Myself

The song 'Myself' by Changin' My Life delves into the complexities of love, loss, and self-discovery. The lyrics are a poignant reflection on the narrator's deep affection for someone and the emotional turmoil that accompanies it. The repeated question, 'どうして どうして すきなんだろう' (Why, why do I love you so much?), underscores the narrator's confusion and the overwhelming nature of their feelings. This line sets the tone for the entire song, highlighting the struggle to understand the depth of their emotions.

The song also explores themes of loneliness and the search for a place of belonging. The narrator reminisces about a time when they had too much to lose and couldn't express themselves ('あのころは うしなうものがおおすぎて なにもうたえなかった'). This sense of loss and the need for a safe space is a recurring theme, as the narrator finds solace in a place slightly removed from their current reality. The lyrics suggest that both the narrator and the person they love share a similar sense of loneliness, which brings them closer together ('ふたり にてるのかな').

As the song progresses, the narrator reflects on the support they received from their loved one and the realization of its importance only after being separated ('いままでなにがささえだったか とおくはなれてわかったよ'). The imagery of searching like a lost child ('なきながらさがしつづけた まいごのこどものように') conveys a sense of desperation and the futile search for something eternal. The song concludes with the narrator's struggle to let go of their memories, as the more they try to forget, the larger the presence of their loved one becomes ('わすれよう」っておもえばおもうほど きみがおおきくなってくよ'). This poignant ending encapsulates the enduring impact of love and the difficulty of moving on.
