Mellow Mellow Lily

Fujisaki Toru's song 'Mellow Mellow Lily' delves into the intense and often unsettling emotions of unrequited love and obsession. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is deeply infatuated, to the point of being consumed by their feelings. The repeated phrases '大好きです' (I love you) and 'いつも見てます' (I'm always watching) highlight the protagonist's unwavering devotion and constant surveillance of the object of their affection. This obsessive behavior is further emphasized by the lines describing the collection of the beloved's discarded items and the willingness to endure rejection and disdain.

The song's narrative is filled with a sense of desperation and longing. The protagonist's desire to be close to their beloved, even if it means invading their personal space ('あなたの部屋に今日もお邪魔してしまいます'), showcases a lack of boundaries and an overwhelming need for connection. The lyrics also reveal a darker side to this obsession, with the protagonist expressing a willingness to be harmed or even killed by the beloved ('その手で殺してほしいよ'). This extreme sentiment underscores the unhealthy nature of their love, where the protagonist's sense of self-worth and purpose is entirely tied to their unreciprocated feelings.

'Mellow Mellow Lily' also explores the internal turmoil experienced by the protagonist. The conflicting emotions of love, desire, and frustration are palpable, as they struggle to contain their feelings ('感情が心がぐらぐら押さえられない'). The song captures the essence of an all-consuming passion that borders on madness, reflecting the darker aspects of human emotion and the lengths to which one might go in the name of love. Fujisaki Toru's haunting melody and evocative lyrics create a powerful and unsettling portrayal of obsessive love, making 'Mellow Mellow Lily' a poignant exploration of the complexities of the human heart.
