Métamorphose
Ling Tosite Sigure Lyrics

"Metamorphose" by Ling Tosite Sigure is a song that explores the idea of transformation and finding one's true self amidst the chaos of life. The first verse talks about being tired of the constant pursuit of highs and the facade that people put on through posing and maximizing themselves. The lines "本当は誰が良い?" ("Who is really good?") suggest a sense of disillusionment with society and the pressure to conform to its expectations. The chorus reflects on the idea that if tomorrow the world were to end, neither the singer nor their lover would be around anymore, indicating the transience and unpredictability of life.

The second verse delves deeper into this idea of transformation and reveals that the singer has been holding back their true self, which has finally begun to emerge. The lines "剥がれ堕ちるUFOのターボチャージ" ("The turbo charge of the UFO that peels off and falls") signify a transformation from an old, stagnant self to a new, revitalized one. The chorus then talks about how both the singer and their lover would change if the world were to end, implying that the idea of transformation is linked to the concept of mortality.

The bridge reflects on the idea of finding one's true self and the potential for explosive change. The line "世界が破裂しそうになったら君を奪うから" ("If the world seems about to burst, I'll take you away") suggests that the singer will fight for their true self and their connection with their lover in the face of the chaos of the world. The final lines, "ミラクルノンフィクション メタモルノンフィクション" ("Miracle non-fiction, metamorphose non-fiction"), imply that this transformation is both real and surreal in nature.
