Damn

Fujii Kaze's song "Damn" delves into the emotional complexities of unrequited love and the struggle to find happiness within oneself. The lyrics express a sense of surprise and disbelief at how deeply the narrator has fallen for someone, despite initially feeling indifferent or uninvolved. The repeated use of 'まさか' (masaka), which translates to 'no way' or 'unexpectedly,' emphasizes the shock at their own feelings.

The song's chorus reflects a gradual realization and acceptance of these emotions, as the narrator acknowledges their growing affection and the changes it brings to their life. The use of color imagery, asking what color happiness is, suggests a search for the essence of joy, which seems to have been forgotten amidst the emotional turmoil. The lyrics also convey a sense of resignation and the futility of trying to escape from the inevitable pull of these feelings.

Towards the end of the song, there is a shift in perspective. The narrator decides to embrace self-love and protection, indicating a journey towards healing and self-acceptance. The lines 'I love me, and I / Will keep him in a / Safest, fairest, happiest place baby' signify a commitment to prioritize their own well-being and happiness, even in the face of unreciprocated love. The song's title, 'Damn,' could be interpreted as an expletive expressing frustration, but also as a realization and a turning point towards self-empowerment.
