LASTICA
カラス Lyrics

The lyrics of カラス's song LASTICA express a feeling of frustration and despair, conveyed through images of damaged and unclean objects in nature, such as the "dirty" sunflowers that are irritated with the sun and the "broken" and gloomy eyes that now see light. The singer seems to be addressing a lover who is worried about the singer's well-being in this world, which is stained by impurity. The singer reveals their true feelings to the lover, that they have loved them deeply all along. The chorus, "LASTICA," appears to suggest a desire for escape from this impure world with the lover, as the singer asks to be taken to "the end of the night" or "the end of the world."

The reference to the "十六夜" or "Izayoi" is to the 16th day of the lunar month, a day considered particularly beautiful and romantic in Japan. The "不知火" or "Shiranui" mentioned in the lyrics is a type of mysterious glowing flame that appears over bodies of water, which has been a popular theme in Japanese literature and folklore. By invoking these poetic and romantic images, the singer is perhaps suggesting that by leaving this world, they can go to a place where their love can exist purely without the corruption of the world.
