すべて見る (kyururucyan)
Dennou Himeca
Navigating Fame and Identity in the Digital Age
Dennou Himeca's song "すべて見る (kyururucyan)" delves into the complexities of modern digital culture, particularly focusing on the pursuit of online fame and the impact it has on personal identity. The lyrics are a vivid portrayal of the fast-paced, ever-changing world of social media, where trends come and go rapidly, and the pressure to stay relevant is immense. The repeated phrases like "ninki kyūjōshōchū" (popularity skyrocketing) and "for you page" highlight the constant need for validation and the desire to be seen and acknowledged in the digital space.
The song also touches on the emotional rollercoaster that comes with this digital lifestyle. Lines like "komarucchau anken kiri nai" (endless troublesome issues) and "raigetsu ni wa sutareru hayari nara" (trends that will fade by next month) reflect the anxiety and stress of keeping up with the latest trends. The use of metaphors such as "ringuraito utsuru hitomi wa akogarete iru" (eyes reflecting the ring light are full of longing) poignantly captures the yearning for recognition and the superficial nature of online interactions.
Moreover, Dennou Himeca addresses the duality of being a "yūmei na ippanjin" (famous ordinary person), a paradox that many social media influencers experience. The song questions the authenticity of online personas with lines like "sore wa dare desu ka?" (who is that?), suggesting a disconnect between one's true self and their digital representation. The lyrics also critique the superficiality of online validation, as seen in "itsuwari demo homeraretara watashi wa shiawase" (even if it's fake, if I'm praised, I'm happy), highlighting the fragile nature of self-worth in the age of social media.
