Lost In Blue

Nightmare's song 'Lost In Blue' delves into the depths of existential despair and the struggle for self-identity. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where the protagonist feels utterly lost and disconnected. The opening lines, 'kono saki wa nanimo nai boku wo / waratta taiyou to semi no koe,' suggest a desolate future, with the mocking sun and the sound of cicadas symbolizing a world that continues to move forward, indifferent to the protagonist's suffering. This sets the stage for a narrative that explores themes of memory, loss, and the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent universe.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reflects on the past, noting how even the names of loved ones have faded from memory. The lines 'furi mukeba kakoha kieteite / aishita anohitono namaesae, nanimo omoi desenaiyo' highlight the pain of forgetting and the fear of being forgotten. This sense of erasure is compounded by the repeated desire to disappear, 'kietai kienai kietai zutto / itakute tsurakute demo kesenakute,' which underscores the internal conflict between the desire to escape pain and the inability to do so.

The song reaches a poignant climax with the lines 'mouiikai? mouiiyo arigatou sayounara / ano natsu no jibun he,' where the protagonist bids farewell to their past self, acknowledging the pain and struggle of that time. The final lines, 'mou ichido umarete / mata bokuni umarete / saiko no kao de waraunda,' suggest a glimmer of hope and the possibility of rebirth. Despite the overwhelming despair, there is a sense that the protagonist can find a way to smile again, perhaps even stronger and more resilient than before. 'Lost In Blue' is a haunting exploration of the human condition, capturing the delicate balance between despair and hope.
