Are You Kidding Me (feat. Mami)

PSYQUI's song 'Are You Kidding Me (feat. Mami)' delves into the themes of disillusionment and emotional liberation. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that is fraught with deception and superficiality, as indicated by phrases like 'uso-darake no true love' (a love full of lies). The recurring motif of falling 'down to the gray' suggests a descent into a state of emotional numbness and ambiguity, where the protagonist feels trapped in a love that lacks authenticity and depth.

The song's chorus, with lines like 'What do you wanna do? dou demo ii yo' (What do you want to do? I don't care), reflects a sense of apathy and resignation. The protagonist seems to have reached a point where they no longer care about the outcome of the relationship, indicating a profound sense of disillusionment. The repeated questioning of 'Are you kidding me?' underscores the incredulity and frustration felt towards the insincerity and emptiness of the relationship.

In the bridge, the lyrics 'Say aishite how kudannai / Or you hold me? iranai wa' (Say you love me, how ridiculous / Or you hold me? I don't need it) highlight the protagonist's rejection of hollow expressions of love and physical affection that lack genuine emotional connection. The desire for liberation is further emphasized with 'Let me breathe, let me breathe / What is love, love, love is over,' signifying a yearning to break free from the suffocating confines of a meaningless relationship. The song ultimately conveys a powerful message about the importance of authenticity and the courage to walk away from relationships that do not serve one's emotional well-being.
