Breaking Free from Societal Chains: The Essence of '捨てたらいい (sutetaraii)' by DURDN
DURDN's song '捨てたらいい (sutetaraii)' is a powerful anthem about liberation and the rejection of societal constraints. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a night in the city, filled with the pressures and expectations that come with modern life. The artist uses metaphors like 'city night' and '舞い上がる中に浮かぶ三泥' to illustrate the chaotic and often overwhelming nature of urban existence. The recurring theme of sleeplessness ('眠れない眠らない') further emphasizes the constant state of unrest and anxiety that many people experience.
The song's chorus, '捨てたらいい,' which translates to 'You should throw it away,' serves as a mantra for shedding the burdens that weigh us down. DURDN encourages listeners to let go of societal norms, obligations, and even the truth if it means finding peace and freedom. The lines 'しがらみも常識も約束も 俺らを縛ってるものは一つ' suggest that all these constraints are essentially the same—they bind us and prevent us from living authentically. By advocating for the abandonment of these pressures, the artist promotes a life led by one's own feelings and desires ('思うがままに感じたままに').
The song also touches on the idea of '優しい嘘' or 'kind lies,' suggesting that sometimes ignorance can be bliss. DURDN implies that not knowing certain harsh truths can be more comforting and less burdensome. This notion is encapsulated in the lines '知らない方がいい 真実だったら知らないまま 優し嘘なら.' The artist seems to advocate for a balance between truth and comfort, urging listeners to discard what is too heavy to carry, whether it's societal expectations or harsh realities. Ultimately, '捨てたらいい' is a call to prioritize personal well-being and emotional freedom over societal approval and rigid norms.
