Garando (feat. Hatsune Miku)
Picon
The Chaotic Dance of Modern Loneliness
“Garando (feat. Hatsune Miku)” by VOCALOID is a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts, encapsulated in a chaotic yet captivating lyrical structure. The song delves into the feelings of confusion, loneliness, and the search for meaning in a seemingly nonsensical world. The repetitive phrases and nonsensical words like “ぼびで ばびでん べっでぼん” create a sense of disorientation, reflecting the mental state of someone lost in the chaos of modern life.
The lyrics paint a picture of a person grappling with their thoughts and emotions, feeling disconnected from reality. Phrases like “ひからびた のうみそ” (dried-up brain) and “ふらふらの のうみそ” (dizzy brain) suggest a state of mental exhaustion and confusion. The recurring question “これでいいのか?” (Is this okay?) highlights the existential doubt and the search for purpose amidst the absurdity of everyday life.
The song also touches on themes of loneliness and isolation, as seen in the lines “ロンリー? ローニン? モーニング? ソーリー?” (Lonely? Ronin? Morning? Sorry?). The use of the word “Ronin” (a samurai without a master) metaphorically represents a sense of being unanchored and directionless. The imagery of “ダンシング イン ザ ルーム ナンバー 10884” (Dancing in the room number 10884) evokes a sense of being trapped in a repetitive, meaningless routine, yet trying to find moments of joy or escape within it.
Overall, “Garando” is a reflection of the fragmented and often overwhelming experience of modern life, where individuals struggle to find coherence and meaning amidst the chaos. The collaboration with Hatsune Miku, a virtual singer, adds another layer of complexity, blurring the lines between reality and virtuality, and emphasizing the theme of disconnection in the digital age.
