Scramble

Horie Yui's 'Scramble,' performed with Unscandal, is a vivid portrayal of the whirlwind of emotions that come with unspoken feelings and the struggle to communicate them. The song's lyrics express a sense of overwhelming emotion that the protagonist finds difficult to convey. The repeated phrase 'Guru Guru Mawaru' (spinning around) symbolizes the cyclical nature of these feelings, as they continuously swirl within her, creating a sense of dizziness and confusion. This metaphor of spinning reflects the internal chaos and the desire to break free from the emotional turmoil.

The lyrics also highlight the distance between the protagonist and the person she wishes to communicate with. Despite being physically close, there is an emotional chasm that feels insurmountable. The imagery of the sky, with its vastness and continuity, serves as a metaphor for this distance. While the protagonist sees a clear, blue sky, she fears that the other person perceives it as cloudy, indicating a difference in their emotional states and perspectives. This contrast underscores the difficulty in bridging the gap between their feelings and understanding.

The song's chorus, with its repetitive and rhythmic 'Guru Guru Mawaru,' emphasizes the protagonist's longing to connect and the frustration of being unable to do so. The desire to 'jump into your chest' signifies a yearning for closeness and intimacy, while the feeling of floating alone on a cloud represents isolation and the inability to ground herself in reality. 'Scramble' captures the essence of unspoken emotions, the struggle to communicate, and the longing for connection, all wrapped in a whirlwind of feelings that are both relatable and poignant.
