Kokoro No Mi

Indigo la End's song "Kokoro No Mi" delves into the complex emotions of love, loneliness, and introspection. The title, which translates to "The Fruit of the Heart," sets the stage for a lyrical exploration of the bittersweet nature of relationships. The song opens with the imagery of wiping away tears and reminiscing about past memories, suggesting a sense of longing and reflection. The mention of a shadow star and the interplay between 'you' and 'me' indicates a deep connection that is both haunting and beautiful.

The lyrics continue to explore the theme of unrequited love and the struggle to move on. The protagonist seems to be caught in a cycle of emotional turmoil, unable to fully let go of their feelings. The line "dare no me mo gomakasazu mo isso, koi o shinai tsunora senai ma ikka" translates to "without deceiving anyone's eyes, I won't fall in love, I won't be driven by it, oh well," highlighting a sense of resignation and acceptance of their solitary state. The act of humming love songs while walking down the street serves as a coping mechanism, a way to keep the memories alive without fully engaging with them.

The song also touches on the theme of jealousy and the pain of seeing someone you love with another. The imagery of a gas stove and the act of wiping it clean while thinking of the past lover adds a layer of domesticity and everyday life to the emotional landscape. The protagonist's struggle with their feelings is palpable, as they try to focus on the present but are constantly pulled back into the past. The final lines, "koi wa tsugai koi wa tsugai, kono mi shidai konomi shidai," which means "love is a pair, love is a pair, depending on this fruit, depending on this fruit," encapsulate the essence of the song: love is a shared experience, but it is also deeply personal and dependent on one's own heart.
