This song actually has 3 guitars. One is Kunimitsu (österreich) and two are from the actual band itself and I love how they are layered. There is actually a video out there which has the initital recording and writing period of the song and when they did the fry vocals everyone in the room said "oh thats nostalgic" since kunimitsu hasnt done them since the cabs. österreich songs themselves dont include them but a lot of the songs for the cabs that you haven't heard that i recommended have them and often they feature them more prominently. But yeah most of the time they are hard to understand lyrically. As for this songs lyrics: I already spent more time to think about them, and for me this song seems like its about trying to let go of painful memories, possibly in connection to a really harsh break-up. It starts with "だれも傷つくことなく、もう惑うことなく", which essentially means that none of the two parties can be hurt or confused anymore since they seperated themselves from one another and the rest of first verse describes his feelings like "the word compassion has fallen out of the dictionary" and trying to get over them doing things like overeating. Until it crescendos in "Until I can live with the memories!". In the Chorus itself he seems to tell himself and the other person to move on, describing what i interperate as enjoying beautiful nature and eventually looking back and being numb to the past memories. I think its that specifically because they have a lyric that goes "when you start to cry, even this song will just become noise". And then it ends on him saying to "smile at all times". Verse 2 seems to have him meet the a "fake version" of the person again "in the streets of march" so basically in spring. I feel like it implies that someone reminded him of her or that he fell in love again with someone similar to maybe cope? Or he cant recognize the person anymore. Whatever it is he passes by pretending not to know a care and time moves on "the seasons are collapsing in a row, like dominoes". I read the next lines "塗り絵と変わらない暮らしを貼り付けた . 笑われるほどの愛情をにせもののきみに届けよう" as him trying to lead a fake happy life "pasting on a life no different than a painted book" and him giving way too much love to the new person maybe to compensate. And once again it ends on "Until the memories wear out!" after the fry vocal break. It ends on a happy note with him dsecribing the time passing and most memories "just turning into noise" but in eternity he will always remember a smile, so they should always keep smiling. END of my analysis lol Btw some song recommendations on the side which arent from the usual bands from me: tricot - "potage" and "真っ黒" toe - "goodbye" (the original version and not with toki asano, it has a MV) and "distance sessions 2020", which is a 12 minute session they did which very high quality. Radiohead - "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" Squid - "Pamphlets" and "G.S.K." くるり /Quruli - "ワールズエンド・スーパーノヴァ" (so WORLDS END SUPERNOVA) and lastly, Black Country, New Road - "Concorde" and "Good Will Hunting" Wanted to do this early so you can put them on your list and eventually get to them. These are some of my favorite songs.
Thank you, I suppose I'll go back and listen with all these thoughts in mind! I could definitely feel some sort of breakup factor in the song, but I wasn't totally sure. I believe I got super absorbed into the vocals and instruments at most points and totally forgot to dissect 😅 As for the recommendations, I'll put them into my list as always and hopefully get to some of them soon. At least one or two should be uploaded this week 😊 Thanks for the massive support as always ❤️
