Shiikureta Haru, Kawarenu Haru

The song 'Shiikureta Haru, Kawarenu Haru' by the GazettE delves into themes of existential despair, identity crisis, and the search for redemption. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone drowning in sorrow and questioning their existence. The opening lines, 'Ame ni obore nagara toikakeru, atashi wa dougo na no?' (Drowning in the rain, I ask, what am I?), set the tone for a journey through emotional turmoil and self-doubt. The protagonist wonders if a heartless existence would bring more rewards, hinting at a deep sense of disillusionment with life and its inherent struggles.

The recurring phrase 'Tsunagareteta the reason for being' (The reason for being connected) suggests a longing for purpose and connection. However, the subsequent lines reveal a grim reality where the protagonist feels trapped and manipulated, as indicated by 'Moteasobareta karada no kizu kazoereba kunou to narite' (Counting the wounds on my manipulated body becomes agony). This imagery of physical and emotional scars underscores the pain and suffering endured, leading to a state of 'sorrowful dirty of me,' where the protagonist feels unworthy of love and redemption.

The chorus, with its repeated 'Sayonara rai rai' (Goodbye, goodbye), signifies a farewell to a painful existence. The plea for forgiveness and the hope for a better future, 'I'm say with love, good bye my d'etre saki yuku fukou dou ka yurushite' (I'm saying with love, goodbye my reason for being, please forgive my future misfortune), encapsulates the desire for liberation from suffering. The song's emotional depth and raw vulnerability resonate with listeners, reflecting the band's signature style of blending intense emotions with powerful musical compositions.
