‘Pookie Requiem’ is a song written and sung by Aimer, a Japanese singer-songwriter. The song was released in the album Sun Dance in 2019. The rhythm of the song has eerie tunes, and the lyrics, also written by herself, contain deep meanings about parting with someone you love & introspections on love as well as life. The tone of the singer’s voice combined with this track’s slow pace made it all the more melancholic & added fuel to its intense hue.
It highlights the complexity of human emotions on the one hand while portraying sadness very straightforwardly on the other. It is a masterpiece where she skillfully integrates poetic lyrics with beautiful music that creates an atmosphere so cozy that we can’t help but immerse ourselves in her world.

Pookie Requiem Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I need to let you go (Hmm)
I’m hard to get a hold of
I’ll say one thing
My requiem of a dream
To whatever bitch you got in Bushwick
Cropping t-shirts showing midriff
Got black lipstick, eyebrow bleachin’
Pussy leakin’, mood board makin’
Stole my memes, and bump my music
[Chorus]
I hope you’re happy
I hope you’re happy
Got you a mini-me
Bet she meets ya mom
Bet y’all get a dog and name it after me, hey, Pookie
[Post-Chorus]
In an alternate reality
I was a true thing, not your new thing
My requiem of a dream
My requiem of a dream
Oh, girl
[Verse 2]
I got me a real snotty nose
From fuckin’ with these real snotty hoes
And I’ve accepted that’s how life goes
One moment you’re on top
And the next you’re steppin’ into dog shit in your brand new fazos (Fuck it)
Yeah, I’ma wreck up on my dreams
Yeah, I’m a wreck
Oh, Pookie
[Chorus]
I hope you’re happy
I hope you’re happy
Got you a mini-me
Bet she meets ya mom
Bet y’all get a dog and name it after me, hey, Pookie
[Post-Chorus]
In an alternate reality
I was a true thing, not your new thing
My requiem of a dream
My requiem of a dream
Oh, girl
[Outro]
(I, I can’t)
(Fuck, I can’t even fucking breathe)
