The Collective Responsibility: A Chaotic Dance of Denial and Defiance

Masarada's song '責任集合体 (sekinin shu gattai)' delves into the themes of denial, defiance, and collective responsibility. The lyrics paint a picture of a chaotic world where individuals refuse to acknowledge their actions or the consequences thereof. The repeated phrases 'おれは しらない なにも しらない' (I don't know anything) and '何も みてない 誰も みてない' (I haven't seen anything, no one has seen anything) emphasize a collective ignorance and a refusal to take responsibility. This denial is further highlighted by the surreal imagery of a rabbit on a broken moon, suggesting a disconnection from reality.

The song's chorus, with its exclamations of '最悪だ!' (It's the worst!) and '最高だ!' (It's the best!), captures the contradictory nature of human behavior. The lyrics oscillate between condemning societal norms and celebrating reckless abandon. The lines '公序良俗を剥いで脱いで踊れ!!' (Strip off public morals and dance!!) and '愚行奇行で結構 勝手に生きたれ!' (It's fine to live recklessly and eccentrically) reflect a desire to break free from societal constraints and embrace a hedonistic lifestyle.

The song also touches on the concept of collective responsibility, or rather, the lack thereof. The repeated phrase '責任集合体' (collective responsibility) suggests that when everyone is responsible, no one truly is. This is reinforced by the lines 'アンタもワタシも関係ない' (You and I have nothing to do with it) and '楽しくやってりゃ無問題' (If we're having fun, there's no problem). The song ultimately portrays a society where individuals shirk responsibility, live for the moment, and find solace in collective denial.
