The Illusion of Desire: Unpacking Dadaroma's 'Sex!'

Dadaroma's song 'Sex!' delves into the complexities of human desire and the facades people wear to navigate social interactions. The lyrics juxtapose the primal urges of animals with the calculated behaviors of humans, suggesting that despite our intelligence, we are driven by similar base instincts. The repeated references to 'kashikoi' (wise) animals—dogs, cats, and humans—highlight how each species hides its true nature to survive or thrive. For instance, the 'wise dog' doesn't bark but smiles, and the 'wise cat' learns tricks, while the 'wise human' is straightforward about their greed.

The chorus, with its blunt repetition of 'What do you want? Sex! What do you aim? Sex!' underscores the raw, unfiltered nature of human desire. The phrase 'All thing is lie. From the first' suggests a cynical view of social interactions, implying that much of what we present to the world is a facade. The comparison to 'reading a picture book' implies that these interactions are simplistic and perhaps even childish, masking the true, more complex nature of our desires.
