Lost My Music

Hatsune Miku's 'Lost My Music' is a poignant exploration of longing and the emotional turmoil that comes with being separated from a loved one. The song opens with the protagonist gazing at the starry sky, seeking guidance from the light, and wondering where their beloved is and who they are with. This sets the tone for a narrative filled with a deep sense of yearning and loneliness.

The lyrics delve into the bittersweet memories of shared experiences, such as watching a movie together, which now feel hollow when experienced alone. The chorus reveals the depth of the protagonist's feelings, expressing how the distance makes them want to cry and how they hold onto the hope that tomorrow might bring new possibilities. The repeated phrase 'I still I still I love you!' underscores the enduring nature of their love, despite the separation.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the protagonist is grappling with the reality of broken promises and the pain of unfulfilled expectations. The line 'Anata no kotoba niwa sukoshi uso ga atta' (There was a little lie in your words) hints at a betrayal or a promise that was not kept, adding another layer of emotional complexity. Despite this, the protagonist continues to search for their beloved, even in their dreams, and clings to the hope of a reunion, as reflected in the hopeful yet uncertain question, 'Mata aeru yone? Ne!!' (We'll meet again, right? Right!!).

'Lost My Music' captures the essence of love's endurance in the face of separation and the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies it. The song's blend of hope, despair, and unwavering affection resonates deeply, making it a relatable anthem for anyone who has experienced the pain of being apart from someone they love.
