delusionalism

The song "delusionalism" by Mass of the Fermenting Dregs delves into themes of disillusionment and existential contemplation. The lyrics paint a picture of a world where familiar scenes and memories begin to lose their significance, suggesting a sense of detachment and disorientation. The phrase "どうなっていいよ" (It doesn't matter) reflects a resignation to the unfolding events, indicating a surrender to the chaos and unpredictability of life.

The lines "触る意味もないし" (There's no point in touching) and "合わす意味もないし" (There's no point in matching) further emphasize a sense of futility and meaninglessness. The protagonist seems to be grappling with the idea that their actions and connections hold no real value, leading to a state of regret and introspection. The mention of "後悔を背に追え" (Chase after regret) suggests a burden of past mistakes and the struggle to move forward despite them.

The chorus, with its repetition of "嫌う笑う拾う" (Hate, laugh, pick up), highlights the conflicting emotions and the battle against idealism. The phrase "理想に負け" (Defeated by ideals) underscores the tension between reality and the unattainable standards set by oneself or society. The song concludes with a sense of indifference and a plea for escape, as seen in "興味はない" (I have no interest) and "どっか行ってよ" (Go somewhere). This final sentiment encapsulates the overarching theme of disillusionment and the desire to break free from the constraints of a disenchanted existence.
