White room

Nightmare's song 'White Room' delves into the complexities of human emotions, relationships, and the passage of time. The opening line, 'Do you love me?' sets the stage for a deep introspection about love and its transient nature. The lyrics, written in Japanese, explore themes of loss, change, and the struggle to hold onto what is dear. The singer reflects on the absence of things they wish to lose, emphasizing the importance of everything they hold dear and their efforts to protect it. This creates a sense of dizziness in their heart, a metaphor for the overwhelming emotions they experience.

The song continues to explore the shifting consciousness and the rusting memories that the singer clings to. The repeated interactions and words exchanged with a significant other begin to change, leading to a sense of disorientation. The singer questions whether happiness lies in maintaining the status quo or in embracing change. This internal conflict is further highlighted by the nostalgic echoes of a familiar song, which brings back distant memories and the realization that things have changed irreversibly.

As the song progresses, the singer contemplates ending everything, feeling the time that has been smoldering begin to unravel. The distorted love and the missed connections add to the sense of melancholy. The imagery of tears not yet ready to be shed and the hope for a future filled with light suggest a desire for healing and moving forward. The 'white room' and the 'spiral karma' symbolize a place of entrapment and cyclical patterns that the singer wishes to escape. The song concludes with a plea for their voice to become a vessel, carrying them towards a new beginning, even as they wonder what their significant other might think of the changed landscape and their own transformation.
