Trickstar

Nightmare's song 'Trickstar' delves into the darker aspects of human desire and the consequences of succumbing to one's deepest, often destructive, urges. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where time and reality blur, leading to a chaotic and almost surreal experience. The opening lines suggest a willingness to break everything apart, driven by a scent so intoxicating that it melts the heart. This metaphorical scent represents an irresistible temptation that leads the protagonist into a state of vulnerability and emotional turmoil.

The recurring theme of 'falling into the worst' and 'scattering for desire' highlights the cyclical nature of giving in to these dark desires. The imagery of a mouse running in a wheel suggests a sense of entrapment and futility, where the protagonist is caught in an endless loop of pain and longing. The lyrics also touch on the idea of transformation, where everything, including the protagonist's own body, becomes monstrous and grotesque. This transformation is not just physical but also emotional, as the protagonist laughs at their own countless tears, indicating a deep sense of despair and resignation.

The song also explores the concept of forgetting and being forgotten. The protagonist imagines a future where they are forgotten by everyone, who then smile 'happily.' This notion of being erased from memory adds another layer of melancholy to the song, as it suggests that the protagonist's existence and struggles are ultimately meaningless. The use of the word 'shiawase' (happiness) in a sarcastic tone further emphasizes the hollow and unattainable nature of true happiness for the protagonist. 'Trickstar' is a haunting exploration of the destructive power of desire and the emotional wreckage it leaves behind.
