Klee
サカナクション Lyrics

The lyrics to サカナクション's song Klee describe the struggle of an individual artist, who stacks unread books and writes poetry alone. The artist self-diagnoses with ennui, blaming it for his struggles, and feels the need to push himself past his limits. The artist also fears being laughed at by unknown people who point fingers at him, and as a result, he begins to conform to their standards. Furthermore, the artist continually writes and revises his work late at night, leading to him feeling like he has become "smeared" or "eroded" by the process. Despite this, the artist continues to create with the hope of conveying something intangible and unseen through his words, using his ennui as a source of inspiration and sustenance for survival.

Overall, the lyrics of Klee reflect on the challenges of the artistic process and the pressure an artist feels to conform to societal standards of success. They highlight the importance of individuality and self-discovery as a means of finding purpose and creative drive in the face of criticism and the struggle to push past personal limits.
