Misty Mauve
Masayuki Suzuki Lyrics

The lyrics to Masayuki Suzuki's song Misty Mauve depict the struggle of a man who is trying to move on from a past relationship but is unable to. The first few lines of the lyrics describe the man sitting quietly in front of the television, and the blue light from it adds to the overall aura of loneliness and isolation that he feels. The man then observes a woman, who is his former lover, painting her nails with misty mauve nail polish. The misty mauve color symbolizes sadness and longing, and its presence in the song emphasizes the theme of nostalgia and the difficulty of letting go of past memories.

The song also explores the man's inner struggle as he tries to pretend like he is carefree and unattached. He has said multiple goodbyes in his mind, and he is trying to move on from the relationship. However, he is unable to do so, as he thinks about her whenever he is alone. He is tormented by the fact that he is unable to forget her, and the line "Baby, what can I do?" reflects his desperation and vulnerability. The song further explores the fact that moving on from any past relationship is rarely easy and straightforward, and the feeling of being stuck in the past can be overwhelming and all-consuming.
