Maboroshisasupensu

My First Story's song 'Maboroshisasupensu' delves into the ephemeral nature of human connections and the intense emotions that accompany them. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a night filled with fleeting moments and transient relationships. The repeated invitations to dance and drink together suggest a desire to escape reality and immerse oneself in the present, even if just for a short while. The protagonist seeks a reason for the other person's presence, hinting at a deeper longing for understanding and connection amidst the chaos of the night.

The chorus reveals a struggle with unresolved feelings and the inability to move past a shared history. The lines 'You can’t get over to my heart' and 'You can’t get over what we had' highlight the lingering impact of a past relationship. Despite the protagonist's attempts to move on, there is a sense of being trapped in a cycle of trying and failing to let go. The Japanese verses add another layer of complexity, expressing the fragility of emotions and the inevitable staining of love. The imagery of falling into a dream and the eventual drying of tears suggests a bittersweet acceptance of the impermanence of these intense feelings.

The song's bridge introduces a dialogue that underscores the tension between wanting to stay and the impossibility of doing so. The lines 'I’m not the only one, but I want to stay here' and 'I’m not the only one, but you can’t leave me' reflect a mutual recognition of the transient nature of their connection, yet an unwillingness to part ways. This push and pull dynamic encapsulates the essence of 'Maboroshisasupensu'—a dance of fleeting emotions, where the night offers a temporary escape from reality, but the dawn brings the inevitable return to solitude.
