The Plight of Existence in 'S.I.U.' by Miku Hatsune
The song 'S.I.U.' performed by Miku Hatsune, a Vocaloid character, delves into themes of existential struggle and the randomness of life's circumstances. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is both endearing and tragic, stumbling through life's hardships that are likened to the stench of death. The song suggests a sense of resignation to the hand one is dealt, with references to being born into a predetermined role that may be unsatisfactory or disappointing.
The repeated phrase '最低の犠牲者に愛を' which translates to 'love for the worst victims' implies a compassion for those who suffer the most, perhaps due to the unfairness of their birth or social standing. The song seems to grapple with the idea that one's birth determines much of their life, and if one is not born fortunate, they are left with loneliness and powerlessness. This fatalistic view is contrasted with the chaotic and loud complaints of those who are dissatisfied with their lot, overflowing with resentment towards the wealthy.
The song's title 'S.I.U.' could be an acronym or a play on words, but without explicit context, it remains open to interpretation. The lyrics suggest a critique of societal structures and the human condition, questioning the value of life in a world where one's path is seemingly chosen by the draw of lots. Miku Hatsune, being a Vocaloid, adds an additional layer of irony to the song, as she herself is a creation without control over her existence, singing about the very human struggle for meaning and fairness.
