Something about the way this video is animated is just so unsettling. Like, the way the girl moves just looks so unnatural in every way, I don't know... It's like some weird uncanny valley stuff goin' on and it's just so good man
It don't know why, but every Song from Kikuo just has such a special feeling to it, it goes from panic attack vibes to sad emotional parts or creepy parts. I think this is a really rare kind of music, where you can just feel the whole emotions and anxietys with the characters in the Song. I love it
Kikuo is a master with these sorts of songs, and another vocaloid producer who touched such sad subjects but made such magnificent songs with those subjects, (insanity meets harmony if you must,) is the late Wowaka. His most famous piece is 'Rolling Girl' which was a song about a girl who was driven to suicide by those around her. The vocals are beautiful gut the song is heart wrenching.
This is what I like most about his song, like the music is really upbeat and happy sounding but his lyrics are total opposite.this is something which make his music really unique.
As someone who has been in an abusive relationship this song really does speak the truth on how it feels to try to find love again, when you're finally treated like a actual person again it's heartbreaking, almost too good to be true. You don't want to believe it's real, you've been put in a mindset of worthlessness
same here. this song seems painful to me. ik how my 1st lover horribly treated me and that's why this song is relatable. sadly, even tho after 2y i found friends and new relationship, i found myself being thankful for bare minimum with my new narcissistic lover. circle repeated itself again, cuz i was too much traumatised already, and i got abusive relationship again. bitter type of pain.
Yeah I agree with this. About a month ago I was in a very abusive relationship. A lot of people I talked to always to me to end it off but I never did because before with a previous relationship, I had been brought down to a state of worthlessness to where I had zero self respect. When I came into the one after that, the feeling of her actually treating me like a normal person had me paranoid. I was always paranoid of things but being with herat the start made it worst due to how greatly she treated me. It almost felt like it was too good to be ture. almost fake. But I psuhed those feelings aside and went with it. I had a lot of things wrong in my head from the ex before but this one made me feel happy around her. It was almost like a drug. If I wasn't near her for a second I felt like my life was crumbling and my anxiety was tearing me apart for the whole time of us being apart. She was just the sweetest person on the planet and I loved her for it. But it then just went downhill a few months into the relationship all of a sudden and that's where the verbal and mental abuse came in. She had anger issues. And bad ones at that. She would get angry at the smallest things. Some people would make her angry but shr would someowhat be patient with them. me on the other hand, regardless if I meant to or not (99% of the time I unkowingly do), she let's out the worst on to me. I get cursed at, insulted, you name it, she's done it. then she would threaten to break up. there were times she has broken up with me because of it but we always got back together. She wasnt as aggressive with it as my ex before her, but it did make things immensly worse. My anxiety and paranoia were just going haywire. In a way, she indirectly made me feel like I wasn't shit without her. I felt that if i wasn't with her, I would be in such a bad state to where I probably woulnd't be around. Obviously that never happened and i'm glad to have the people around me that helped me through the break up. I ruined friendships because of that relationship and I horrible for the friends that I ended up losing. Luckily we became friends again but the guilt just eats me alive every single time. I've just gotten better at hiding it so no one would worry. Idk why i rambled on about that... my bad 😆
hanatan is truly a powerful singer, and the instrumental really brings that out- the end of the pv reminds me of someone being h//nged and i dont like it
The way she’s ‘grabbing her bangs’ (as some people in the comments said) is really meaningful to me, because sometimes when you’re panicking, you grasp at nothing. You grasp for any kind of leverage, because you feel as if you’re falling. I like how Kikuo added that detail.
“Can’t ignore the horrors that I’ve seen.” 2:54 (subtitles) By her “grabbing her bangs”/scratching her face, it could be a method of s3lf h@rm, trying to cover/blind her vision so she doesn’t see anymore trauma like that. My uncle has worked at a clinic and has had at least two patients forcefully sent in with scratches on their eyes and face, they’ve both said the same thing; (or similar, as trauma is not always the same) “I don’t want to get better. I don’t want to see anymore.” It gives me chills whenever he tells that story. And it’s heartbreaking to hear that there are such coping mechanisms out there.
Severe Trauma survivor’s usually have the tendency of attempting to claw out their eyes bc they don’t want to see their trauma, which is why she’s scratching her face
Reading the comments, I can't help but disagree and say that perhaps the girl is someone whom is recovering from a previous abusive dependent relationship, thus why she 'cannot accept such a gentle love'. She's in a healthy relationship now and because her partner is treating her right, she doesn't know what to do because she's used to someone abusing her. Something like that.
I believe it is something like that. She's so used to her former toxic relationship that she can't accept the relationship she is in now. Another theory people say is that she hangs herself? One evidence is that she says she needs someone to substitute to live. To sum it up, she likes the feeling she has with her present lover but because she is so used to her former relationship, she ends up killing herself? Also, it's probably noticable that she's harming herself due to the fact that she can't accept being in a better relationship.
The translyrics on the video are a bit off. Not completely inaccurate: it captures the tone well and flows well enough, just lost the nuance in trying to make it rhyme. Originally, the translated line by HnY was closer to "Like these wounds belong to someone else." (I'm not good at interpreting lyrics, so have a go at it.)
I completely agree with your comment as I recognize myself in this song. I've always been mistreated in love and sadly: I got used to it. Now that I am in a wonderful and loving relationship I sometimes found myself wondering why my partner loves me, how could he be nice or even respectful towards me? I just can't accept it... I still think that I don't deserve happiness. Hopefully I'm doing better, learning how to be happy again with the help of my precious love. (And for anyone who's dealing with abuse, even if you are scared: Talk to someone who listens to you, Get some help. You can't let someone steal your body, your mind and your life. I've been there too: I believe in you, stay strong
I have never felt so disturbed by a PV before. The way she morphs and rubs her face just translated for me the tone of anxiety and pain from the song - I was getting chills!
after 2:27 makes me feel anxious, but before 2:27 I can handle the song. I just don’t really like the eyes in the wall part, it’s so creepy, yet impressive.
I remember listening to this song while i was in a shitty relationship, this song kept playing in my head while i suffered depression and was on the edge of suicide, almost as if my brains warning me about something to come... listening to it now it hits different..
Aside from the jokes and meaning that people are talking about in the comments. Can we appreciate the fact that the person singing this has a beautiful voice?
Does anyone else think that the story depicts a girl who feels uncomfortable with having a healthy relationship because of abuse from her childhood instead of a relationship? I think the imagery (background in the beginning, outfit) resembles more of a child than adult.
Honestly, that's kinda how I see it because I relate to it, a lot. I'm in a good relationship, I'm being treated well, but the love doesn't hurt like I always thought it was supposed to. Now I can't help wanting him to hurt me, because that's what love always was, to me. Pain. Helplessness. Submission. I don't know how to accept this gentleness. The eyes reminded me of the paranoia abuse can cause, always expecting to be hurt.
That’s how I interpret it, then again I interpret songs like this to my personal experience, others might interpret differently (aah bad grammar sorry, it’s late in Germany, and I forgot how to speak English for a sec sorry)
I barely know any Japanese but the emotion in the singer’s voice is so strong and the visuals really pull it together. I’ll probably be listening to this on repeat for days 😭
I think the saddest part of this whole song for me is the fact that her center of gravity in the swaying is her neck. Meaning shes already hanging by her neck the whole time shes in the video.. Im not sure what this could symbolize, but its what runs chills down my spine every time i watch this Edit: even more chilling, the only times she has most control over her body (ie, not hanging by her neck), shes having clearity moments in her brain which cause her to scratch at her face and cut herself. Absolutely chilling
i love this sm, the way she constantly scratches her face makes me so uncomfortable because i scratch my arms a lot when i'm nervous and i can feel my face hurting from just watching it
I just realized that the sylable count in the English subtitles matches the Japanese vocals almost perfectly. I am so impressed, wow. It even lines up in tempo and everything.
@@savannahwiliams7203 No. No he did not. Kikuo does not have a single Music Video he made himself. Hanamushi made the music video, and has made many other videos for other Vocaloid producers. Most of the MV's in Kikuo's songs are made by Si_ku.
My analysis of the whole shabam: The main character, the lady, is not currently in an abusive relationship; she is actually trying to recover from one. After the old unhealthy relationship, she has found herself a new lover, one that is kind and treats her gently. However, her heart "shakes and says it can't accept that gentle happiness" (0:22), signifying that she is used to her old abusive relationship and something twisted inside of her is making her want to go back to that kind of love rather than accept the happiness she is currently feeling (maybe she is stuck in the mentality that she is not "worthy" of her current kind lover, which the tearing of her face and body signifies, or her past relationship could have twisted her to the extent that that is what she now sees as love). The main character is struggling with her conflicting emotions of her past and present, leaving her filled with a feeling of emptiness, or a covered hole (0:52). Her consciousness of these conflicting feelings is seen through her internal monologue and her physical destruction of herself, maybe trying to make herself snap out of it or simply going insane from all these conflicting feelings she's having, doing anything to make them stop. She can't stop this feeling of wanting to go back to her abusive relationship from consuming her, with enough not being enough (1:40). This want is constantly hurting her (1:55) in both senses that she wants it to stop, but what method will appease her? Being happy or going back? What can she do? What is she able to do? All these questions leave her going crazy, just wanting to get the pain and suffering out somehow and figure out an answer to her future. She _wants_ her future to be a happy one with the kind lover, but her heart is "...set to set intent apart" (2:10), or in other words, set to push her away from what she is trying to do (her intent) which is to be happy. Her heart either does not want or accept the kindness she is now getting, causing her to panic and revert back to what she is used to, or her abusive relationship. She knows she is broken, as can be seen from the rest of the video. She says she only wants kisses stained in red (3:17), which we can assume is blood maybe from her abuser abusing her or just from violence in general. In the end, this want to go back to what she's used to wins over, and she decides to leave her happy relationship. However, she does not return to the abusive one because she knows it's not good; it's just the thing that's keeping her apart from being happy. Because of this fact and her knowledge that she is too twisted to be happy, she is sent on being alone, "for life" (4:11). As to the reason why she keeps hurting herself, maybe she feels she deserves it for her unnatural feelings toward abuse and how she isn't able to accept genuine love. Or her internal conflicts are just driving her mad enough that she does not want to feel anything anymore; just emptiness. Maybe it will be better for her that way. I hope this helped some of you analyze the song, and if it didn't, then leave your opinion on what you thought it meant down below! Thanks :))
One of the details that I love about this is song is the mood and imagery that it has, I’ve heard that this song is about an abusive relationship and so it makes sense the way that at the start the singing and imagery is calm (like on the start of a relationship, when it’s all lovely and happy) and then it slowly turns dark and uncomfortable (when the relationship is not what you expected and it ended up being a horrible experience)
i'd also like to think the bandage on the OC's face that keeps appearing since the song gets darker are victim trying to not see what's going on and ignore it until the wounds are too bad so the bandage falls off by itself
That's exactly how it feels when I listen to this. Everything from my previous relationship flashed into my head and all i could do was just cry. it was very traumatic, especially since I've been in two abusive relationships back to back. Started off great. Ended miserably.
@@cursed_f0r_life._ I never saw the bandages fall off They actually stayed And I think it conveys how the damage cannot be fixed as she tries to get rid of the pain(aka the bandages)
this literally screams "too used to abusive relationship I'm gonna hurt myself now because I don't know how to react to this kind of relationship and even though you love me and I love you I don't love myself bandage bandage scars blood sadness emotionally exhausted" Edit: hi everuone who finds this comment, thank you all for wishing me well, im perfectly fine LOL im sorry if this came out as venting i was just interpreting what the song meant thank you all for the likes and the kindness though, i appreciate it !! Edit again: oh goodness, 1.2k likes, mum i'm famous
Um... 14 year olds? Edit: okay the reason I commented this is because of gacha Probably a stupid reason but I've seen so much shit in the toxic side of the gacha community I know, because I was in the community I used to seeing those things.. so I'm sorry about my comments here
@@PussyLicker-eg7sj This song is so damn dark. Do they even know? They're probably 14 year olds who find this song so " Relaxing ". It's a song about a Toxic relationship/Abuse It literally gave me the chills when i listen to this.. i do not find this comforting ._. Kikuo makes creepy-a** Vocaloid songs.
The saddest part for me is the fact there’s a faint shadow of a rope in the top of her head.. And the fact the center of gravity of how she sways is mainly her neck…. Meaning she’s already hanging…. Someone mentioned this too..
@@agachansilencekyaCan you respond to this comment so I know you’re still alive? I may just be another stranger on the internet but I just want you to know you have to keep trying. You cannot give up.
@@agachansilencekya Please stay here. Stay and try to make your life better for you and as hard as it seems you can do it. There will be hard times but you have to keep pushing through.
I saw this yesterday and thought to myself, “I’m never watching this again.” Today, I felt an odd urge to listen to some kikuo music and lo and behold, this song was the first thing on my recommended. We’re too far in, y’all. There is no escape.
this is so damn heartwrenching.. the way the girl says "please" when asking for an abusive love makes it seem like she really believes that love should be that way.. no kindness and no happiness...only suffering. the end made me assume that it drove her insane to the point that she killed herself.. this song has my heart.
The lyrics, those inhuman movements she does, the unsettling musical parts, the eyes that stares at her while she falls in despair. All in this song is the perfection of having a mental breakdown for an overwhelming sadness.

eh imo this one isn't so creepy for me the creepiest is the 'chiri chiri juso' vid... idk i remember my first time watching that and i just felt really, really uncomfortable, the visuals and the music..
@@ghostscales8120 oh well I guess everyone has their definition of creepiness, I find the MV of this song creepy , and the one of chiri chiri judo weird but not creepy.
The song is meant to leave you with a sense of unease and helplessness because that is what most people feel like directly after escaping long term abuse. If they’re self destructive they’ll want to be comfortable and happy but their emotions are still likely volatile after the previous relationship and being self destructive doesn’t go well with unpredictable emotional swings. Trust issues seems to get the big green checkmark too. She’s shown developing scars because she’s just now starting to process the trauma that she went through with all the emotional weight attached. It’s meant to be representative of how she feels she’s falling apart and needs something even temporary just to bring her back out of it. It’s really hard to explain but when you’re just out of that situation and you’re emotionally volatile one moment you’ll be completely fine, you’ll start to feel your mood lowering almost as if your happiness is all slipping away, and the next moment you’ll be lashing out at yourself and anyone you see as a threat. I personally understand all of those feelings and I can confirm the most likely outcome was suicide. When you’re without hope and constantly panicking about everything because you feel like you’ve lost your grip on reality (that the reality that you have lived is not normal or okay) and all the processing and lonely nights crying feeling like everyone would be better off if you just ended everything and the pain would all be over. I personally understand every last bit of it, i’ve lived it and i’m just now moving away from the painful process of realization into the part where I think all of the things over that I can still remember and find a way through all of it. For those of you who resonate as strongly as I do with this song I hope your recovery is coming along well and just know no matter what that you are never alone, we all love you and we’ll all be here for you when you’re in your darkest moments and you just need someone to reach out to, talk to, share some fun jokes with, or just sit in the presence of another to be comfortable. No one had ever done that for me and I felt like less than absolutely nothing so I want to give you that reassurance that I never felt from reading those stupid ‘everything gets better u just gotta grit ur teeth and take it’ inspirational quotes. I understand, I’ll tell you right now, no matter how long it hurts just push forward through all that emotional fog even if it takes days or years even when you’re at the edge of nothing remember you’ve come this far and remember that you cannot give up after everything. If you need it take a break however long you need, just remember that you’re important, everyone loves you even when you doubt that love someone who loves you will never want to break you. And one day I promise if you do just try to hold on you’ll look back, like I am right now, and you’ll realize, just as I have here, that the fog clears slowly as you go and one day you’ll see clearly again, maybe not perfect but clear.
Thank you for making this comment, genuinely. I relate to most of this, and even tho I believe my tramua is very small, it did help me realize how much it still affects me
Thank you so much for writing this, my emotionally abusive father just passed away and so i am stuck in this hazy part of my life where the lack of constant abuse makes me terrified i hate it so much its like i need it in my life that without the trauma and constant pain i am nothing so it means a lot. to hear this from somebody else. i thought for so long i was alone but its extremely comforting to know i am not
@@username-userr - I know the pain of an empathy head and heart and i’m still struggling with depression and panic disorder. But it gets easier as it goes. I know not to tell someone in recovery that it just gets better, it takes some work and time, and your feelings about all of this should never be invalidated. Once you start to come out again you’ll start to realize who you want to be as a person and I hope you’ll have someone in your life to be there when you’re down. I wish you well, no matter what you’re going through know you aren’t alone and if you need to talk through that stuff there’s people who understand and who will listen.
@@cinderheartmeow6032 thank you and i wish you well too, it allmeans a lot and hopefully i can look back on this part of my life and let out a sigh of relief that it is over
I really love how you can almost tell what its about by just looking at the mv, it is nice, pastel and pink covered in flowers when it suddenly fades into a rotted tile. In the first part of the lyrics when the setting chamges it says "Aah, like a pit opened in the empty void that is the sky" as we begin to see the tile start to crumble, as if opening something new. The second portion is "my husk of a body and heart that should be tender are" as she starts twitching and grabbing at/itching her fave, as if shes uncomfortable in her skin. "Distorted forms covered with old wounds" is the next part, she begins to do a motion that somewhat looks like shes crying or trying to cry, as if shes in pain, she also vegins twitching more here as if she were being distorted, and right before the next part of the lyric, a bandage appears over her right eye. The next lyric being "completely perverted" as she suddenly calms down and starts swaying, as if the enjoys the sexual attention. And then the lyric "please only give me love that is dripping with blood" continues, as she continues to grab at her face and another bandage appears on her left arm, she quickly appears closer to the screen as the rotted tile fades to a blood red and the edges of the screen are faded with black while tons of blood drips down behind her, she is also much more twitchy here, possibly the most twitchy she gets in the entire mv, the blood red background give us a hint to the lyrics as dose the bandage on her arm, but how she is panicing is rather unsettling, just as how the voice and bgm are in this part, the following lyric is "anxiety has me as if im crumbling to bits" the shakiness/panicing is a very obvious sign of the anxiety, but instead of the crubling background like before, instead, its shaking violently, as if someone was trying to make it crumble, same goes for the next lyric "and its so excruciating" as another bandage appears over her other eye, and the entre mv, vocals, and bgm start to calm down, as if she finds it comforting, the regular brown tile is back and she begins swaying again as the following lyric appears; "to tell the truth, because youre so gentle" as if she finds nothung wrong with how she is being hurt, and how she finds abuse to be 'gentle' "i wish this could go on forever" is the next lyric, possibly further proving my point in how she finds comfort to the sexual attention. "This tiny bit of happiness - my heart is unable to accept it" possivly trying to say that she does not know true love, and only knows abuse and torture, after that lyric, the bgm starts to get violent again and she starts twitching once more, getting more and more extream with every twitch, "the fact is, im completely twisted" the song says next, as she starts to do the crying motion again, now im not sure if she means 'twisted' in a mental way, or a physical way, as she does state many times that she "enjoys the pain"in some ways, but whenever she twitches, her head if often brought down to her stomach, and her arms flail while her body begins to distort. Some of the rotting tiles begin to fall. "The fact is nothing can be done" she begins twitching again, while doing the same crying motion. "Endure it. Endure it" more tiles begin to fall and she starts violently twitching again, as if shes panicing once more. "Im so riddled with scars its like im a different person" can further prove that she sees nothing wrong with the abuses that shes receiving, instead caring about her appearance. Yet by then she stops twitching and she finally puts her arms back down to her sides and keeps swaying, until the entire song/mv becomes violent again, she comes closer to the screen and grabs at her face again, revealing that now both or her arms are badaged, but the different thing about this outburst of the mv is now there are eyes peeking out from the other side of the tile "please give me kisses smeared with blood" proving how she views love as something violent. "Im broken. I desperately want a substitute in my place"the eyes are twitching just as she is, as if they were looking for something in a panicked way "please give me love that is dripping in blood" as the blood in the backround starts pouring again. "Anxiety has me as if im being broken apart to pieces" she is still grabbing at her face. The blood starts dripping faster. "And so i am lonely" possibly stating that her abuser hes left her for good since she cant keep herself together(reference to another lyric) "forever more" the mv starts calmjng down, her entire fave is bandaged up and she puts her arms back down, she eyes dissappear and she begings swaimg again as the mv moves down to show her bandaged legs Now, i saw a comment that said that she was swaying whenever she calmed down because she jad already hung herself before the song/mv even takes place, i really love this. The end portion where it shows as low as her ankles
This interpretation is making me think this is the same character featured in ごめんねえごめんえね. Although this could be about a different person considering ごめんねごめんね is based around a little girl who was r4p3d and abused by specifically her father, there IS a possibility it could be her, because I don't think Kikuo/Kikuohana confirmed the meaning behind it. People all have different perceptions of this song.
2:21 OMG THIS SOUND FREAKS ME OUTTTTT it makes me so uncomfortable, while watching the animation it's even worse. The music, lyrics and image really go well together and make me feel something. Not to mention Hanatan's voice... She just gives me chills everytime.
I must vent a moment; A few months back, around 5, I ended a year long relationship ship with a 27 year old man. He is the most horrible man I know. I won't say my age, but I am still a minor. I met this boy a month after, and we've been in a relationship for three months now. I must say, I feel safe with him, and I'm so happy, but I simply can't forget what happened to me and it makes me feel weird. I simply cannot explain how this video and song makes me feel. Edit: thank you all for the support, sincerely.
I think the rubbing and scratching on her face is a metaphor for self harm, and how she says she can’t accept her partners gentle love because maybe she thinks she doesn’t deserve happiness and that’s why she hurts herself
Here is a better translation: We're just simply laying side by side The hands of the clock keep ticking on But such a warm happiness Is something my body can't accept. Like a gaping hole in the void of the sky Is my body similarly empty and my heart that should be fragile Contorts into a shape filled with old wounds. I am so horribly twisted.... Please only give me a bloody love It feels like my anxiety is tearing me into a thousand pieces That's why It keeps hurting.... Because you're so gentle, I wish this would last forever But such a modest happiness Is something my heart staunchly rejects. I am so terribly twisted.... There's no helping it..... Bear with it, bear with it.... But I'm covered in wounds as if they belong to someone else. Please give me a blood-stained kiss I want a broken substitute to take over for me Please only give me a bloody love My anxiety is tearing me apart That's why I'll stay lonely.... Forever
This seems like the middle of I'm Sorry I'm Sorry, where she gets in a relationship with a male who doesn't abuse her and r4p3 her, which her father did, which she mistook for "love". So she thinks the male doesn't love her.
@@pyle4775 yeah but she escaped and was in a healthy relationship for awhile before running back and being killed. This song seems to be from the perspective of her during the time she was in the healthy relationship, before she ran baxk
I think the background is actually her face and whenever she's scratching or covering it the back shows what she's doing to herself,The last part probably was her skin falling apart due to self harm and then her face is fully covered in the bandages.
everyone talked about the voice and the ambience while i'm here getting goosebumps because of the animation, when the girl starts glitching its just so weird to me but pleasing
Personally I believe this isn’t about recovery at all I think this is about pure manipulation Let’s say this person in the song is in an abusive relationship but refuses to believe because of the good partsTheir partner hurts,scars and causes more pain then ever but somehow get them to stay by always acting like the good guy in the end. She refuses to accept that “gentle happiness” because she knows it to be all fake but still doesn’t know how to escape and has nobody to run to. She keeps herself into believing that the abuse isn’t abuse and she has to take it to have the “good times” so she tries to make herself enjoy the pain too.
every of there songs always reminds me cp. The character depicted is of a pretty doll who looks like a child, innocent and pretty. Later horrendous stuff happens to her, and she gets scared. The scars never healed, depicting from the character. I also wanna introduce the idea od catabolism. Most songs I hear like these always tie back to r@pe, abuse, child neglect, or cannibalism. Shit that is not widely talked about in Japan's society.
This video is honestly brilliant, the way she starts off “clean” at first and ridden of bandages but as time goes on and she continues to scratch her face and cry, the bandages completely take over her body and she can’t even see because of the bandage over her eyes
It will end. Everything is gonna be better and you’re gonna feel happy, in this world there are 7 billion people and out of them there is at least 100 people who would actually die for you. Do stuff that makes you feel good, get a hobby. Even at some times having your favorite meal in the middle of the day while listening to your favorite songs can help make you happy. Make yourself a handmade gift in your favorite color, buy gifts for yourself, draw what you’re feeling right now and burn the paper as if your burning those feelings, write your feelings in one word on a balloon and pop it or if it’s helium let it go in the sky. There are accounts you can vent to in Instagram, you can try them. If you don’t have a pet get yourself one if you can, they really make you forget about all the problems you have by loving you as a thanks for taking care of them. And never forget to love yourself, after all, this is you who’s been worrying about you and your feelings and wishing for them to go. Say “thank you me” to yourself in the mirror and smile. It will be alright. You will be happy again soon
No, it never ends for me, I'll never be free from my past, it'll always creep up from out of nowhere, and ruin everything for me, and the people I love the most.
This is like... Idk why, but, is like that part of gomene gomene where the lil girl said that she had scape from her father and a Onii-chan helped her during a time. However, she felt like there was something wrong with her since she thought that an abussive and horrible love was the normal, because the guy who helped her was treating her with a real normal love. I don't know if I explained myself neither if this story is connected to gomene. I just know that it is a good song.
Translated that and I got this: Cuddle up and stay by my side The hand of the clock advances Warmth that happiness My body can not accept Ah Ah It looks like a hole in the sky of Kara's sky Kara's body should be fragile An irregular shape full of old wounds It is distorted Please give me only the blood full of blood I'm afraid I will crack shatter in anxiety So do not panic So easy that so I want you to continue forever This modest happiness I can not accept my heart It is twitching It can not be helped Be patient and endure There are lots of scars like another person Please give me a bloody kiss. I want a broken human goat. Please give me only the blood full of blood I'm afraid to break apart with uneasiness That's why I'm lonesome.
This reminds me of the game called "my eyes deceive." It's a game where you play as a young girl trapped in a man's basement, but she's been there all her life. She believes the man to be her father, and he might be, but he makes her take an unknown medication every night. She has nightmares as she sleeps, and the only things she eats are things in the paper bag that appear every morning. By the end of the game, in the bad ending, the girl wakes up... And this line appears on a black screen: "Why is my belly all big and round?" I will never forget that experience and feel like crying every time I think about it.
I been abused all my life, not sexually but mentally and psychology by my family. I have never noticed it before but for some years I'm noticing that I feel comfortable around abusive people, fights and toxicity. People who show kindness and try to be gentle with me scare me. I'm 24, educated, recently got a job with residence and it was a dream come true because I've been trying to escape all my life but when I got there, I got so scared by the respect and kindness they showed me. I couldn't sleep and was trembling and my anxiety came all over me telling me they would do something terrible to me and ran away just after three days and came back to my abusers. I still live in this house where all I get is pain, insults and humiliation but I feel safe. I wanna runaway, I cry ever night and regret every morning but there's nothing I can do. I know I have to get out of it but now I'm unable to find a job with residence. These kind of chances come once in a lifetime for messed up fated people like me. I don't what to do.
I'm not much help but I know exactly what you mean. I've been in a emotionally and mentally abusive household for years as well. Whenever someone says something kind it feels wrong to me, it makes me panic because i expect an insult and it never comes. I've had to run out of a place to cry in my car because someone got me a sandwich or something. Its incredible what you can train someone to do over years. It's not much but I hope I could at least show that you aren't alone. You can do this. Ive found writing down a list of things to keep fighting for helps a little, even if its somethings small like a certain tree you like to look at or a food you like. Just anything that brings you joy. I try to refresh it every other week if I can and tack it on the ceiling above my bed, and force myself to read it when I wake up. Just anything to keep myself going until the end of the day. I know its not much but I hope it does something. You got this
I'm very bad with words so I apologize in advance if what I'm saying don't make sense. I used to be scared of enjoying the good things in life because it feels like something bad is gonna happen and because of that, I spent my pre-teen years being gloomy to avoid getting hurt. Looking back at it, I hurted myself more by avoiding them TvT And then, I remember this saying my former psychologist told me, "if there are good things, bad things are bound to happen to balance things up or how good things never last, so does bad things. Everything is temporary. A second can feel like forever whilst 1 hour can feel like one second. What I'm trying to say is,,, Try to enjoy/appreciate the good moments you have without anticipating the bad ones too much. Because if you do, you'll end up spending your remaining good time worrying about the bad stuff. Thats why, if possible, don't worry too much. Easier said than done but you'll never know right? You've made it this far in your life, wouldn't it be sad for you to just abandon your hardwork? But also, nothing wrong with restarting everythinh. Its a matter of your comfort. If the bad comes down to bad, then let it happen, and figure things out together so you can get by the gloomy moments faster!! I hope it makes semse 😓
Reading this made myself realize I feel the exact same way, it’s a mest up comfort way, staying with your abuser or keeping contact with them although you know it’s wrong and it’s at the same time eating you away but it’s all you’ve ever known, it’s scary and terrifying but also you can’t break away from it. A month ago my ex from my freshman year (I’m going to be a senior now) recently reached out to me to apologize and try having a friendship and I accepted because i had this weird sense of comfort in still wanting to be connected to them because I myself am a neglected child so having this anttention and abuse was comforting in a mest up way. My ex basically SA me and used my trauma and fear of abandonment against me in doing things that were very uncomfortable for me but I thought in the back of my head, this is ok..it’s what love is, isn’t it?
To you, my fellow human, I hope you're doing well. I don't know how I can be of much help but I do know you need to seek medical counseling in order to be better. And that you need to learn how to trust again. In other people's kindness and in yourself. It will take some time and it won't be easy but it's all part of the process. I'm rooting for you.
I broke up with a sociopath 7 months ago. I'm going to therapy because he love bombed me, then mistreated me, made me believe i was crazy, a liar, a bad girlfriend. He manipulated me, i stopped eating, i stopped seeing my friends, i barely talked to my family and left school, he told me he was the only person in the world that could understand me and that would ever love me. When i started feeling bored and frustrated, i decided to go to college and starting to hang out with my classmates. He left me the day the covid quarantine started, the told me i was crazy, a liar, a bitch and blocked me everywhere. I still crave for love and affection, but i also feel that I don't deserve to be loved and have to be punished for being bad. This song relates so bad, I don't only feel this way with guys who flirt with me, but also when my friends or family are complimenting me, i feel that they're lying and are going to hurt me terribly. I'm sorry if my redaction is wrong, english's not my first language, i just needed to speak about this, it hurts a fucking lot, i feel like i will never recover from this.
I really understand. I didn't lived the same things, but I feel the same.. I can't feel only happy when someone compliment me. It hurts. It hurts a lot, to know too that I can't feel happy in those moments. Sorry for my English too, I'm french and I didn't used Google Translation so it's not perfect. I hope you will one day feel better, really.
Has anybody else noticed that at the end when she sways, it kinda looks like a hung body without the noose? Just wondering... // By the way. Great job , Kikuo!

i dont know how i find kikuo,i cant pick up a feeling when i listen to his songs,but im sure i know how im feeling,its weird.i guess i find his songs comforting though??
to me, i think this is a girl first being into a relationship after being in an abusive one. she speaks that she basically cant handle sweet, kind love and prefers the sickest sort of love. at 3:50 she says "i know it shows how broken i've become" which i think means shes been abused, been broken down, been left. she then proceeds to say "yes, it's why ill be lonely" since she cant handle love. i think it becomes to much for her to handle, the true love, and hangs herself one thing to add, i think shes hurting herself because she longs for the abuse she got in her past relationship. bruises, cuts, scratches, whatever it was. she longs for it since she couldn't handle the new love she was receiving, she had become accustomed to the abuse from her past lover edit: just thought of something. the horrors shes seen, i think she means the abuse that happened to her. the blood that was taken from her by her past lover haunts her and she cant stop thinking about it, cant stop seeing it, so she tries to claw out her eyes hoping the images will go away
You pause at 1:20 The US lyric says “staring at me” while the UK lyric says “Completely perverted” and if you put those two together you get “staring at me completely perverted” I didn’t see this at first and I’m glad I kind found it because it sounds/looks like a Easter egg 😅
@@iatemycat5320 they never properly credit the creators, so even if they got more people to know about this song, ppl wouldn’t have known where it’s from. it makes me sad, many creators are underrated
I saw a comment here somewhere that said the girl hanged herself because her center of gravity is her neck. I completely agree but i also just wanted to add that her aggressive jerking (time 2:20) happens when a person is hanged (in a way where they only die in 10-20mins, not instantly). Also because didnt die instantly could prove that she hung herself, not someone else hung her. Idk if im reading too much into this, but i just wanted to share this small theory :)
We nestle close together, simply staying by each other’s side, and thus time passes, the hands of the clock ticking by. But my body staunchly rejects such a gentle sort of happiness Alas. Alas. It’s like a gaping hole opened up in the empty void of the sky. The void of my body and my supposedly vulnerable heart assume a contorted shape, covered in old wounds. I am distorted. Please give me nothing but a bloodstained love. I feel as if I might crumble into a million pieces, out of sheer anxiety. That’s why I’m so pained. You’re so gentle, and in truth, I wish this could continue forever, but my heart refuses to accept this modest sense of happiness. I am twisted. There’s nothing else I can do. I try and try to put up with it, but I’m just covered in wounds, as if they belong to somebody else. Please give me a bloody kiss. I wish for there to be a broken substitute for myself. Please give me nothing but a bloodstained love. I feel as if I might crumble into bits and pieces, out of sheer anxiety. That’s why I’m so lonely. Evermore...
Lyrics: Side by side we lie, happy in each other's grasp Tending our together, never ever ticking hands Yet my mending heart, safely placed inside your arms Shakes and says it can't accept that gentle happiness Ah.. Ah, like a vacant sky recovered to be covered with a hole Both my defenseless core and empty form resemble such an air Where they're contorted and distorted, cut with cuts that never close Staring back at me Please leave me bleeding lovesick for the sickest sort of love On edge I bet, I bet "enough" can't be enough to hold me up No, it just keeps me hurting... Still, your gentle ways fill my heart and make me wish We could stay like this for forever and a day All the while my heart, set to set intent apart Panics and forbids that bit of modest happiness Hideously twisting with a feeling Can't ignore the horrors that I've seen Bandage and manage, yeah I'm trying But the cuts stick to my skin time after time Are they even mine...? Please only loan me kisses if your lips are dressed in red I need a break, a breaking substitute to live instead Please leave me bleeding lovesick for the sickest sort of love That kind of kind, I know it shows how broken I've become Yes, it's why I'll be lonely For life...
here's my personal take on it: she might be either being abused in her current relationship and believes that what she is receiving from her abusive partner is what she deserves. for example, i can say that at 3:39 , she wants to be left bleeding lovesick for the sickest sort of love, which tells me that the way she perceives love is by being heavily neglected or abused. that's what she considers "love" from her partner. and she might even be harming herself when her partner doesn't give her the "love" she desires, it almost seems like something she wants because she probably grew up that way or has some sort of childhood trauma leading up to this. that or she just feels heavily neglected and has to harm herself in order to get the love she wants or attention she wants. that is overall my take on it, no one has to agree but songs like these are fun to analyze because they have so much meaning to them and you can always say your opinion on it.
1:57 This basically confirms it I think as she says “To tell the truth because your so gentle” She’s in a healthier relationship 2:16 states that she is too used to the abuse she faced already though
I love how the songs switches from soothing to disturbing and how much it fits the meaning of the song being sung. The singer's voice is also really good and perfect for this. The PV is creepy as heck but it just... everything is perfect and got the message across pretty well. I love it!

Something about the way this video is animated is just so unsettling. Like, the way the girl moves just looks so unnatural in every way, I don't know... It's like some weird uncanny valley stuff goin' on and it's just so good man
Pretty sure the style is achieved by animating only using tweening? I’m not an expert though so take it with a grain of salt, haha.

It don't know why, but every Song from Kikuo just has such a special feeling to it, it goes from panic attack vibes to sad emotional parts or creepy parts.
I think this is a really rare kind of music, where you can just feel the whole emotions and anxietys with the characters in the Song.
I love it
Topolino Hofer I totally agree😔❤️
Hanatan's voice helps
Kikuo is a master with these sorts of songs, and another vocaloid producer who touched such sad subjects but made such magnificent songs with those subjects, (insanity meets harmony if you must,) is the late Wowaka. His most famous piece is 'Rolling Girl' which was a song about a girl who was driven to suicide by those around her. The vocals are beautiful gut the song is heart wrenching.
I like cool and depressed songs
This is what I like most about his song, like the music is really upbeat and happy sounding but his lyrics are total opposite.this is something which make his music really unique.
As someone who has been in an abusive relationship this song really does speak the truth on how it feels to try to find love again, when you're finally treated like a actual person again it's heartbreaking, almost too good to be true. You don't want to believe it's real, you've been put in a mindset of worthlessness
same here. this song seems painful to me. ik how my 1st lover horribly treated me and that's why this song is relatable. sadly, even tho after 2y i found friends and new relationship, i found myself being thankful for bare minimum with my new narcissistic lover. circle repeated itself again, cuz i was too much traumatised already, and i got abusive relationship again. bitter type of pain.
Yeah I agree with this. About a month ago I was in a very abusive relationship. A lot of people I talked to always to me to end it off but I never did because before with a previous relationship, I had been brought down to a state of worthlessness to where I had zero self respect. When I came into the one after that, the feeling of her actually treating me like a normal person had me paranoid. I was always paranoid of things but being with herat the start made it worst due to how greatly she treated me. It almost felt like it was too good to be ture. almost fake. But I psuhed those feelings aside and went with it. I had a lot of things wrong in my head from the ex before but this one made me feel happy around her. It was almost like a drug. If I wasn't near her for a second I felt like my life was crumbling and my anxiety was tearing me apart for the whole time of us being apart. She was just the sweetest person on the planet and I loved her for it. But it then just went downhill a few months into the relationship all of a sudden and that's where the verbal and mental abuse came in. She had anger issues. And bad ones at that. She would get angry at the smallest things. Some people would make her angry but shr would someowhat be patient with them. me on the other hand, regardless if I meant to or not (99% of the time I unkowingly do), she let's out the worst on to me. I get cursed at, insulted, you name it, she's done it. then she would threaten to break up. there were times she has broken up with me because of it but we always got back together. She wasnt as aggressive with it as my ex before her, but it did make things immensly worse. My anxiety and paranoia were just going haywire. In a way, she indirectly made me feel like I wasn't shit without her. I felt that if i wasn't with her, I would be in such a bad state to where I probably woulnd't be around. Obviously that never happened and i'm glad to have the people around me that helped me through the break up. I ruined friendships because of that relationship and I horrible for the friends that I ended up losing. Luckily we became friends again but the guilt just eats me alive every single time. I've just gotten better at hiding it so no one would worry. Idk why i rambled on about that... my bad 😆

@@hedevastated yeah, thats it. oh and hey hey weird name i dont wanna say! can i call you glory instead?
@@herrforehead6033 yes ofc!
The way she’s ‘grabbing her bangs’ (as some people in the comments said) is really meaningful to me, because sometimes when you’re panicking, you grasp at nothing. You grasp for any kind of leverage, because you feel as if you’re falling. I like how Kikuo added that detail.
The MV wasn't made by Kikuo lmfao
“Can’t ignore the horrors that I’ve seen.”
2:54 (subtitles)
By her “grabbing her bangs”/scratching her face, it could be a method of s3lf h@rm, trying to cover/blind her vision so she doesn’t see anymore trauma like that. My uncle has worked at a clinic and has had at least two patients forcefully sent in with scratches on their eyes and face, they’ve both said the same thing; (or similar, as trauma is not always the same) “I don’t want to get better. I don’t want to see anymore.”
It gives me chills whenever he tells that story. And it’s heartbreaking to hear that there are such coping mechanisms out there.
i'm autistic and i pull at my hair when i'm overwhelmed
Isn't she scratching her face tho
Severe Trauma survivor’s usually have the tendency of attempting to claw out their eyes bc they don’t want to see their trauma, which is why she’s scratching her face
Reading the comments, I can't help but disagree and say that perhaps the girl is someone whom is recovering from a previous abusive dependent relationship, thus why she 'cannot accept such a gentle love'. She's in a healthy relationship now and because her partner is treating her right, she doesn't know what to do because she's used to someone abusing her. Something like that.
I believe it is something like that. She's so used to her former toxic relationship that she can't accept the relationship she is in now. Another theory people say is that she hangs herself? One evidence is that she says she needs someone to substitute to live. To sum it up, she likes the feeling she has with her present lover but because she is so used to her former relationship, she ends up killing herself? Also, it's probably noticable that she's harming herself due to the fact that she can't accept being in a better relationship.
And she must be doing self damage to herself because she may feel the need to be abused
But i dont understand the part "are they even mine"
The translyrics on the video are a bit off. Not completely inaccurate: it captures the tone well and flows well enough, just lost the nuance in trying to make it rhyme.
Originally, the translated line by HnY was closer to "Like these wounds belong to someone else."
(I'm not good at interpreting lyrics, so have a go at it.)
I completely agree with your comment as I recognize myself in this song. I've always been mistreated in love and sadly: I got used to it. Now that I am in a wonderful and loving relationship I sometimes found myself wondering why my partner loves me, how could he be nice or even respectful towards me? I just can't accept it... I still think that I don't deserve happiness.
Hopefully I'm doing better, learning how to be happy again with the help of my precious love.
(And for anyone who's dealing with abuse, even if you are scared: Talk to someone who listens to you, Get some help. You can't let someone steal your body, your mind and your life. I've been there too: I believe in you, stay strong
And she's harming herself as a result of the previous damage maybe? Because she's scratching herself and wearing bandages in the video.
1:53 the voice crack is on spot. It shows more personality into the character that endured abuse.
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HER VOICE

Does anyone else think that the story depicts a girl who feels uncomfortable with having a healthy relationship because of abuse from her childhood instead of a relationship? I think the imagery (background in the beginning, outfit) resembles more of a child than adult.
@@cedar4539 In the beginning?
The beginning really does remind me of childhood innocence too, but then the background turns black which might represent abuse?
It could also be like Helicopter Parenting. By that I mean that they're keeping their eyes on the girl 24/7.
Honestly, that's kinda how I see it because I relate to it, a lot. I'm in a good relationship, I'm being treated well, but the love doesn't hurt like I always thought it was supposed to. Now I can't help wanting him to hurt me, because that's what love always was, to me. Pain. Helplessness. Submission. I don't know how to accept this gentleness.
The eyes reminded me of the paranoia abuse can cause, always expecting to be hurt.
That’s how I interpret it, then again I interpret songs like this to my personal experience, others might interpret differently (aah bad grammar sorry, it’s late in Germany, and I forgot how to speak English for a sec sorry)

I think the saddest part of this whole song for me is the fact that her center of gravity in the swaying is her neck. Meaning shes already hanging by her neck the whole time shes in the video.. Im not sure what this could symbolize, but its what runs chills down my spine every time i watch this
Edit: even more chilling, the only times she has most control over her body (ie, not hanging by her neck), shes having clearity moments in her brain which cause her to scratch at her face and cut herself. Absolutely chilling
that’s absolutely terrifying. i never even realized this
Gives a new meaning to "It's too late" and "I choose to be alone for eternity" and all those weird spasms, It could be post-mortal ones...

My analysis of the whole shabam:
The main character, the lady, is not currently in an abusive relationship; she is actually trying to recover from one. After the old unhealthy relationship, she has found herself a new lover, one that is kind and treats her gently.
However, her heart "shakes and says it can't accept that gentle happiness" (0:22), signifying that she is used to her old abusive relationship and something twisted inside of her is making her want to go back to that kind of love rather than accept the happiness she is currently feeling (maybe she is stuck in the mentality that she is not "worthy" of her current kind lover, which the tearing of her face and body signifies, or her past relationship could have twisted her to the extent that that is what she now sees as love).
The main character is struggling with her conflicting emotions of her past and present, leaving her filled with a feeling of emptiness, or a covered hole (0:52). Her consciousness of these conflicting feelings is seen through her internal monologue and her physical destruction of herself, maybe trying to make herself snap out of it or simply going insane from all these conflicting feelings she's having, doing anything to make them stop.
She can't stop this feeling of wanting to go back to her abusive relationship from consuming her, with enough not being enough (1:40). This want is constantly hurting her (1:55) in both senses that she wants it to stop, but what method will appease her? Being happy or going back? What can she do? What is she able to do? All these questions leave her going crazy, just wanting to get the pain and suffering out somehow and figure out an answer to her future.
She _wants_ her future to be a happy one with the kind lover, but her heart is "...set to set intent apart" (2:10), or in other words, set to push her away from what she is trying to do (her intent) which is to be happy. Her heart either does not want or accept the kindness she is now getting, causing her to panic and revert back to what she is used to, or her abusive relationship.
She knows she is broken, as can be seen from the rest of the video. She says she only wants kisses stained in red (3:17), which we can assume is blood maybe from her abuser abusing her or just from violence in general. In the end, this want to go back to what she's used to wins over, and she decides to leave her happy relationship. However, she does not return to the abusive one because she knows it's not good; it's just the thing that's keeping her apart from being happy. Because of this fact and her knowledge that she is too twisted to be happy, she is sent on being alone, "for life" (4:11).
As to the reason why she keeps hurting herself, maybe she feels she deserves it for her unnatural feelings toward abuse and how she isn't able to accept genuine love. Or her internal conflicts are just driving her mad enough that she does not want to feel anything anymore; just emptiness. Maybe it will be better for her that way.
I hope this helped some of you analyze the song, and if it didn't, then leave your opinion on what you thought it meant down below!
Thanks :))
I barely ever comment, but this, I feel as if this is exactly what it’s about. I agree with you fully!
let's add that she hangs herself at the end, or the whole song is the process between the moment she hangs herself, the agony and finally death
What a perfect, detailed explanation of this song.
Mindblow I don’t think that she hang herself. It’s just that she’s swaying. O_O

It was the same for everybody with you on DR 1 Maizono xD
Wait... people really thought of me that way? I don’t know what to say... ahaha...
We've been bamboozled
Love your user, as you can see by mine. And I agree.
One of the details that I love about this is song is the mood and imagery that it has, I’ve heard that this song is about an abusive relationship and so it makes sense the way that at the start the singing and imagery is calm (like on the start of a relationship, when it’s all lovely and happy) and then it slowly turns dark and uncomfortable (when the relationship is not what you expected and it ended up being a horrible experience)
i'd also like to think the bandage on the OC's face that keeps appearing since the song gets darker are victim trying to not see what's going on and ignore it until the wounds are too bad so the bandage falls off by itself
That's exactly how it feels when I listen to this. Everything from my previous relationship flashed into my head and all i could do was just cry. it was very traumatic, especially since I've been in two abusive relationships back to back. Started off great. Ended miserably.
it’s about getting into a loving relationship after being used to abuse and being unable to understand how it works
@@cursed_f0r_life._
I never saw the bandages fall off
They actually stayed
And I think it conveys how the damage cannot be fixed as she tries to get rid of the pain(aka the bandages)
this literally screams "too used to abusive relationship I'm gonna hurt myself now because I don't know how to react to this kind of relationship and even though you love me and I love you I don't love myself bandage bandage scars blood sadness emotionally exhausted"

I saw this yesterday and thought to myself, “I’m never watching this again.”
Today, I felt an odd urge to listen to some kikuo music and lo and behold, this song was the first thing on my recommended.
We’re too far in, y’all. There is no escape.
TheCheesecakeCalico _ i mean it’s a scary video but goddamn this song is good
I said to myself ım not watching these songs again but ı keep listening ı dunno why, TwT
:((
My recommendations rn is a lot of kikuo and a sprinkle of danganronpa 😺
I'm having an earworm. This song sticks in my head. Somehow, the voice of the lady in the song soothes me.
this is so damn heartwrenching.. the way the girl says "please" when asking for an abusive love makes it seem like she really believes that love should be that way.. no kindness and no happiness...only suffering. the end made me assume that it drove her insane to the point that she killed herself.. this song has my heart.
god is real and he is making collabs with hanatan

The lyrics, those inhuman movements she does, the unsettling musical parts, the eyes that stares at her while she falls in despair. All in this song is the perfection of having a mental breakdown for an overwhelming sadness.

He estado investigando todas las canciones que ha tenido kikuo, y tal vez no me guste alguna, pero verdaderamente no he encontrado ninguna canción mala, lo cual es bastante sorprendente...
This is one of the creepiest MVs I've ever seen in a Kikuo song.
And I'm completely in love with it.
eh imo this one isn't so creepy
for me the creepiest is the 'chiri chiri juso' vid... idk i remember my first time watching that and i just felt really, really uncomfortable, the visuals and the music..
@@ghostscales8120 oh well I guess everyone has their definition of creepiness, I find the MV of this song creepy , and the one of chiri chiri judo weird but not creepy.
I think its I'm sorry I'm sorry.
what i think is most creepy about it is that her head and body just keep like twitching
The song is meant to leave you with a sense of unease and helplessness because that is what most people feel like directly after escaping long term abuse. If they’re self destructive they’ll want to be comfortable and happy but their emotions are still likely volatile after the previous relationship and being self destructive doesn’t go well with unpredictable emotional swings. Trust issues seems to get the big green checkmark too.
She’s shown developing scars because she’s just now starting to process the trauma that she went through with all the emotional weight attached. It’s meant to be representative of how she feels she’s falling apart and needs something even temporary just to bring her back out of it.
It’s really hard to explain but when you’re just out of that situation and you’re emotionally volatile one moment you’ll be completely fine, you’ll start to feel your mood lowering almost as if your happiness is all slipping away, and the next moment you’ll be lashing out at yourself and anyone you see as a threat.
I personally understand all of those feelings and I can confirm the most likely outcome was suicide. When you’re without hope and constantly panicking about everything because you feel like you’ve lost your grip on reality (that the reality that you have lived is not normal or okay) and all the processing and lonely nights crying feeling like everyone would be better off if you just ended everything and the pain would all be over.
I personally understand every last bit of it, i’ve lived it and i’m just now moving away from the painful process of realization into the part where I think all of the things over that I can still remember and find a way through all of it.
For those of you who resonate as strongly as I do with this song I hope your recovery is coming along well and just know no matter what that you are never alone, we all love you and we’ll all be here for you when you’re in your darkest moments and you just need someone to reach out to, talk to, share some fun jokes with, or just sit in the presence of another to be comfortable.
No one had ever done that for me and I felt like less than absolutely nothing so I want to give you that reassurance that I never felt from reading those stupid ‘everything gets better u just gotta grit ur teeth and take it’ inspirational quotes. I understand, I’ll tell you right now, no matter how long it hurts just push forward through all that emotional fog even if it takes days or years even when you’re at the edge of nothing remember you’ve come this far and remember that you cannot give up after everything. If you need it take a break however long you need, just remember that you’re important, everyone loves you even when you doubt that love someone who loves you will never want to break you. And one day I promise if you do just try to hold on you’ll look back, like I am right now, and you’ll realize, just as I have here, that the fog clears slowly as you go and one day you’ll see clearly again, maybe not perfect but clear.
Thank you for making this comment, genuinely. I relate to most of this, and even tho I believe my tramua is very small, it did help me realize how much it still affects me
Thank you so much for writing this, my emotionally abusive father just passed away and so i am stuck in this hazy part of my life where the lack of constant abuse makes me terrified
i hate it so much its like i need it in my life that without the trauma and constant pain i am nothing
so it means a lot. to hear this from somebody else. i thought for so long i was alone but its extremely comforting to know i am not
@@username-userr - I know the pain of an empathy head and heart and i’m still struggling with depression and panic disorder.
But it gets easier as it goes. I know not to tell someone in recovery that it just gets better, it takes some work and time, and your feelings about all of this should never be invalidated.
Once you start to come out again you’ll start to realize who you want to be as a person and I hope you’ll have someone in your life to be there when you’re down.
I wish you well, no matter what you’re going through know you aren’t alone and if you need to talk through that stuff there’s people who understand and who will listen.
@@cinderheartmeow6032 thank you and i wish you well too, it allmeans a lot and hopefully i can look back on this part of my life and let out a sigh of relief that it is over
I think the eyes mean she’s paranoid from all the abuse-or idk self harming ^w^
I really love how you can almost tell what its about by just looking at the mv, it is nice, pastel and pink covered in flowers when it suddenly fades into a rotted tile. In the first part of the lyrics when the setting chamges it says "Aah, like a pit opened in the empty void that is the sky" as we begin to see the tile start to crumble, as if opening something new. The second portion is "my husk of a body and heart that should be tender are" as she starts twitching and grabbing at/itching her fave, as if shes uncomfortable in her skin. "Distorted forms covered with old wounds" is the next part, she begins to do a motion that somewhat looks like shes crying or trying to cry, as if shes in pain, she also vegins twitching more here as if she were being distorted, and right before the next part of the lyric, a bandage appears over her right eye. The next lyric being "completely perverted" as she suddenly calms down and starts swaying, as if the enjoys the sexual attention. And then the lyric "please only give me love that is dripping with blood" continues, as she continues to grab at her face and another bandage appears on her left arm, she quickly appears closer to the screen as the rotted tile fades to a blood red and the edges of the screen are faded with black while tons of blood drips down behind her, she is also much more twitchy here, possibly the most twitchy she gets in the entire mv, the blood red background give us a hint to the lyrics as dose the bandage on her arm, but how she is panicing is rather unsettling, just as how the voice and bgm are in this part, the following lyric is "anxiety has me as if im crumbling to bits" the shakiness/panicing is a very obvious sign of the anxiety, but instead of the crubling background like before, instead, its shaking violently, as if someone was trying to make it crumble, same goes for the next lyric "and its so excruciating" as another bandage appears over her other eye, and the entre mv, vocals, and bgm start to calm down, as if she finds it comforting, the regular brown tile is back and she begins swaying again as the following lyric appears; "to tell the truth, because youre so gentle" as if she finds nothung wrong with how she is being hurt, and how she finds abuse to be 'gentle' "i wish this could go on forever" is the next lyric, possibly further proving my point in how she finds comfort to the sexual attention. "This tiny bit of happiness - my heart is unable to accept it" possivly trying to say that she does not know true love, and only knows abuse and torture, after that lyric, the bgm starts to get violent again and she starts twitching once more, getting more and more extream with every twitch, "the fact is, im completely twisted" the song says next, as she starts to do the crying motion again, now im not sure if she means 'twisted' in a mental way, or a physical way, as she does state many times that she "enjoys the pain"in some ways, but whenever she twitches, her head if often brought down to her stomach, and her arms flail while her body begins to distort. Some of the rotting tiles begin to fall. "The fact is nothing can be done" she begins twitching again, while doing the same crying motion. "Endure it. Endure it" more tiles begin to fall and she starts violently twitching again, as if shes panicing once more. "Im so riddled with scars its like im a different person" can further prove that she sees nothing wrong with the abuses that shes receiving, instead caring about her appearance. Yet by then she stops twitching and she finally puts her arms back down to her sides and keeps swaying, until the entire song/mv becomes violent again, she comes closer to the screen and grabs at her face again, revealing that now both or her arms are badaged, but the different thing about this outburst of the mv is now there are eyes peeking out from the other side of the tile "please give me kisses smeared with blood" proving how she views love as something violent. "Im broken. I desperately want a substitute in my place"the eyes are twitching just as she is, as if they were looking for something in a panicked way "please give me love that is dripping in blood" as the blood in the backround starts pouring again. "Anxiety has me as if im being broken apart to pieces" she is still grabbing at her face. The blood starts dripping faster. "And so i am lonely" possibly stating that her abuser hes left her for good since she cant keep herself together(reference to another lyric) "forever more" the mv starts calmjng down, her entire fave is bandaged up and she puts her arms back down, she eyes dissappear and she begings swaimg again as the mv moves down to show her bandaged legs
Now, i saw a comment that said that she was swaying whenever she calmed down because she jad already hung herself before the song/mv even takes place, i really love this. The end portion where it shows as low as her ankles
This interpretation is making me think this is the same character featured in ごめんねえごめんえね.
Although this could be about a different person considering ごめんねごめんね is based around a little girl who was r4p3d and abused by specifically her father, there IS a possibility it could be her, because I don't think Kikuo/Kikuohana confirmed the meaning behind it. People all have different perceptions of this song.

I must vent a moment;
A few months back, around 5, I ended a year long relationship ship with a 27 year old man. He is the most horrible man I know.
I won't say my age, but I am still a minor.
I met this boy a month after, and we've been in a relationship for three months now. I must say, I feel safe with him, and I'm so happy, but I simply can't forget what happened to me and it makes me feel weird.
I simply cannot explain how this video and song makes me feel.

She looks like Armen (I think that's how you spell his name) from Attack on Titan
Armin, but yea your kinda right ;)
Now I can’t unsee see it oh god
Lmao
I think the rubbing and scratching on her face is a metaphor for self harm, and how she says she can’t accept her partners gentle love because maybe she thinks she doesn’t deserve happiness and that’s why she hurts herself
it isn't a metaphor, it is self harm
Here is a better translation:
We're just simply laying side by side
The hands of the clock keep ticking on
But such a warm happiness
Is something my body can't accept.
Like a gaping hole in the void of the sky
Is my body similarly empty and my heart that should be fragile
Contorts into a shape filled with old wounds.
I am so horribly twisted....
Please only give me a bloody love
It feels like my anxiety is tearing me into a thousand pieces
That's why
It keeps hurting....
Because you're so gentle,
I wish this would last forever
But such a modest happiness
Is something my heart staunchly rejects.
I am so terribly twisted....
There's no helping it.....
Bear with it, bear with it....
But I'm covered in wounds as if they belong to someone else.
Please give me a blood-stained kiss
I want a broken substitute to take over for me
Please only give me a bloody love
My anxiety is tearing me apart
That's why
I'll stay lonely....
Forever

This seems like the middle of I'm Sorry I'm Sorry, where she gets in a relationship with a male who doesn't abuse her and r4p3 her, which her father did, which she mistook for "love". So she thinks the male doesn't love her.

I think the background is actually her face and whenever she's scratching or covering it the back shows what she's doing to herself,The last part probably was her skin falling apart due to self harm and then her face is fully covered in the bandages.
P.S the skin goes back to normal because she's healing again,but she doesn't want that because she's too used to being hurt

Let’s say this person in the song is in an abusive relationship but refuses to believe because of the good partsTheir partner hurts,scars and causes more pain then ever but somehow get them to stay by always acting like the good guy in the end. She refuses to accept that “gentle happiness” because she knows it to be all fake but still doesn’t know how to escape and has nobody to run to. She keeps herself into believing that the abuse isn’t abuse and she has to take it to have the “good times” so she tries to make herself enjoy the pain too.
i agree, thats what i was thinking also
Basically gaslighting
every of there songs always reminds me cp. The character depicted is of a pretty doll who looks like a child, innocent and pretty. Later horrendous stuff happens to her, and she gets scared. The scars never healed, depicting from the character. I also wanna introduce the idea od catabolism. Most songs I hear like these always tie back to r@pe, abuse, child neglect, or cannibalism. Shit that is not widely talked about in Japan's society.

This video is honestly brilliant, the way she starts off “clean” at first and ridden of bandages but as time goes on and she continues to scratch her face and cry, the bandages completely take over her body and she can’t even see because of the bandage over her eyes
this song hits so much differently when it actually is what you're going through, it really never ends, does it?
It will end. Everything is gonna be better and you’re gonna feel happy, in this world there are 7 billion people and out of them there is at least 100 people who would actually die for you. Do stuff that makes you feel good, get a hobby. Even at some times having your favorite meal in the middle of the day while listening to your favorite songs can help make you happy. Make yourself a handmade gift in your favorite color, buy gifts for yourself, draw what you’re feeling right now and burn the paper as if your burning those feelings, write your feelings in one word on a balloon and pop it or if it’s helium let it go in the sky. There are accounts you can vent to in Instagram, you can try them. If you don’t have a pet get yourself one if you can, they really make you forget about all the problems you have by loving you as a thanks for taking care of them. And never forget to love yourself, after all, this is you who’s been worrying about you and your feelings and wishing for them to go. Say “thank you me” to yourself in the mirror and smile. It will be alright. You will be happy again soon
Hopefully it ends soon, for both of us and everyone else.
We don't really know what they're going through tho?

別人のような 傷跡 だらけです
血まみれの 口づけをください
壊れた ヒトガワリが 欲しいの
血だらけの 愛だけをください
不安で バラバラに 砕けそう
だから 寂しいよ ずっと
ありがとうございます！
Translated that and I got this:
Cuddle up and stay by my side
The hand of the clock advances
Warmth that happiness
My body can not accept
Ah
Ah
It looks like a hole in the sky of Kara's sky
Kara's body should be fragile
An irregular shape full of old wounds
It is distorted
Please give me only the blood full of blood
I'm afraid I will crack shatter in anxiety
So do not panic
So easy that so
I want you to continue forever
This modest happiness
I can not accept my heart
It is twitching
It can not be helped
Be patient and endure
There are lots of scars like another person
Please give me a bloody kiss.
I want a broken human goat.
Please give me only the blood full of blood
I'm afraid to break apart with uneasiness
That's why I'm lonesome.

助かります！

This reminds me of the game called "my eyes deceive." It's a game where you play as a young girl trapped in a man's basement, but she's been there all her life. She believes the man to be her father, and he might be, but he makes her take an unknown medication every night. She has nightmares as she sleeps, and the only things she eats are things in the paper bag that appear every morning. By the end of the game, in the bad ending, the girl wakes up... And this line appears on a black screen: "Why is my belly all big and round?" I will never forget that experience and feel like crying every time I think about it.
OMG I KNOW THAT GAME IT'S SO DISGUSTING AND SAD
Ikr??? When I was going through it it took me a second to realize what was happening but when I did I instantly started crying
I been abused all my life, not sexually but mentally and psychology by my family. I have never noticed it before but for some years I'm noticing that I feel comfortable around abusive people, fights and toxicity. People who show kindness and try to be gentle with me scare me. I'm 24, educated, recently got a job with residence and it was a dream come true because I've been trying to escape all my life but when I got there, I got so scared by the respect and kindness they showed me. I couldn't sleep and was trembling and my anxiety came all over me telling me they would do something terrible to me and ran away just after three days and came back to my abusers.
I still live in this house where all I get is pain, insults and humiliation but I feel safe. I wanna runaway, I cry ever night and regret every morning but there's nothing I can do. I know I have to get out of it but now I'm unable to find a job with residence. These kind of chances come once in a lifetime for messed up fated people like me. I don't what to do.
I'm not much help but I know exactly what you mean. I've been in a emotionally and mentally abusive household for years as well. Whenever someone says something kind it feels wrong to me, it makes me panic because i expect an insult and it never comes. I've had to run out of a place to cry in my car because someone got me a sandwich or something. Its incredible what you can train someone to do over years.
It's not much but I hope I could at least show that you aren't alone. You can do this.
Ive found writing down a list of things to keep fighting for helps a little, even if its somethings small like a certain tree you like to look at or a food you like. Just anything that brings you joy. I try to refresh it every other week if I can and tack it on the ceiling above my bed, and force myself to read it when I wake up. Just anything to keep myself going until the end of the day. I know its not much but I hope it does something. You got this
I'm very bad with words so I apologize in advance if what I'm saying don't make sense.
I used to be scared of enjoying the good things in life because it feels like something bad is gonna happen and because of that, I spent my pre-teen years being gloomy to avoid getting hurt. Looking back at it, I hurted myself more by avoiding them TvT
And then, I remember this saying my former psychologist told me, "if there are good things, bad things are bound to happen to balance things up or how good things never last, so does bad things. Everything is temporary. A second can feel like forever whilst 1 hour can feel like one second. What I'm trying to say is,,,
Try to enjoy/appreciate the good moments you have without anticipating the bad ones too much. Because if you do, you'll end up spending your remaining good time worrying about the bad stuff. Thats why, if possible, don't worry too much. Easier said than done but you'll never know right? You've made it this far in your life, wouldn't it be sad for you to just abandon your hardwork? But also, nothing wrong with restarting everythinh. Its a matter of your comfort. If the bad comes down to bad, then let it happen, and figure things out together so you can get by the gloomy moments faster!! I hope it makes semse 😓
Shit this sounds kinda bad you gotta find another place.
Reading this made myself realize I feel the exact same way, it’s a mest up comfort way, staying with your abuser or keeping contact with them although you know it’s wrong and it’s at the same time eating you away but it’s all you’ve ever known, it’s scary and terrifying but also you can’t break away from it. A month ago my ex from my freshman year (I’m going to be a senior now) recently reached out to me to apologize and try having a friendship and I accepted because i had this weird sense of comfort in still wanting to be connected to them because I myself am a neglected child so having this anttention and abuse was comforting in a mest up way. My ex basically SA me and used my trauma and fear of abandonment against me in doing things that were very uncomfortable for me but I thought in the back of my head, this is ok..it’s what love is, isn’t it?
To you, my fellow human, I hope you're doing well. I don't know how I can be of much help but I do know you need to seek medical counseling in order to be better. And that you need to learn how to trust again. In other people's kindness and in yourself. It will take some time and it won't be easy but it's all part of the process. I'm rooting for you.

I broke up with a sociopath 7 months ago. I'm going to therapy because he love bombed me, then mistreated me, made me believe i was crazy, a liar, a bad girlfriend. He manipulated me, i stopped eating, i stopped seeing my friends, i barely talked to my family and left school, he told me he was the only person in the world that could understand me and that would ever love me. When i started feeling bored and frustrated, i decided to go to college and starting to hang out with my classmates. He left me the day the covid quarantine started, the told me i was crazy, a liar, a bitch and blocked me everywhere. I still crave for love and affection, but i also feel that I don't deserve to be loved and have to be punished for being bad. This song relates so bad, I don't only feel this way with guys who flirt with me, but also when my friends or family are complimenting me, i feel that they're lying and are going to hurt me terribly.
I'm sorry if my redaction is wrong, english's not my first language, i just needed to speak about this, it hurts a fucking lot, i feel like i will never recover from this.
Thank you so much for your support, you're really sweet, i cried while reading your response, i hope you have a great day, again, thank you❤️
I really feel you even. Being in love is something I'm terrified with because of the possible outcomes.
I really understand. I didn't lived the same things, but I feel the same.. I can't feel only happy when someone compliment me. It hurts. It hurts a lot, to know too that I can't feel happy in those moments.
Sorry for my English too, I'm french and I didn't used Google Translation so it's not perfect.
I hope you will one day feel better, really.
@@l.oubliable thank you Samarah, I hope you feel better soon too
you weren’t dating a sociopath. don’t throw people with cluster b disorders under the bus when talking about an abusive person.

Has anybody else noticed that at the end when she sways, it kinda looks like a hung body without the noose? Just wondering...

Now i can't unsee it...
I was actually coming here from Oktavia's cover to see if anyone else had noticed it.

I'm just gonna comment here so I can come back when I want to, thanku!
Kikuo's songs scare me because it reflects my anxiety 😭
Same😭
i dont know how i find kikuo,i cant pick up a feeling when i listen to his songs,but im sure i know how im feeling,its weird.i guess i find his songs comforting though??
Yeah
not a real g
real g do not get scared with stupid anime videos
Same-
to me, i think this is a girl first being into a relationship after being in an abusive one. she speaks that she basically cant handle sweet, kind love and prefers the sickest sort of love. at 3:50 she says "i know it shows how broken i've become" which i think means shes been abused, been broken down, been left. she then proceeds to say "yes, it's why ill be lonely" since she cant handle love. i think it becomes to much for her to handle, the true love, and hangs herself
one thing to add, i think shes hurting herself because she longs for the abuse she got in her past relationship. bruises, cuts, scratches, whatever it was. she longs for it since she couldn't handle the new love she was receiving, she had become accustomed to the abuse from her past lover
edit: just thought of something. the horrors shes seen, i think she means the abuse that happened to her. the blood that was taken from her by her past lover haunts her and she cant stop thinking about it, cant stop seeing it, so she tries to claw out her eyes hoping the images will go away
That explains why eyes are looking at her and why she keeps on clawing at them.
You pause at 1:20 The US lyric says “staring at me” while the UK lyric says “Completely perverted” and if you put those two together you get “staring at me completely perverted” I didn’t see this at first and I’m glad I kind found it because it sounds/looks like a Easter egg 😅
En español dice "y no se como aliviarme.... mi cuerpo pide un amlr que sangre haría correr"
@@fxd894Honestamente las versiones en español están un poco mal traducidas lol
3:27 When that wall of flesh appeared I started vibing. This song is pretty good also the lyrics and her movement is unsettling.
I kinda hope this song doesn’t get on Tiktok :| like I don’t wanna gatekeep but Tiktok doesn’t deserve this song it’s too good ugh
Agreed
I agree
Preach
I think it should. That way more people will know the song.
HOWEVER I dont want them to change the meaning or story behind it, like Aishite or Gomene
@@iatemycat5320 they never properly credit the creators, so even if they got more people to know about this song, ppl wouldn’t have known where it’s from. it makes me sad, many creators are underrated
The singers voice is filled with so much emotion though
Her goddess voice.. is so heavenly.. 😭
I want her voice so much
She looks like the girl from "I'm sorry I'm sorry".....
ikr
Omg, yes

At 2:23 when her body starts to 'glitch' it kind of looks like she's being hit
Man, your right.
DUDE THAT MAKES THE MESSAGE EVEN MORE EXPLICT
BRO YOU'RE RIGHT
shes twitching
I saw a comment here somewhere that said the girl hanged herself because her center of gravity is her neck. I completely agree but i also just wanted to add that her aggressive jerking (time 2:20) happens when a person is hanged (in a way where they only die in 10-20mins, not instantly). Also because didnt die instantly could prove that she hung herself, not someone else hung her.
Idk if im reading too much into this, but i just wanted to share this small theory :)
We nestle close together, simply staying by each other’s side,
and thus time passes, the hands of the clock ticking by.
But my body staunchly rejects
such a gentle sort of happiness
Alas.
Alas.
It’s like a gaping hole opened up in the empty void of the sky.
The void of my body and my supposedly vulnerable heart
assume a contorted shape, covered in old wounds.
I am distorted.
Please give me nothing but a bloodstained love.
I feel as if I might crumble into a million pieces, out of sheer anxiety.
That’s why I’m so pained.
You’re so gentle, and in truth,
I wish this could continue forever,
but my heart refuses to accept
this modest sense of happiness.
I am twisted.
There’s nothing else I can do.
I try and try to put up with it,
but I’m just covered in wounds, as if they belong to somebody else.
Please give me a bloody kiss.
I wish for there to be a broken substitute for myself.
Please give me nothing but a bloodstained love.
I feel as if I might crumble into bits and pieces, out of sheer anxiety.
That’s why I’m so lonely. Evermore...
*Well damn.*
People are saying it's about how she's been abused but maybe she wants to be abused?
Siren Yeah. Reminds me of I’m Sorry I’m Sorry
Don’t worry buddy. We got captions!

2:46 reminds me of angel beats for some reason
Lyrics:
Side by side we lie, happy in each other's grasp
Tending our together, never ever ticking hands
Yet my mending heart, safely placed inside your arms
Shakes and says it can't accept that gentle happiness
Ah..
Ah, like a vacant sky recovered to be covered with a hole
Both my defenseless core and empty form resemble such an air
Where they're contorted and distorted, cut with cuts that never close
Staring back at me
Please leave me bleeding lovesick for the sickest sort of love
On edge I bet, I bet "enough" can't be enough to hold me up
No, it just keeps me hurting...
Still, your gentle ways fill my heart and make me wish
We could stay like this for forever and a day
All the while my heart, set to set intent apart
Panics and forbids that bit of modest happiness
Hideously twisting with a feeling
Can't ignore the horrors that I've seen
Bandage and manage, yeah I'm trying
But the cuts stick to my skin time after time
Are they even mine...?
Please only loan me kisses if your lips are dressed in red
I need a break, a breaking substitute to live instead
Please leave me bleeding lovesick for the sickest sort of love
That kind of kind, I know it shows how broken I've become
Yes, it's why I'll be lonely
For life...
Oh, I think that’s the American English option
@@chemii.OH MY GOD I DIDNT KNOW TYSM😭😭 I thought he just updated them
this is more deep than the united kingdom subtitles 🥲
here's my personal take on it: she might be either being abused in her current relationship and believes that what she is receiving from her abusive partner is what she deserves. for example, i can say that at 3:39 , she wants to be left bleeding lovesick for the sickest sort of love, which tells me that the way she perceives love is by being heavily neglected or abused. that's what she considers "love" from her partner. and she might even be harming herself when her partner doesn't give her the "love" she desires, it almost seems like something she wants because she probably grew up that way or has some sort of childhood trauma leading up to this. that or she just feels heavily neglected and has to harm herself in order to get the love she wants or attention she wants. that is overall my take on it, no one has to agree but songs like these are fun to analyze because they have so much meaning to them and you can always say your opinion on it.
That's new I haven't heard that one nice job I don't think I could have come up with that 😁
1:57 This basically confirms it I think as she says “To tell the truth because your so gentle” She’s in a healthier relationship 2:16 states that she is too used to the abuse she faced already though
So... If the girl from Gommene gommene was still alive after the gang gr@pe?

I love how the songs switches from soothing to disturbing and how much it fits the meaning of the song being sung. The singer's voice is also really good and perfect for this. The PV is creepy as heck but it just... everything is perfect and got the message across pretty well. I love it!
