Hikitakute mo Tashitakute mo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Yeti's song "Picasso" showcase a deep yearning for expression and understanding, while acknowledging the limitations and frustrations that come with it. The recurring phrases of "Hikitakute mo Tashitakute mo Mienakute mo Wasuretakute mo" show a desire to express oneself even if it may be difficult, even if it may not be seen, and even if it may be forgotten. The verses also confront the reality of not being able to fully convey what one wants to say or do, with lines like "Nosetai no ni Ochita mama Kakitai no ni Kakenai no ni" expressing the inability to bring one's ideas or visions to life.


The chorus then repeats these phrases before delving into more concrete descriptions of colors and sensations, adding a layer of complexity to the emotions being expressed. The final lines of the chorus, "Tsutau nagai ito Hodoku totan Itami to kashita Modosu katei Wake mo naku oshiete," suggest that there is pain and difficulty in this process of expression, yet there is also a desire to learn and to come back to it again and again.


Overall, "Picasso" is a poignant and introspective meditation on the challenges and rewards of artistic expression.

Philosophy and theory, aiming for materialistic happiness, is an emotional outbreak where I want to spit out feelings that do not leave a single one behind, as I stand on the scale of the entire universe and affirm that there is no problem at all.


Mashite ya bigaku to kankaku no suriawase Datte hitotsu mo nokorazu hakidashitai kanjou desu Soshite me no mae kara tsuizui ni egaita kara 「Boku mo ningen da。」 -tte iwashite
The combination of aesthetics and senses, not leaving a single feeling behind that I want to spit out, is because I drew it in front of me, and said, 'I'm also human.'
