality
Sweetly drew me in, and I closed my eyes
The tyranny of constant change​ ​​never ceases its assault
There is no way to resist the inevitable,​ ​​and that is déjà vu​ ​​
On the day it falls into oblivion​ ​​

[Outro]
​Every day, Every heart​​
Ri-La-Ru-Ra​
Don’t you hear the Ringing?​
Ri-La-Ru-Ra-Ra-Ra

Trivia

  • Kronii tried to upload the music video earlier, but her PC broke.[1]
  • The backing track for Daydream was chosen by Kronii from a list of tracks.[1]
  • The light pillar/streaking design in the MV (i.e. the lines at 0:07) represents the different timelines managed by Kronii[2]
    • LUMINA was inspired by watching the television series Loki, which involves the titular character, the Norse god Loki, being prosecuted for crimes against the timeline.[2]
  • The glowing text written in cursive in the MV represents LUMINA's interpretation of the Hololive English lore.[2]
    • The text is illegible, even to Kronii[2]
  • LUMINA spent 60 hours total on the MV, including rendering the project at 4K resolution.[2]
    • LUMINA designed every scene to be usable as a desktop wallpaper.[2]
  • LUMINA planned to incorporate Kronii's loading and outro screens, but the files were corrupted which prevented her from doing so.[2]
  • Daydream was originally titled Nightmare, however Kronii's manager thought the song sounded more like a daydream so Kronii agreed to change the song title. Kronii thinks the song is "too mystical" to be titled Nightmare.[2]
  • Kronii specifically asked for the clock ticks and monologue in Daydream.[3]
