Say
8otto Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "Say" by 8otto. The lyrics seem to reflect on a personal sense of lacking in maternal instincts. The lines "足りなかったのは 俺の母性" (Tarinakatta no wa ore no bosei) translate to "What was lacking was my maternity." This suggests a feeling of inadequacy or regret in not embodying the nurturing nature typically associated with motherhood. The following line continues with "散りかけたのは 悪い間のせい" (Chirikaketa no wa warui ma no sei), meaning "The scattered parts were the fault of the bad intervals." This could reference a period of confusion or difficulty that caused things to come apart or fall apart.

The chorus maintains a longing for connection and a desire for someone, as the lyrics say "Darling I want you 土曜のせい" (Darling I want you doyō no sei), which translates to "Darling I want you, because it's Saturday." This implies a desire for companionship or love on a specific day, adding a touch of whimsy to the song. The lyrics also mention "RADIOのせい" (RADIO no sei), meaning "because of the radio," which could suggest a desire to be heard or to communicate through music.

The lyrics continue to express a sense of stagnation, stating "動かなかったのは 俺の個性" (Ugokanakatta no wa ore no kosei), translating to "What didn't move was my individuality." This line could reflect a feeling of being stuck or unable to fully express oneself due to personal limitations. The following line mirrors the earlier verse, noting that "散りかけたのは 悪い間のせい" (Chirikaketa no wa warui ma no sei), "The scattered parts were the fault of the bad intervals." This repetition reinforces the idea that there are disruptive or challenging elements that contribute to a sense of disarray or fragmentation.

Through these lyrics, the artist seems to be expressing a sense of personal struggle and longing. The desire for connection, self-expression, and understanding is woven throughout the song. The references to maternal instincts, radio, and Saturday add layers of meaning and emotion, creating a heartfelt plea for companionship and fulfillment.
