Umareta imi nado nakatta

Mafumafu's song 'Umareta imi nado nakatta' delves deep into the existential angst and the search for meaning in life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life discarded and undervalued, symbolized by the imagery of being thrown away in a thick paper box. This metaphor suggests a sense of worthlessness and abandonment, questioning the inherent value of life itself. The bustling crowd at the bus stop, indifferent to the discarded life, further emphasizes the theme of societal neglect and the feeling of being unseen and unheard.

The song continues to explore the futility of trying to find purpose. The lines 'Nanimono ni mo nareru inochi de / Sukueru mono hitotsu mo nai no da' reflect a profound sense of helplessness. Despite having the potential to become anything, the narrator feels incapable of saving or achieving anything meaningful. This sentiment is echoed in the repeated questioning of the purpose of their existence, 'Umareta imi nado nai no ka?' The use of 'Unknown Unknown' highlights the uncertainty and confusion surrounding their identity and future.

Mafumafu's poignant lyrics also touch on the inevitability of facing life's harsh realities. The repeated phrase 'Ikinakucha' (I have to live) underscores the necessity of continuing to live despite the lack of clear purpose or direction. The song captures the essence of existential dread, the struggle to find meaning, and the resilience required to keep moving forward in a seemingly indifferent world. Mafumafu's unique vocal style and emotive delivery further amplify the song's emotional impact, making it a powerful reflection on the human condition.
