Accident

The song 'Accident' by My First Story delves into the tumultuous journey of life, filled with uncertainties, decisions, and the relentless pursuit of success. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of navigating through a 'pitch-black darkness' and 'half-transparent' illusions, symbolizing the confusion and challenges one faces. The protagonist seems to be in a state of introspection, wanting to reflect on their future despite the wounds and wetness of their heart, indicating emotional turmoil and the scars of past experiences.

The chorus, with its repetitive 'I wanna see right now,' emphasizes a sense of urgency and a desire for clarity amidst the chaos. The lines 'ふこうかこうのけっていは / 1/2じゃない' (The decision of happiness or misfortune is not a 50/50 chance) suggest that life is not merely a game of luck but requires decisive actions. The phrases 'せいこうは？ハイファイブ / しっぱいは？グッドバイ' (Success? High five / Failure? Goodbye) highlight a binary perspective on outcomes, where success is celebrated, and failure is dismissed.

The song also touches on the deceptive nature of the world, with 'ほろにがかったわなと / あまずっぱいうそばっか' (bitter traps and sweet lies). This reflects a cynical view of the world, where the protagonist is wary of deceit and prefers to remain ignorant of such harsh realities. The declaration 'I don’t give a shit right now' signifies a rebellious attitude, choosing to focus on their dreams and aspirations instead. The final lines, 'This is my world / And I keep on winning,' encapsulate a sense of empowerment and determination to succeed despite the odds, embracing an 'all-in' mentality.

The song 'Accident' is a powerful anthem of resilience, self-determination, and the relentless pursuit of one's goals, regardless of the obstacles and uncertainties that life throws in the way.
