Empty Girl

Buck-Tick's song 'Empty Girl' delves into the complexities of a character who appears to be superficial and emotionally detached. The lyrics paint a picture of a girl who is described as 'empty,' with a convenient mind and a broken heart, suggesting a person who is emotionally damaged yet adept at navigating social situations. The repeated question, 'do you have. How many boys?' implies a preoccupation with superficial relationships, further emphasizing her emotional emptiness and the transactional nature of her interactions.

The song also critiques the modern, fast-paced world where rumors spread like wildfire ('denkou seka no uwasa no pass') and people collect the hearts of others as if they were mere objects. The 'princess' who desires what she doesn't have represents a sense of entitlement and dissatisfaction. This character is contrasted with her ignorance about herself and her extensive knowledge about others, highlighting a lack of self-awareness and a tendency to meddle in other people's lives.

The term 'Flapper girl' evokes the image of the 1920s flapper, a symbol of rebellion and modernity, yet in this context, it seems to carry a negative connotation. The 'scandal beam' she emits from her mouth suggests that she spreads gossip and scandal, further alienating herself from genuine human connections. Buck-Tick uses this character to explore themes of emotional emptiness, superficiality, and the impact of modern societal values on personal relationships.
