Kubitsuri Rondo
MERRY Lyrics

The lyrics to MERRY's song Kubitsuri Rondo express feelings of confusion, emptiness, and a desire for escape. The opening lines describe a feeling of having lost oneself and being unable to see clearly in one's own mind. The references to London and Paris suggest a desire for escape to glamorous, exotic locations. The chorus repeats the phrase "dai-ato kubi-tsuri wo shiyou," which translates to "let's hang ourselves outside," suggesting a desire to escape from the burdens of everyday life.

Throughout the song, the lyrics describe a dream-like state, where the world around the singer feels like a fleeting world of illusion, represented by the metaphor of a comforting merry-go-round that disappears in an instant. The repeated question "doko ni butsukereba ii?" or "where should I hit (to escape)?" suggests a feeling of being trapped and unable to find a way out. However, the final line "furi-kaereba dare mo inai... sakebi-goe" or "when I turn around, there's no one there... except my screaming voice," suggests that ultimately the singer is the only person who can save themselves.
