The Unspoken Emotions in 'Hitorigoto' by ClariS

In 'Hitorigoto,' ClariS delves into the complexities of unspoken emotions and the struggles of expressing feelings. The song's title, which translates to 'Monologue,' sets the stage for a narrative filled with internal dialogue and unvoiced sentiments. The lyrics capture the frustration and longing of someone who finds it difficult to articulate their feelings for another person. This internal struggle is likened to a misaligned button, symbolizing the awkwardness and discomfort of unexpressed emotions.

The song's protagonist is constantly searching for the smile of the person they care about, even though they can't explain why. This search is a subconscious act, highlighting the depth of their feelings. The lyrics also touch on the bittersweet nature of these unspoken words, as the protagonist swallows their emotions along with a sigh, resulting in a 'bittersweet' taste. This metaphor beautifully captures the internal conflict between wanting to express their feelings and the fear of vulnerability.

ClariS uses vivid imagery to convey the protagonist's emotional state. The mention of a 'puzzle with a thousand pieces' represents the overwhelming choices and thoughts that cloud their mind. The protagonist's desire to be more straightforward and honest is evident, yet they find themselves unable to bridge the gap between their feelings and words. The song's recurring theme of searching for the other person's smile and feeling lonely when apart underscores the deep emotional connection and the yearning for reciprocation. Ultimately, 'Hitorigoto' is a poignant exploration of the silent battles we fight within ourselves when it comes to love and vulnerability.
