Misekake no Love Song

Indigo la End's song "Misekake no Love Song" delves into the complexities of love and the often deceptive nature of emotions. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship where the protagonist feels a sense of disillusionment and fear. The opening lines describe a bird pretending to fly, symbolizing a facade or a false sense of freedom. This imagery sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the protagonist reflects on moments that seemed sweet but were ultimately unsatisfying, like a birthday cake that wasn't as delicious as expected.

The recurring phrase "misekake no ai rabu yuu" (a deceptive 'I love you') highlights the central theme of the song. The protagonist is yearning for genuine emotions and is tired of whimsical, meaningless words. This longing for authenticity is further emphasized by the fear that these empty words bring. The protagonist's plea to see true feelings "ashita ni wa misete yo" (show me tomorrow) underscores a desire for a deeper connection and honesty in the relationship.

As the song progresses, the protagonist acknowledges the loneliness that lingers despite the presence of love. The mention of a headache from the morning and the tasteless tamagoyaki (Japanese omelette) made without tasting it reflects a sense of going through the motions without true engagement or satisfaction. The repeated lines "i rabu you, kowaku natta" (I love you, it became scary) encapsulate the fear and anxiety that come with realizing that the love they thought they had might just be an illusion. This song beautifully captures the bittersweet and often painful journey of seeking genuine love amidst a sea of pretense and fleeting emotions.
