OveR

Miyu Tomita's song 'OveR' delves into the depths of human emotion, exploring themes of despair, perseverance, and the quest for meaning. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relentless struggle, where the protagonist faces continuous setbacks and an ever-elusive sense of fulfillment. The repeated imagery of waking up only to find that nothing has changed, and the sense of things disappearing one by one, evokes a feeling of existential dread and the futility of effort in the face of an indifferent world.

The song also touches on the idea of sacrifice and the lengths one is willing to go for the sake of a loved one. The lines '唯一の望み 以外 何も惜しくはないの' (I have nothing to lose except my only hope) and '優しすぎるあなたのためなら 何度でも捧げましょう' (For your gentle sake, I will sacrifice again and again) highlight a deep, almost self-destructive devotion. This devotion is contrasted with the cold, mechanical acceptance of reality, as seen in 'まるで何者なかったように確実に受け入れるの' (I accept it as if nothing ever existed).

The narrative also explores the concept of choice and the consequences of those choices. The protagonist grapples with the idea of a predetermined fate versus the power to change one's destiny. The journey described in the lyrics is one of seeking the shortest path to salvation, while also acknowledging the pain and mistakes that have been made along the way. The final lines, '物語の始まり この手で終わらせるの 勝つのはあなた それとも私' (I will end the story with my own hands. Will you win, or will I?), encapsulate the ultimate confrontation and the desire to take control of one's narrative, even if it means facing an uncertain outcome.
