Reisei na risei shikai zero no bigaku yue no ai iki wo koroshite
tozasu kokoro jijitsu ga sasu BARANSU wo kuzushi hane mogareta kako
hijou na wake damaru taido kireta ito tsutai sai wo korogasu
jijitsu ni soi modoru kotae doko ni tazunereba mitsukerareru

maichiru rasen no hakanasa subete ga kowakute
samayotte umareta kotae wo mune ni kizanda
moshi dareka no kimi de aru koto ni furue

maichiru rasen no hakanasa subete ga kowakute
samayotte umareta kotae wo mune ni kizanda

sayonara kizukanu furishite sora wo nagameta

Overall Meaning

"Kagerou" by Sadie is a song that is full of emotions, both heavy and distressing. The lyrics are primarily in Japanese and require a close look to unravel their meaning. The song is about the internal struggle and balance between emotions and rationality. It showcases the complex nature of human thought process when dealing with situations and emotions.


The opening lines of the song talk about how rationality and emotions are at odds with each other, and sometimes to make sense of it all, one needs to suppress their emotions. The next lines talk about how this suppression affects the balance between the two resulting in an unsteady balance. Often, people have questions that they seek answers to life, but there are no clear destinations for them to seek. Unresolved emotions, such as the ones discussed in this song, can impact one's life, making life feel transient.


The lyrics of the song convey the sense of loss and aimlessness that people often feel when they are lost in their thoughts. The song talks about how the singer is lost, and they do not know where they are going. The lyrics suggest feelings of emptiness and hopelessness. A person can have everything but still feel like they are missing something vital in their life. The song conveys these emotions excellently through its melancholic and soulful soundtrack.
