見て
森高千里 Lyrics

The lyrics to 森高千里's song 見て (Mite - Look at Me) are an appeal to the listener to truly see and understand the singer. She begins by lamenting that she is still not good enough despite being seen, due to being riddled with mistakes and misunderstandings. The singer acknowledges that the listeners' interest in her is appreciated but that it comes with unwanted interference. She cannot say this clearly to them, though, and asks them to understand that it is a dilemma - she is grateful for their attention but it is also cumbersome.

The second verse then decries the lack of objective observation - they are mistaken because they jump to conclusions and there is no thorough observation to back up their judgment. The singer invites them to experience it from her perspective or to look at her more closely. The bridge returns to the theme of the listeners' uninvited meddling that reveals an underlying issue - the ones who tend to be critical or condescending of her are often the ones who have insecurities of their own. The singer is exasperated by this manipulation and asks them to stop looking at themselves and to listen to her instead.

Overall, the song is a plea for genuine understanding and attention. The singer is saying that it is not enough just to look at her, but that they must look beyond their assumptions and really see her. The lyrics also suggest that it is a two-way street - the listeners should be objective and the singer should be honest about their relationship.
