Ceramic Star

Lolita23Q's 'Ceramic Star' is a poetic exploration of dreams, self-belief, and the struggle between positivity and negativity. The song opens with a sense of longing and pursuit, as the narrator continues to chase their desires but finds it difficult to grasp what is truly important. This sentiment is encapsulated in the line 'akogare wo oi tsuzukete / daiji na mono tada itsu / me no mae tsukame nain da,' which translates to 'continuing to chase my longing / the important things are always / just out of reach.' The imagery of wandering through the night suggests a journey filled with uncertainty and adaptation.

The chorus, 'LISTEN TO MY MEMORIES / I REMEMBER HEAVENLY,' serves as a powerful reminder to hold onto cherished memories and the essence of one's true self. Despite being engulfed by the endless night sky, the narrator expresses a desire to scream and break free, symbolizing a fight against overwhelming odds. The mention of 'PURASUCHIKKU na hoshikuzu' (plastic stardust) and 'SERAMIKKU na mangetsu' (ceramic full moon) highlights the fragility and artificiality of certain dreams, which can easily shatter under pressure.

As the song progresses, it delves into the fear of judgment and the struggle to maintain genuine happiness. The lines 'mawari no kaoiro ni obie / sabake dasu koto ni obie' reflect the anxiety of being influenced by others' opinions and the difficulty of breaking free from these constraints. However, the song also emphasizes the beauty of a true smile and the importance of self-acceptance. The final verses encourage the listener to embrace their vulnerabilities and continue moving forward, even through darkness, towards their own unique sky. The promise to oneself, 'PROMISE YOU,' signifies a commitment to personal growth and the pursuit of one's dreams, no matter how challenging the journey may be.
