Mienai mono o miyou to suru gokai subete gokai da

Buck-Tick's song "Mienai mono o miyou to suru gokai subete gokai da" delves into the complex interplay between reality and illusion, truth and madness. The title itself, which translates to "Trying to See the Invisible Misunderstandings, All Misunderstandings," sets the stage for a lyrical exploration of the human condition. The song opens with an invitation to escape into the sky, hand in hand, suggesting a desire to break free from the constraints of reality and enter a dreamlike state. This imagery of flight and freedom contrasts sharply with the recurring theme of entrapment, as seen in the metaphor of the caged bird.

The lyrics repeatedly express a yearning to know the truth, but this quest leads to madness for both the singer and the subject. The lines "shinjitsu ga shiritai ore wa kurui hajimeru" (I want to know the truth, I start to go mad) and "shinjitsu o shiritai kimi ga kurui hajimeru" (You want to know the truth, you start to go mad) highlight the perilous nature of seeking absolute truth. The song suggests that truth is not only elusive but also potentially destructive, driving individuals to the brink of insanity. This theme is further emphasized by the notion that truth cannot be seen or understood from within the confines of one's current reality.

Musically, Buck-Tick is known for their dark, gothic rock style, which complements the song's themes of existential angst and psychological turmoil. The band's use of haunting melodies and atmospheric instrumentation creates a sense of unease, mirroring the lyrical content. The song ultimately serves as a poignant commentary on the human desire for understanding and the inherent dangers of delving too deeply into the unknown.
