超人 (choujin)

Betcover's song '超人 (choujin)' delves into the complexities of modern life, capturing the essence of human struggle and the pursuit of authenticity amidst chaos. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the fast-paced, often overwhelming nature of their surroundings. The imagery of 'descending waterfalls' and 'crabs in the summer' evokes a sense of being swept away by forces beyond one's control, while the 'shoes that are about to fall off' symbolize the precariousness of maintaining one's footing in such a turbulent environment.

The song also touches on the emotional toll of this struggle. The lines 'scared but doing reckless things and increasing wounds' and 'I don't want to lie and feel empty' highlight the internal conflict between the desire to be true to oneself and the pressures to conform or take risks. This is further emphasized by the recurring theme of being left behind, as seen in the lines 'you hurry and leave even your shadow behind, leaving me behind.' The urban sky, described as 'brave and warm,' serves as a metaphor for the resilience and comfort found in the midst of adversity.

In the latter part of the song, there's a shift towards a more introspective and hopeful tone. The lyrics 'you stop the sound and become earnest plants, leaning on the future' suggest a return to simplicity and a focus on genuine growth. This transformation from chaos to calm reflects the artist's message that despite the challenges and noise of life, there is a path to authenticity and inner peace. Betcover's unique blend of poetic imagery and emotional depth makes '超人 (choujin)' a compelling exploration of the human condition.
