The Struggles of Modern Love: A Cinderela's Tale
Deco*27's song "Cinderela (Giga First Night Remix)" delves into the complexities and frustrations of modern love. The lyrics express a sense of disillusionment with the concepts of love and romance, describing them as trivial and disappointing. The protagonist feels foolish and out of place, struggling with the fear of failure and the harsh realities of past experiences. This internal conflict is evident in lines like "愛とか恋とか全部くだらない" (Love and romance are all nonsense) and "失敗するのにビビってるだけ" (I'm just scared of failing).
The song also highlights the protagonist's desire to be loved and accepted, despite their insecurities. They yearn for guidance on how to navigate their emotions and relationships, as seen in the plea, "ちょっとこんな時どんな顔すればいいか教えてほしい" (Please tell me what kind of face I should make at times like this). The repeated use of the word "ジレったい" (frustrating) underscores the protagonist's impatience and irritation with their own shortcomings and the obstacles they face in love.
In the latter part of the song, the protagonist's transformation is symbolized by the metaphor of Cinderella. They express a desire to break free from their insecurities and embrace their true self, as indicated by the lines "だだだ大好きはもっと可愛くなって言いたいけど" (I want to say I love you more cutely) and "やっとサナギをぬいだシンデレラ" (Finally, the Cinderella who shed her chrysalis). This transformation represents a journey towards self-acceptance and the courage to pursue genuine connections, despite the fear of vulnerability.
