Life

Rude-α's song 'Life' delves into the intricate and often tumultuous journey of existence. The lyrics reflect a sense of confusion and urgency, as the artist grapples with the uncertainties of life. The opening lines, 'Maybe I don't know what to do / Hurry up, my mind is on the Moon,' set the tone for a narrative that oscillates between moments of introspection and bursts of emotional intensity. The imagery of the mind being on the Moon suggests a feeling of being detached or lost, looking down at the world from a distance, trying to make sense of it all.

The song transitions into a mix of Japanese and English lyrics, adding layers of cultural and emotional depth. Phrases like 'te no hira ni afureteku jounetsy ga me wa samasu' (the passion overflowing in my palm wakes me up) and 'kokoro ni ya wo hanatareta shunkan' (the moment an arrow was shot into my heart) evoke vivid emotions and metaphors. These lines suggest a moment of awakening or realization, where the protagonist's heart is pierced by a sudden, profound understanding. The recurring theme of searching for meaning and clarity is evident as the artist questions, 'If I don't try, I'll never know,' emphasizing the importance of effort and exploration in life's journey.

The chorus, 'Tell me why I just shout into the sky / But you are now no longer here, that's right,' captures a poignant sense of loss and longing. The repeated references to the Moon, stars, and the night sky symbolize a quest for answers and a connection to something greater. The song also touches on themes of resilience and hope, as seen in lines like 'kizu darake no kyou kara sukuidasu yo' (I'll save you from the scarred today). Despite the struggles and scars, there is a determination to find and rescue what is valuable and meaningful. 'Life' by Rude-α is a powerful exploration of the human condition, filled with emotional highs and lows, and a relentless pursuit of understanding and purpose.
