many comments are relating this to sleep paralysis, but I have anxiety dissorder and I can relate to these lyrics during my panic attacks. Honestly I'm sure that this song is meant to be interperreted in any way
The “hiffu hihifuffu” is a onomatopoeia for breathing. I’m guessing that the person who wears a mask had a hard time breathing or it could be an anxiety attack.
This song is about what it's like to have an anxiety attack. The mouths are representations of the negative thoughts she has about herself (which is why they say "BAKA"). The pain comes from the attack itself, since hyperventilating for a few minutes makes people very light headed. It can make people feel like they're floating and/or that they're dying. The scary figure comes from paranoia that anxious people have, they worry about anything and everything that could hurt them. The double mouths dancing at the end could represent that she's at a point in her attack that she can't think rationally at all anymore, and that's why she's not being shown. But meh, this is just coming from someone who has attacks, so I might be biased.
Mariah H. I had my first attack at age eight on Lift Bridge in Duluth Minnesota, I was looking down at the water below me, and there was a gust of wind and the bridge shuddered and I screamed and I thought "IF I DIE ANYWAYS, LET ME DIE NOW" and I started to climb the edge and my dad grabbed me and I walked the rest of the bridge and I collapsed on the shore and then my dad told me some great news; We'd have to go back over the bridge and I just collapsed on the bridge and I felt sick and I LITERALLY crawled the rest of the way across...
I used to have respiratory problems when I younger. Hyperventilation was the more uncommon one to happen, but the three times it did happen in my childhood is still fresh in my memory. I remember how much it hurt to breath slowly, and how my sobbing made it worse. I'm glad I don't get those too much anymore :D
I had respiratory problems too as a child. I would always wake up in the middle of the night (even now) but when I had a sleep study done i found that I had a sleep disorder so. That’s why I have trouble going to sleep and staying asleep.
Oh I kinda relate, my respiratory system also wasn't the best and every time I started crying/laughing/running/overall getting excited, even for a short time, I couldn't breathe and that was pretty damn scary and upsetting
Choir kid here! There's some areas where you can breathe in, you just gotta know when to strategically take breaths in-between choruses and phrases and such :)
The only difference is the fact they said "にの"(ni no) instead of "二" (Ni) so I guess that's why people assumed they were counting because of the similar like pronouncing words.
And since four is a number that can be misunderstood, because if you say it like "shi", it will have the same sound the kanji for "death" has, you'll see that the girl killed herself in the end of the song This song was made from a genius of metaphors lol
honestly, the timing for the "breath in/breath out" parts are reminiscent of the "in 4, hold 4, out 4" and "in 4, hold 7, out 8" breathing exercises people with anxiety are often advised to use during a panic attack
This song makes me feel like when I’m very anxious at night and I hear commotion outside. I don’t live in the best of neighborhoods so it happens often and I still get anxious. I end up making up bad events in my head that keep me awake and make me panic. That’s how I interpreted this song, as just horrible anxiety.
i know that the general consensus is that this is about an anxiety/panic attack but this resonates SO hard with me as someone with asthma... the struggle to sleep because you can't breathe, all your other senses heightened as a result (the part about becoming zombies), the sirens could easily be an ambulance, lack of oxygen can cause hallucinations (like the grim reaper), and many people have died very slow miserable deaths due to asthma attacks. its rough. 100000/10 nashimoto song
My belief from the word hyperventilation is that this girl was hyperventilating and was trying to relax but in the end she couldn't stop herself. The dancing parts also meant she was starting to shake because of her lack of carbon dioxide apparently. She was tired do to her body working hard and I am guessing she died in thee end from exhaustion. Which explains the ending IT HURTS.
I heard another version of this song somewhere else, and I always thought the part where she says "I have to die like this" was actually counting because it almost sounds like the Japanese words for 1, 2, and 3.
You know what I find interesting? After listening to this for a while the "hifu" kind of sounds like the German word "Hilfe" to me, which means "help" btw. >_> I don't know maybe just paranoia.
Am I the only one who really likes Nashimoto-P's art style? It's so trippy, and fits so well with their music. For me it all has a very isolated and strange vibe, and the art goes perfectly with that weird feeling.

Well, I think that we can conclude with some certainty that it's about anxiety attacks. She seems to have the mounting anxiety, the insomnia, and the escapism that you'd expect from that. I've only ever hyperventilated once during an anxiety attack (Thanks for becoming enraged when I started crying, debate teacher), but it really did hurt a lot. I'm glad that that isn't a normal issue for me, at least. Anyway, though, anxiety definitely can feel like a loud siren is going off in your head.
You breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Excessive breathing creates a low level of carbon dioxide in your blood. This causes many of the symptoms of hyperventilation. You may hyperventilate from an emotional cause such as during a panic attack
I think I get it... Miku has a bad day and starts to cry and drink. Crying so hard, she starts to hyperventilate. As she does, her eyesight gets blurry, ect. The people outside she hears is people telling her that she has a silly reason for crying. So she thinks it'd be better to just try and breath in and stop. But can't. It hurts too much. The sirens could be an ambulance. The old coot is the grim reaper telling her to give up. The dancing is her struggling to breath. And dies; lack of breath.

The lyrics remind me a lot of panic attacks. I have them frequently and you see and hear strange things that aren't really there. The panicking causes the hyperventilating ofc and trying to breath is very painful, hence the hiffu hihiffu, I think is trying to signify how difficult it is to regulate your breathing. I personally do not think she actually died in the end. Panic and anxiety attacks, you often think you are dying and to accept that you will die is to give in to the attacks and allow them to take over which can cause your body to knock itself out.
Man, this song has helped me a ton tbh. I found this song about 5 years ago, when my anxiety was just starting up and I didn't know how to deal with it or what I was feeling. Through this song and the comments, I knew what I was experiencing- an anxiety attack combined with hyperventilation. I don't know, I guess I just want to thank this song for helping me learn about a part of my anxiety and how to deal with it, in a way.
TheButteredPotato i think she might mean that either she's afraid of dying inside from lack of sleep/never going outside, or the possibility of depression being tied into anxiety, which is more often than youd think
linday lolvell Ahh, nice picking up on that. And yeah, I can understand what you said perfectly well since I have depression and anxiety, plus a little extra on top of that, so I gotcha, lol.
+ TheButteredPotato panic attacks make you feel like you're going to die x n x thst time I had a panic attack, I had no idea what was going on and I thought I was having a heart attack or something, it hurt SO BAD. It's like having a hot needle jammed into your heart and wiggled around a bit.
I think this song is a bout a girl with some kind of panic disorder. Either that or psychosis or schizophrenia. Either way, it makes her very paranoid. The people outside saying “let’s be zombies” could just be drunk people late at night, and that’s why they sound like zombies. Because of this, she starts to hyperventilate in a panic attack, and she can’t catch her breath. That’s when her hallucinations combine with her panic. She feels like she’s dying, so she sees a grim reaper, (old coot with a sickle), who tells her to stop being human, and dance (die). At the end she can’t get a hold of her breath, and she says “I started to dance” (she really did die). This is even further implied when she says “it hurts to go and die like this”.
As someone with insomnia, I hate the fact this song is so accurate. I become paranoid at night afraid something/someone will kill me and so I start sobbing uncontrollably and try to stay calm while doing so. Definitely not nice.
I found this song kind of recently and showed it to my mum and she loves it too. This song is really a bop, and as someone who has panic attacks, also relatable.
i remember watching this in 2012 :') this is a really fond memory of mine. i'm still a huge nashimoto fan to this day at 20 years old. back then i still had a flip phone with butterfly on your right shoulder as my ringtone and i listened to nashimoto everyday. now i follow his band and watch all of his livestreams. im just feeling so nostalgic right now ;w;
This song is basically about a girl having a horrible day, to the point that she gets home and can't sleep after. She ends up staying up for most of the night feeling terrible, until some neighbors yell through her window that she looks like a zombie, like she's dying. She realizes that she can't breath (and it's probably turning blue) the whole song is her having an asthma attack, the person with the sickle is the grim reaper, telling her that she's going to die (stop being human) The same neighbors who yelled through her window called an ambulance (that's the siren and breath easy part) but, she's sure that she's going to die so she fights off the EMT's (the part about I took my hands and started to dance) and either ends up actually dying or hallucinationated to the point she believes that she's dead.
sb358 Wow I think your so right. Sometimes Miku songs are hard to work out and there are so many theories. Like Corpse March and Disappearance of Hatsune Miku
I think it's about having a panic attack, because this is what it feels like. It hurts to breathe in and out, which makes it very difficult to breathe normally, and lack of oxygen causes lightheadedness, and it feels as if you're dying. In songs you're not supposed to take things literally. Most of it is all symbolic. No one's actually yelling in her window saying she looks like a zombie. It's symbolic.
I’m also thinking this because of the “Hey breathe easy” lyric. It doesn’t seem like she’d say that to herself, if she was in the state she was. Someone else had to be there with her, trying to help. So the neighbors had to be there or someone else she didn’t exactly know very well.
lol this was prob commented already but i absolutely love how there's little to no empty space in this song!! the singer barely has any time to relax and chill, because you rly can't relax n chill while having an anxiety attack. the times she's trying to relax and control her breathing is when she says "hiffu hihhiffu," and she has to do it several times because it's so difficult to calm down while having an anxiety attack.
I feel like this song is about a girl who gets bullied (the mouth person presents the bully.) in the part where the mouth was singing the chorus, that’s where the bully saw her have a panic attack and tried to calm her down. He failed and only mad it worse, causing her to die of a heart attack. Then the mouth and only the mouth starts to sing the panting part, which I implies that he started to have panic attacks too, mainly from the fear that he caused the girls death. I know that it’s most likely wrong and stuff, but that’s just what I got from the song. Sorry.
I was suffering from panic attacks ever since I found out about the concept of death and I was about 6 years old. The song technically explain what happens every time I start panicking. Déjà vu and death references scares the shit out of me and gives me anxieties
Honestly this song makes me feel empty. Not because of the nature of this song, but partly because of how old it is and how this song is rarely talked about
1:13 People make fun of Miku and she cant seem to forget the embarrassing moment. This shows that the song maybe about an *Anxiety Attack*. Miku is at the point where she is hallucinating and causing self-harm. The hallucinations tells miku "Hey, lets stop being human" which can mean its telling Miku to kill herself. Miku lacks the ability to breathe from all the self-harm she is doing to herself. Miku ends up committing suicide cause she wasnt able to handle all the mocking that people did to her.
So when the "hiffu hihiffu lalalalaa" part comes except with the two mouths I think that means miku gave in to the voices in her head (the mouths) and they overcame her and she started to "dance" (she started to do what the voice sounds told her to do)
One time, I was having a panic/anxiety attack, I don’t really remember, anyways I was hyperventilating, and one of my classmate (My old toxic friend) was like “Just breath.” Bitch. IM TRYING!
This song helped me in a way that I can't explain, I was really anxious at school and I ran to the bathroom, I had my headphones on and this song just played and the rhythm somehow calmed me down 😅
I get anxiety attacks, but I'm really glad that none of them made me hyperventilate. It sounds like more of a nightmare than the anxiety attack itself.
I just noticed that this got another like, so I guess I should update: This year I ended up hyperventilating multiple times. My hunch was correct, it was worse than the anxiety attack that triggered it by far. Coupling being afraid, I felt like I was going to die, or pass out. It's certainly something that I wouldn't wish on anyone.
A lot of people relate this to song to anxiety attacks ( and so do I) although, on a personal level, it describes perfectly how it feels to use self strangulation as a mean of self harm.
Something I didn't notice at first, The ending line "-have to die like this" sort of sounds like "Ichi ni san shi" which is a count-up to 4 iirc, I don't know much Japanese nor do I know about a lot of words but coming from an outside perspective this is kinda cool and im curious on what it could mean
Once I was writing lyrics that rhymed for this song in class. I casually told my best friend who sits besides me about how the singer was having a panic attack, and the dancing represents panic, and she dies at the end. My friend's reaction? "...but does she end up dancing?"
The bit where miku's replaced with the mouth people almost sounds like something else entirely is singing. If you listen closely you'll know it's miku but well it really DOES sound like something else, huh?
if it helps, this song is about the authors experiences with anxiety and stuff. at least i'm guessing, since this producers songs are really introspective. and normally about stuff that happened in their life that bugs them and crud.
is hyperventilation the same thing as having a panic attack? because panic attacks are so horrible omg i haven't passed out from one and i hope i don't.

This song is about what it's like to have an anxiety attack.
The mouths are representations of the negative thoughts she has about herself (which is why they say "BAKA").
The pain comes from the attack itself, since hyperventilating for a few minutes makes people very light headed. It can make people feel like they're floating and/or that they're dying.
The scary figure comes from paranoia that anxious people have, they worry about anything and everything that could hurt them.
The double mouths dancing at the end could represent that she's at a point in her attack that she can't think rationally at all anymore, and that's why she's not being shown.

Listen to "Love me." By Kikuo. The sounds reminded me of Yume Nikki
Wilhelm Yaoi ever heard "Corpse March" by Kikuo? OOOH I had nightmares
i know I'm hella late but yes
It remiends me of psychonauts for some reason
Man, this song has helped me a ton tbh. I found this song about 5 years ago, when my anxiety was just starting up and I didn't know how to deal with it or what I was feeling. Through this song and the comments, I knew what I was experiencing- an anxiety attack combined with hyperventilation. I don't know, I guess I just want to thank this song for helping me learn about a part of my anxiety and how to deal with it, in a way.
Anxiety and insomnia? That would make sense, except for the fact that she talked about dying in the end, which didn't quite fit.
TheButteredPotato i think she might mean that either she's afraid of dying inside from lack of sleep/never going outside, or the possibility of depression being tied into anxiety, which is more often than youd think
linday lolvell Ahh, nice picking up on that. And yeah, I can understand what you said perfectly well since I have depression and anxiety, plus a little extra on top of that, so I gotcha, lol.
TheButteredPotato same tbh glad i could help
+ TheButteredPotato panic attacks make you feel like you're going to die x n x
thst time I had a panic attack, I had no idea what was going on and I thought I was having a heart attack or something, it hurt SO BAD. It's like having a hot needle jammed into your heart and wiggled around a bit.
when you have a panic attack, it feels like you are dying
Anyone else like to breathe in sync with the Hiffuu hihiffuu part? No? Alright just me then.
Meeeeeee~!!
+Tacnyan cutey I thought I was the only one. o.O
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
SO DID I! :O
+ Tacnyan cuteyu ish nawt Alune
I think this song is a bout a girl with some kind of panic disorder. Either that or psychosis or schizophrenia. Either way, it makes her very paranoid. The people outside saying “let’s be zombies” could just be drunk people late at night, and that’s why they sound like zombies. Because of this, she starts to hyperventilate in a panic attack, and she can’t catch her breath. That’s when her hallucinations combine with her panic. She feels like she’s dying, so she sees a grim reaper, (old coot with a sickle), who tells her to stop being human, and dance (die). At the end she can’t get a hold of her breath, and she says “I started to dance” (she really did die). This is even further implied when she says “it hurts to go and die like this”.
Maybe she just felt like she was dying as lots of people feel during a panic attack. So she thinks that she faces death as she just passes out
the drums sound a bit like an accelerated heartbeat if u listen closely
I use to be obsessed with this song years ago...I'm back
As someone with insomnia, I hate the fact this song is so accurate. I become paranoid at night afraid something/someone will kill me and so I start sobbing uncontrollably and try to stay calm while doing so. Definitely not nice.
I found this song kind of recently and showed it to my mum and she loves it too. This song is really a bop, and as someone who has panic attacks, also relatable.
i remember watching this in 2012 :') this is a really fond memory of mine. i'm still a huge nashimoto fan to this day at 20 years old. back then i still had a flip phone with butterfly on your right shoulder as my ringtone and i listened to nashimoto everyday. now i follow his band and watch all of his livestreams. im just feeling so nostalgic right now ;w;
This song is basically about a girl having a horrible day, to the point that she gets home and can't sleep after. She ends up staying up for most of the night feeling terrible, until some neighbors yell through her window that she looks like a zombie, like she's dying. She realizes that she can't breath (and it's probably turning blue) the whole song is her having an asthma attack, the person with the sickle is the grim reaper, telling her that she's going to die (stop being human) The same neighbors who yelled through her window called an ambulance (that's the siren and breath easy part) but, she's sure that she's going to die so she fights off the EMT's (the part about I took my hands and started to dance) and either ends up actually dying or hallucinationated to the point she believes that she's dead.
sb358 Wow I think your so right. Sometimes Miku songs are hard to work out and there are so many theories. Like Corpse March and Disappearance of Hatsune Miku
I think it's about having a panic attack, because this is what it feels like. It hurts to breathe in and out, which makes it very difficult to breathe normally, and lack of oxygen causes lightheadedness, and it feels as if you're dying.
In songs you're not supposed to take things literally. Most of it is all symbolic. No one's actually yelling in her window saying she looks like a zombie. It's symbolic.
I’m also thinking this because of the “Hey breathe easy” lyric. It doesn’t seem like she’d say that to herself, if she was in the state she was. Someone else had to be there with her, trying to help. So the neighbors had to be there or someone else she didn’t exactly know very well.
sb358 this and the anxiety attack theory are the most plausible out of all of the theories on this song
"hallucinationated"
lol this was prob commented already but i absolutely love how there's little to no empty space in this song!! the singer barely has any time to relax and chill, because you rly can't relax n chill while having an anxiety attack. the times she's trying to relax and control her breathing is when she says "hiffu hihhiffu," and she has to do it several times because it's so difficult to calm down while having an anxiety attack.
Its my panic attack and i get to choose the theme song
Wait this is the right bpm to give cpr to
I will never get over this song
I feel like this song is about a girl who gets bullied (the mouth person presents the bully.) in the part where the mouth was singing the chorus, that’s where the bully saw her have a panic attack and tried to calm her down. He failed and only mad it worse, causing her to die of a heart attack. Then the mouth and only the mouth starts to sing the panting part, which I implies that he started to have panic attacks too, mainly from the fear that he caused the girls death.
I know that it’s most likely wrong and stuff, but that’s just what I got from the song. Sorry.
Plot Twist:
*miku got some water and started to feel better.*
still one of my favorite vloid songs t this day !! rlly awesoem song with... a dark meaning
I was suffering from panic attacks ever since I found out about the concept of death and I was about 6 years old. The song technically explain what happens every time I start panicking. Déjà vu and death references scares the shit out of me and gives me anxieties
0:56 "kurushii" can also mean "hard to breathe" as well as "it hurts"
Honestly this song makes me feel empty. Not because of the nature of this song, but partly because of how old it is and how this song is rarely talked about
1:13
People make fun of Miku and she cant seem to forget the embarrassing moment. This shows that the song maybe about an *Anxiety Attack*. Miku is at the point where she is hallucinating and causing self-harm. The hallucinations tells miku "Hey, lets stop being human" which can mean its telling Miku to kill herself. Miku lacks the ability to breathe from all the self-harm she is doing to herself. Miku ends up committing suicide cause she wasnt able to handle all the mocking that people did to her.
YES FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE IN 2018!!! THIS SONG ISNT DEAD!!!
The rat man 2020 now. :)

So when the "hiffu hihiffu lalalalaa" part comes except with the two mouths I think that means miku gave in to the voices in her head (the mouths) and they overcame her and she started to "dance" (she started to do what the voice sounds told her to do)
It hurts to know the fact that this song isn't on Spotify
I love this song it gives me those kids 19s cartoons vibes, the lyrics are just perfecttt
One time, I was having a panic/anxiety attack, I don’t really remember, anyways I was hyperventilating, and one of my classmate (My old toxic friend) was like “Just breath.”
Bitch.
IM TRYING!
When you want make it seem that you're okay but you're actually having a panic attack
I love the art style so much! Amazing song and producer but the art is *chefs kiss*
This song helped me in a way that I can't explain, I was really anxious at school and I ran to the bathroom, I had my headphones on and this song just played and the rhythm somehow calmed me down 😅
I get anxiety attacks, but I'm really glad that none of them made me hyperventilate.
It sounds like more of a nightmare than the anxiety attack itself.
I just noticed that this got another like, so I guess I should update:
This year I ended up hyperventilating multiple times.
My hunch was correct, it was worse than the anxiety attack that triggered it by far. Coupling being afraid, I felt like I was going to die, or pass out.
It's certainly something that I wouldn't wish on anyone.
This is legitimately one of my favorite songs ever, not just for vocaloid
Just remembered that this song existed and came back to give it a listent,still bangs
i love this song!!!!!! it bangs!!!!! it's a banger!!!!
A lot of people relate this to song to anxiety attacks ( and so do I) although, on a personal level, it describes perfectly how it feels to use self strangulation as a mean of self harm.
It's ok guys, Mikus fine. She just has asthma.
Something I didn't notice at first, The ending line "-have to die like this" sort of sounds like "Ichi ni san shi" which is a count-up to 4 iirc, I don't know much Japanese nor do I know about a lot of words but coming from an outside perspective this is kinda cool and im curious on what it could mean
In Japanese, "sanshi" also means "惨死 (disastrous death)" (although it is only sound to be exact).
Original is written as "惨死".
there's something about this that makes me feel nostalgic
either it's the art, or the music, or the fact that this was posted 10 years ago
the artstyle is awesome, song is catchy AGHH
this animation is super cool i love it, and as someone who gets tachycardia often i like this song
I heavily relate this to my ptsd episodes amf how my life feels currently + how it felt 2013-2020 tbh
Once I was writing lyrics that rhymed for this song in class. I casually told my best friend who sits besides me about how the singer was having a panic attack, and the dancing represents panic, and she dies at the end.
My friend's reaction?
"...but does she end up dancing?"
i love the art style for the mv
The bit where miku's replaced with the mouth people almost sounds like something else entirely is singing. If you listen closely you'll know it's miku but well it really DOES sound like something else, huh?
oh my god I’ve been looking for this song for years!!! I’m so glad I finally found it 😭😭
When the lyric about the siren came on, an ambulance passed by.... I thought it was part of the song, until I looked up.
This song probably is about the hyperactivity or anxiety attacks because when that happens you can't keep quiet or breathing in the normal way :'/
Anyhow
I WANT TO DO THE DANCE. How to fly off?
+Auriel Rose i've been seaching. so lets just sing and rotate
Yes owo
.w.
*rotates violently*
*can't do bold, sings like is in a metal band*
+Auriel Rose *xD finds a way to fly off* Use the diving board! *is flying*
if it helps, this song is about the authors experiences with anxiety and stuff. at least i'm guessing, since this producers songs are really introspective. and normally about stuff that happened in their life that bugs them and crud.
This song still hits me harder now that I really can digest the lyrics
is hyperventilation the same thing as having a panic attack?
because panic attacks are so horrible omg i haven't passed out from one and i hope i don't.
Hyperventilation is part of a panic attack, but it is not the same thing. Hyperventilation is where your breathing rate speeds up at an alarming rate.
