かくいうもの
MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
また、昨日と同じズレが
今日から先のわたしに合図をしている
でも、また、聞こえないふりで
繰り返す 間違った正解
胸が痛むのなら、こちらへ来て、して、いいよ
そこから見える景色はどう？
淡い？青い？ひどいだけ？
なんてことない わたしのことも
褪せた先はもうないの
The Japanese song かくいうもの by Mass of the Fermenting Dregs, features lyrics that offer an introspective view of the struggles one faces when trying to find their place amidst the noise of society. The opening line states "In the midst of people, people, and more people making noise, I receive the same signals as yesterday and I wonder if I will keep receiving them in days to come." This suggests a sense of alienation and feeling lost amidst the people and noise that the singer finds themselves in. The repetition of the wrong answer, despite knowing that it is incorrect, captures the feeling of being stuck in a loop, unable to break out of an uncomfortable situation or circumstance.
The song, however, brings a sense of hope and encouragement by stating, "If your heart is hurting, you can come to me, it's okay." This line speaks of kindness and empathy, with the singer offering support to someone in need. The final lines of the song, "There's nowhere to go after fading away," could suggest the concept of finding oneself once again, without the constraints of societal expectations.
Overall, Mass of the Fermenting Dregs's かくいうもの is a contemplative and powerful song that offers insight into the struggles of finding one's place in society amidst the noise and chaos.
