Flicker (feat. RANASOL)

Andora's song 'Flicker (feat. RANASOL)' delves into the depths of unrequited love and the emotional turmoil that accompanies it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the pain of loving someone who does not reciprocate their feelings. The song opens with a reflection on the capriciousness of fate, suggesting that the whims of the gods can be cruel. The protagonist feels insignificant, believing that their disappearance would not alter the world in any way, yet they are still haunted by the beauty of the blue sky, a metaphor for the lingering hope and beauty in life despite their suffering.

The song explores themes of self-worth and the difficulty of loving oneself. The protagonist questions who can love someone who cannot love themselves, indicating a deep sense of self-doubt and insecurity. This introspection leads to a desire to escape from the harsh truths of reality, seeking solace in the memories of their beloved. The flickering light, or 'kaname,' symbolizes the fragile hope and comfort they find in clinging to these memories, even as they acknowledge the futility of their prayers for everything to end.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's struggle with time and healing becomes evident. They question the notion that time heals all wounds, suggesting that this is a lie. The dimly lit room represents their inner darkness, which mirrors their emotional state. Despite the coldness creeping in, the flame of their love for the other person remains unextinguished. The repeated attempts to confirm the final words of their beloved highlight their desperation for closure and understanding. Ultimately, the protagonist finds a semblance of peace in the idea of being enveloped by light, holding onto the memories and living with them, even if it means carrying the weight of unrequited love forever.
