Fatima

Itou Kanako's song 'Fatima' delves into the complexities of existence, reality, and the human experience. The lyrics paint a picture of a world where reality is a mere projection, constantly overwritten by an unchanging universe. The song speaks to the idea of a 'god' who remains unseen, continuing to control at high speeds, suggesting a critique of an omnipotent force that governs without being perceived. This sets the stage for the protagonist's resolve to be a unique, miraculous minority, standing against the overwhelming control of this unseen deity.

The chorus, 'I can fly high,' symbolizes a sense of liberation and transcendence. It suggests that if a moment or scene holds special significance for someone, the past isn't something that merely fades away. Instead, it becomes a part of one's identity, with all its pains and cherished memories. The line 'There is no god' reinforces the idea of breaking free from traditional constraints and embracing a 'Wonderful new world,' a place where new beginnings are possible, and the past doesn't dictate the future.

The song also touches on the paradoxes and dualities of life, such as the accidental nature of existence and the emotional algorithms that govern human behavior. The protagonist's suffering and flaws are seen as part of a larger algorithm, suggesting a deterministic view of life. Yet, there's a sense of hope and resilience, as the protagonist vows never to abandon the clear memories of love and connection. The recurring theme of 'zero' symbolizes a fresh start, a blank slate where new possibilities can emerge. The song ultimately celebrates the idea of a new world, free from the constraints of an unseen god, where one can soar to new heights and embrace the unknown.
