prologue
TAMIYA TERASHIMA / J.D.K. ELECTRIC ORCHESTRA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She was being retrospective
Using it as a form of reflection to tell me that she wished she had calculated less and Made more mistakes
She had learnt to deal with the stress because she knew she had what it takes to fake Faking it so good that she actually believed that she made it
She said, I misplaced my marks of beauty because of course I had to be perfect According to my so-called societal duties
Never realizing that consistently swallowing all of that bullshit made me lose focus of What's actually important. My vision, to show the world that I am and always been, a Black woman and proud
But I, I just keep going round, and around and around and around in circles
Wondering, who am I?




Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "Prologue" speak about the struggles that a Black woman faces in society. The woman in the song reflects on her past and realizes that she focused too much on being perfect and calculating every move she made, rather than making mistakes and learning from them. She admits that she became adept at faking it and even convinced herself that she had made it. However, she gradually lost herself in all the societal expectations and eventually lost sight of what really mattered to her; which was to be a proud Black woman.


Throughout the song, the woman seems to be lost and unable to find her true identity. She feels like she's trapped in an endless cycle of trying to fit the mold of societal expectations, without realizing that she's losing herself in the process. This is evident in the lyrics, "But I, I just keep going round, and around and around and around in circles, wondering, who am I?"


The lyrics in "Prologue" are relatable to many people who struggle with their identity and the pressure to conform to societal norms. The song sheds light on the struggles that Black women face and the impact that societal expectations can have on an individual's self-esteem and their sense of purpose.
