化物
星野源 Lyrics

The lyrics of 星野源's song 化物 (Bakemono) convey a sense of isolation and frustration, while also expressing a desire for change and transformation. The singer feels overwhelmed by the daily struggles and monotony of life, metaphorically comparing them to raindrops falling into their hands. They hide this weariness in their eyes as they retreat to their home alone until another day begins. In the solitude of the bathroom, their heart starts to stir with a growing restlessness.

The lyrics also speak to a yearning for someone to hear their voice. This voice represents their inner turmoil and desires, resonating throughout their entire body. They hope that this tumultuous cry will bring a new tomorrow, lifting them up from the depths of despair. The mundane days pass by without any significant change, slowly killing their spirit. However, they still feel a sense of impending reversal, a premonition of a counterattack against this unfulfilling existence.

Yet, in the current moment, their voice goes unheard. They continue to struggle within themselves, longing for their dreams to come true. If they can wish to become what they envision, a new version of themselves will emerge from the depths of hell. The lyrics passionately implore someone to listen, as this voice still reverberates throughout their body. They believe that if their aspirations become reality, it will bring a new tomorrow and raise them up from the abyss. They urge someone to lift up the unknown version of themselves.
