1. Silent Siren (サイレントサイレン), known as SaiSai by fans, is a Japanese girl band formed in the summer of 2010 by four 'reader models' (読者モデル, dokusha model), Yoshida Sumire "Suu", Yamauchi Aina "Ainyan", Umemura Hinako "Hinanchu" and Sogawa Ayana "Yana" from the Japanese fashion magazine CUTiE. They have been preforming at live venues ever since, and released their first mini-album "SaiSai" on 8th February 2011 under the label 'Brand-New Music'.

目的地は決まってるのに
真っ直ぐには歩けなくて
過去と未来天秤にかけて
突きつけられた揺るがない今
ぶれる街灯滲む満月

誰も分かってくんないの
誰も分かろうとしてくんないの

ちぎれそうな程に叫んでるのに

誰も涙すくってくんないの
誰も涙流してくんないの
こんなにも訴えてるのに
1人でもこの檻から抜け出して
今すぐに走り出すから

残酷なこと待ち受けてても
目をそらさないって決めたから
大丈夫だからねってあやす声が
どこかできっと嗤っているの
消える残像霞む満月

誰も信じてくんないの
誰も信じられなくなったの
ちぎれそうな程に叫んでるのに

誰も守ってくんないの
誰も守ろうとしてくんないの
こんなにも訴えてるのに
1人でも掴まれた手振りほどいて
今すぐに走り出すから

赤く染まってゆく世界を
誰かが決めつけた正解を
自分を押し殺してまで受け入れるの

誰も分かってくんないの
誰も分かろうとしてくんないの
ちぎれそうな程に叫んでるのに

誰も涙すくってくんないの
誰も涙流してくんないの
こんなにも訴えてるのに

1人でもこの檻から抜け出して
今すぐに走り出すから

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Silent Siren's "Escape" describe the overwhelming feeling of being trapped and unable to move forward towards one's destination. The singer feels as though they are unable to walk a straight path towards their goals due to the weight of their past and future constantly pulling them in different directions. They feel their present, however, is unshakeable and certain. The imagery of the hazy streetlights and blurry full moon suggest a dream-like, uncertain state.

The second verse speaks to the singer's sense of isolation and frustration at feeling unheard and unhelped by others. Despite shouting until their voice is hoarse, no one hears or understands their struggles. The refrain "I'm crying out so much, but no one is catching my tears" reinforces this feeling of being alone.

Despite the challenges and potential difficulties that may lie ahead, the singer is determined to keep their focus on their destination and move forward. They refuse to be deterred by any obstacles, and instead embrace the harshness of reality. The singer speaks of a voice that reassures them that everything will be okay, but there is an awareness that it may be a false comfort. The final lines emphasize the singer's strong determination to break out of the cage they feel trapped in and start running towards their goal, no matter how alone they must do it.
