Aishite Aishite Aishite
Miree
The Cursed Craving for Love
The song "Aishite Aishite Aishite" by Miree, which translates to "Love Me, Love Me, Love Me" in English, delves into the dark and obsessive nature of a desire for love and acceptance. The lyrics tell the story of a cursed necklace that symbolizes an insatiable need for affection and validation. The necklace, representing the protagonist's emotional state, cries out for someone to come to it, to not abandon it, and to love it endlessly. This metaphor suggests a deep-seated fear of loneliness and a desperate plea for attention.
The song's protagonist questions their own worth, asking if they are cool, good, or pretty, highlighting the insecurities that drive their need for love. The repeated requests to be loved more and more, to the point of suffering, illustrate an unhealthy relationship with love, where the desire for it becomes a painful obsession. The lyrics also touch on the competitive nature of seeking validation, as the protagonist wants to be the best and most adored in their class, seeking to be the center of everyone's attention.
The narrative takes a turn when the protagonist confesses to someone they claim to like, despite actually hating and despising them. This contradiction reveals the complexity of their emotions and the toxic cycle they are trapped in. They are willing to give everything for love, even if it means enduring pain, and they are not satisfied with just one person's affection. The song ends with a haunting question about the nature of happiness, suggesting that the protagonist's understanding of love and happiness is distorted by their curse.
