tsukihanasu ude ga tomadou

Nanimo kanjinakunatta... hitotsu futatsu kazoete otoshita kioku
Kuroku somatta hitotsubu no hai yurayura mata furitsumotte

The lyrics of "Aimai Na Mikaku" by Girugamesh explores the idea of uncertainty and ambiguity in emotions and communication, leading to confusion and the loss of connections with others. The first stanza describes the singer's hesitation and confusion in expressing their emotions, represented by their fingers trembling and their arm feeling disconnected. The second stanza paints a picture of the physical sensation of pain or discomfort that comes with repressing one's feelings. The singer then tries to distract themselves by counting and forgetting, but still feels the guilt of lying to themselves.
The chorus repeats the idea of confusion and vagueness in communication, with the use of hazy language, eyes, and lies that cause disconnection. The bridge reveals a longing for happiness and the possibility of finding it if it continues forever, but ends with the same motif of a weakened voice.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the difficulty of being honest with oneself and others, and the consequences that come with a lack of clarity and openness.
