3-bun 29-byō

Hitorie's song '3-bun 29-byō' delves into the ephemeral nature of life and the futility of certain human endeavors. The lyrics paint a picture of a world where pleas and wishes go unanswered, symbolized by a flower that is trampled and ignored. This imagery suggests a sense of helplessness and the inevitability of being overlooked or forgotten, no matter how much one tries to change their fate.

The song also explores the theme of unfulfilled potential and the inability to see a clear future. The 'crystalline lens' that fails to reflect the future represents a lack of clarity and direction. Despite the efforts to protect oneself ('防寒している' - 'protecting against the cold'), there is a sense of resignation and acceptance of the mundane and repetitive nature of life. The narrator observes others who pretend not to see the harsh realities, highlighting a shared human experience of denial and avoidance.

In the chorus, the song reflects on the shared human condition, where everyone ultimately engages in the same futile actions until the end. The lyrics suggest a collective resignation to the meaningless routines and the 'absurd play' of life. The mention of '哀憎' (sorrow and hatred) and 'グレーゾーン' (gray zone) further emphasizes the emotional turmoil and moral ambiguity that people navigate. The song concludes with a call to end the days of merely contemplating and being blown by the winds of cowardice, urging a break from the cycle of inaction and denial.
