Loneliness in the Vastness of Space: The Emotional Journey of 'Freesia'

Daisuke Ishiwatari's song 'Freesia' delves into the profound sense of loneliness and existential crisis experienced by the protagonist, despite being surrounded by material wealth and technological advancements. The setting of the song in a 'space base' serves as a metaphor for isolation and the vast emptiness that can exist even in the most advanced and resource-rich environments. The repeated phrase 'This is space base, can you hear me' underscores a desperate plea for connection and understanding, highlighting the protagonist's internal struggle.

The lyrics emphasize the dichotomy between external success and internal emptiness. The protagonist mentions having everything—information, resources, and material wealth—yet feels an acute sense of lacking. This is poignantly expressed in lines like 'Wearing a fine suit, paying by a credit card, but I cannot prove myself.' The material possessions and societal status symbols fail to provide a sense of self-worth or fulfillment, indicating a deeper, unaddressed emotional need.

The recurring apologies ('sorry sorry sorry') reflect a sense of guilt or inadequacy, possibly stemming from the protagonist's inability to find meaning or satisfaction in their achievements. The mention of 'Freesia'—a flower often associated with innocence and thoughtfulness—could symbolize a lost or unattainable purity or connection. The protagonist's yearning for 'her' and the realization that 'without her, I'm not here' suggests that true fulfillment and identity are tied to personal relationships and emotional bonds, rather than material success or societal approval.

The song's exploration of loneliness, identity, and the search for meaning in a technologically advanced but emotionally barren world resonates deeply, making 'Freesia' a poignant reflection on the human condition.
