Incoherents

Közi's song 'Incoherents' is a surreal journey through a landscape of fragmented thoughts and dreamlike imagery. The lyrics, a mix of French and Japanese, create a disorienting yet captivating experience that reflects the song's title. The repeated phrase 'je ne sais pas où c'est' (I don't know where it is) underscores a sense of confusion and dislocation, setting the tone for the entire piece. This phrase, along with other French expressions like 'incroyable' (incredible) and 'oh la la! tiens! c'est étonnant' (oh la la! look! it's surprising), adds to the whimsical and unpredictable nature of the song.

The song's narrative seems to unfold in a series of bizarre and theatrical scenes. References to a 'bourgeois butoukai' (bourgeois ball) and 'dinaa wa hebi no furukoosu' (dinner is snake's full course) paint a picture of an extravagant yet unsettling world. The imagery of 'migime ni katame kagami no shinshi' (a gentleman with a monocle in his right eye) and 'hidari me ni chokkaidasu' (a direct gaze in his left eye) further enhances the surreal atmosphere. These elements suggest a critique of societal norms and the absurdity of high society, wrapped in a cloak of fantastical storytelling.

Musically, Közi is known for his eclectic style, blending elements of rock, electronic, and classical music. This eclecticism is mirrored in the song's structure and lyrical content, which defy conventional narrative forms. The lines 'utai ha ne o dorii de yo gekijou ni' (the song is a doll in the theater) and 'yume no idea ga shizuka ni kamoshi dasareta' (the idea of a dream quietly emerged) evoke a sense of performance and illusion, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. The song's closing lines, 'ca c'est l'histoire' (this is the story), leave the listener with a sense of unresolved mystery, inviting multiple interpretations and reflections on the nature of reality and illusion.
