メッセージ
Boris Lyrics

The lyrics of Boris's song メッセージ (Message) talks about the pattern of manipulation and abuse in a toxic relationship. The singer talks about the frustration of being ignored even when they try to communicate through the metaphor of a meter pointing towards "ignore". They are trying to provoke a reaction from their partner by aiming for the same vulnerable spot, but their efforts are laughed at. The singer is determined to keep being manipulative by "pouring" messages into the system of their partner, who is sweating with nervousness. The chorus "笑っているんだ" (I'm just laughing) reveals the attempt to brush off the toxic behavior as if it is just a joke.

In the next verse, the singer describes a triggering scenario where the partner is exposed to unusual and uncomfortable stimuli. They are encouraged to hold their breath longer while the singer inserts more of their commands. The use of the word "結露" (condensation) further emphasizes the sense of suffocation they are experiencing. The song ends with the same determination to keep up the manipulation, dismissing it as a "harassment song". The lyrics portray the pain inflicted by toxic communication and the inability to break out of the cycle of abuse.
