Lost and Found (ロストエンファウンド)

The song 'Lost and Found (ロストエンファウンド)' by Leo/need delves into the themes of self-discovery, connection, and the emotional turmoil of feeling lost. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist who is grappling with the complexities of their emotions and relationships. The opening lines, 'もう、いいかい / ぼくはたずねるけど / そもそもきみはこのゲームをしらないんだ,' suggest a sense of confusion and a search for understanding, as if the protagonist is questioning their place in a game they don't fully comprehend.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reflects on their courage and the possibility of facing themselves and their emotions head-on. The lines 'もう一歩 / すすむゆうきがあれば / きがねなくきみじしんとここでむきあえたのかな' highlight the internal struggle of taking that extra step towards self-awareness and honesty. The mention of a 'きずだらけのくうかんせかい' or a 'scarred empty world' that gains color through the voice of another person signifies the transformative power of connection and understanding.

The chorus, with its poignant lines 'あいたくてあいしたくて / はなしたくてはなれてしまうのが / こわくてししをほうりだした,' captures the fear of losing someone dear and the pain of separation. The protagonist's journey is marked by moments of hiding and revealing their true self, as seen in 'かくれていたのはほんとうにきみだったのか / ぼくもゲームがはじまるずっとずっとまえから / きれいごとにまぎれてほんとうのかおかくして / いたんじゃないのか.' Ultimately, the song conveys a message of hope and determination, urging the listener to 'はしりだせはしりだすんだ' or 'run forward,' embracing the rediscovery of lost connections and the courage to face one's true self.
