ラテラリティ
やなぎなぎ Lyrics

The lyrics of やなぎなぎ's song ラテラリティ speak to a sense of longing and the struggle to connect with someone on a deeper level. The opening lines describe a voice of lamentation that fades away, leaving the singer feeling abandoned. It is then revealed that the person is creating their own world, a country of their own, where they are asking themselves what colors and scents would be present in the half-world. They speak of a palette that no one else can see, layering paint on top of words and laughing, questioning why even when they are by someone's side, they cannot read the emotions in their heart. There is a desire to be understood, to share the same feelings, and if not possible, to take away one side of the equation.

The next verse continues with the theme of escapism, where the singer describes retreating to their own country, escaping from the overwhelming crowds. They reveal the hidden depths of their heart, where raindrops nurture transparent flowers and coincidences continue to stack upon each other. They mention that people call this a miracle. However, they lack the courage to open the box that holds their remaining screams. They feel the need to dissolve into the air and cling to a gentle connection. The singer realizes that they have hidden a momentary lie within themselves, burying their true self deep within them. They then venture into the eternal corridor, where only their right eye can perceive what lies ahead.

The last section refers to an endless and vibrant parade of memories, where admiration, pity, and mockery blend together. They express a longing to go back to a time before the crossroads of life appeared, imploring a higher power not to make them realize that they cannot share the same feelings. They want to stay by someone's side and remove the tangled thoughts that separate them. Even if they wish so deeply, if they cannot see the same world, they express a desire to become half of the other person.
