Theater of Lies: A Journey Through Deception and Despair

Natori's song "Theater" delves into the complexities of human emotions, particularly focusing on themes of deception, despair, and the search for meaning in a seemingly endless cycle of lies. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life filled with emptiness and the struggle to find authenticity in a world that feels like a never-ending performance. The protagonist feels trapped, likening their existence to a piece of junk, with no escape route in sight.

The song's narrative suggests that life, when viewed from a distance, resembles a tragicomedy. The protagonist acknowledges the facade they maintain, feeding on lies to the point of starvation, and the irony of their situation is not lost on them. The recurring motif of a "never-ending nightmare" underscores the sense of entrapment and hopelessness. Despite this, there is a poignant beauty in the decay and corruption of their love, which brings them to tears. The imagery of love rotting like overripe fruit is both haunting and poetic, highlighting the destructive nature of insincere affection.

As the song progresses, the protagonist grapples with the futility of living according to others' expectations. They realize that the core of their being is tainted, and the promises made in haste soon fade away. The repetition of the phrase "until it becomes a secret, until it turns into a lie" emphasizes the inevitability of deception in their relationships. The final verses reveal the protagonist's ultimate breakdown, driven mad by the insincere love that has consumed them. The song concludes with a sense of resignation, as the protagonist acknowledges the theatrical nature of their existence and the lies that remain.
