バックグラウンド
ACIDMAN Lyrics

The lyrics to "バックグラウンド" by ACIDMAN describe a state of being lost in the chaotic and distorted sounds of modern life, represented by the "狂う拡張リズム" and "歪む結晶ノイズ" (madly expanding rhythms and distorted crystalline noise). The singer tries to pretend he can't hear it, while the person closest to him holds onto the dream that they first envisioned in the midst of it all. The chorus repeats the idea of hiding in the background, breathing in the background, and listening to the bell that rings in the background to provide answers.

The song seems to be a commentary on the overwhelming and disorienting nature of modern society, which sometimes requires people to tune out in order to survive. The repeated phrase "バックグラウンドに隠れて" (hiding in the background) suggests a desire to escape from the noise and confusion, but also a recognition that it's impossible to completely avoid. The reference to the bell in the background providing answers is intriguing: perhaps it represents a call to mindfulness or a spiritual solution to the problem of being lost in the chaos.
