Odd Future

Uverworld's 'Odd Future' is a song that encapsulates the excitement and uncertainty of forging one's path in life. The lyrics convey a sense of rebellion against the preordained and a celebration of individuality. The opening lines set the tone with a call to readiness and excitement, suggesting a journey or challenge ahead.

The song speaks to the experience of living in the moment and enjoying contradictions, as indicated by the lyrics that mention enjoying the paradoxes of life with ease. The notion of 'one step' repeated in the song implies taking action, even if it means being at the bottom or struggling. The phrase 'Odd future' itself suggests an acceptance of a future that is unconventional and unpredictable. The lyrics also touch upon the theme of self-identity, with references to a past filled with mistakes ('black history') and the struggle to find one's true purpose, even lying to oneself about not having any aspirations.

'I keep my ideals' signifies holding onto one's beliefs and dreams, despite the risks involved. The song encourages listeners to overwrite the 'new days' with their actions and to keep moving forward, breaking through barriers. The energy of the song is about not being afraid to stand out and to embrace the unique possibilities that lie ahead, even if they deviate from societal norms or expectations.
