Zenzen Ki Ni Shitenai Kara Boku No Koto Wa Ki Ni Shinaide

Oresama's song "Zenzen Ki Ni Shitenai Kara Boku No Koto Wa Ki Ni Shinaide" delves into the complex emotions of unrequited love and the facade of indifference. The repeated phrase "boku wa zenzen ki ni shitenai kara" (I don't care at all) is a clear indication of the protagonist's attempt to mask their true feelings. Despite the insistence that they are unaffected, the sighs and the underlying tone of the lyrics reveal a different story. This contradiction between words and emotions is a central theme, highlighting the struggle to maintain composure in the face of emotional turmoil.

The song narrates the protagonist's experience of saying goodbye to someone they deeply care about, who has chosen another person. The line "daisuki na kare to tsuini sayonara wo shita kedo" (I finally said goodbye to the one I love) captures the heartache of this farewell. However, the protagonist tries to find solace in the fact that they can still remain friends, even though this friendship is a constant reminder of their unfulfilled desires. The mention of a "sankaku kankei" (love triangle) adds another layer of complexity, as the protagonist is painfully aware of their position in this dynamic.

The repeated reassurance to the other person not to worry about them, "boku no koto wa ki ni shinai de," serves as a defense mechanism. It is a way for the protagonist to protect themselves from further emotional pain while also trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody contrast with the melancholic lyrics, creating a poignant juxtaposition that enhances the emotional impact. Oresama's unique blend of electronic pop and heartfelt storytelling makes this song a relatable and moving exploration of unrequited love and the masks we wear to hide our true feelings.
