瞬きも譲らない電飾
んー 散り散りと過ごした
四季折り返しもした

The lyrics of Iri's song "Matenrou" paint a vivid picture of a person being drawn to the transience and allure of skyscrapers. The dazzling lights of the city skyline captivate their attention, refusing to let them blink. The verses express a sense of aimlessness and passing seasons, as the singer navigates through life and confronts their own inadequacies. They yearn to cool down and occasionally find solace in the hidden complexities of their inner struggles. The lyrics also emphasize a desire to survive romantically in a world filled with uncertainties and challenges.
The chorus captures a feeling of urgency and restlessness, with the singer refusing to panic or settle, realizing that things are not yet finished or stained. They express a thirst that needs to be quenched and a longing for completion. The lyrics beautifully reconcile the concept of a maze within oneself, acknowledging its insufficiency and searching for fulfillment. The bridge introduces a mysterious and enticing invitation, as if urging the listener to come closer and be enticed by the taste of Scotch and the unraveling of their own heart. It suggests a rejection of conventional morals and an embrace of wanderlust, laughter, and tears. Finally, the closing line, "Everybody say hello," suggests a desire for connection and acknowledgment in a world that could otherwise be isolating.
