The Cry of a Disillusioned Artist in 'Cyberpunk Deadboy'
The song 'サイバーパンクデッドボーイ (Cyberpunk Deadboy)' by Maiki, performed by Project Sekai in this version, is a poignant critique of the modern music industry and the struggles of artists within it. The lyrics express frustration with the superficiality of music consumption and the pressure to conform to popular trends. The repeated phrase '意味わかんねぇ' which translates to 'I don't understand the meaning,' underscores the artist's confusion and disillusionment with the current state of music where substance seems to be overshadowed by style.
The song delves into the idea that music has become more about fashion and virality than about genuine expression and connection. The reference to 'バズメロディー' or 'buzz melody' suggests a disdain for songs that are designed to go viral rather than convey a deeper message. The artist is calling for a return to authenticity, urging fellow musicians not to lose sight of the true purpose of their art. The lyrics challenge the listener to question what has become of the music they truly wanted to create before it was tainted by the desire for fame and money.
The narrative of 'Cyberpunk Deadboy' is a call to action for artists to awaken and not be defeated by the industry's demands. It's a reminder that there is something more meaningful to convey through music than just catchy punchlines and viral hooks. The song is a rallying cry for creative integrity and a reminder to stay true to one's artistic vision amidst the noise of the industry.
