Meisai

Sadie's song 'Meisai' delves deep into the themes of pain, solitude, and the fleeting nature of life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of emotional turmoil and existential reflection. The opening lines suggest a transient phase, where the passage of time might lead to mutual forgetfulness. This sets the stage for a narrative that oscillates between moments of clarity and confusion, as the protagonist grapples with the harsh realities of life.

The recurring imagery of deep wounds and thorns symbolizes the profound emotional scars that the protagonist carries. These wounds are not just physical but also metaphorical, representing the deep-seated pain and sorrow that define their existence. The plea for more pain and sadness reflects a self-destructive tendency, a desire to feel something, anything, in the face of overwhelming numbness. This self-inflicted suffering is a cry for help, a desperate attempt to find meaning in a seemingly indifferent world.

The song also touches on the theme of isolation. The protagonist's struggle with loneliness is palpable, as they navigate through a world that feels increasingly disconnected. The mention of 'indefinable-evanescent life' underscores the ephemeral nature of existence, highlighting the fleeting moments of connection and the inevitable descent into solitude. The repeated question, 'Can my voice reach you?' echoes the universal human desire for understanding and connection, even in the face of insurmountable odds.

'泣いて泣いた白日に何を見つめ何を叫ぶ' (Crying and crying, what do you see and what do you scream at in the broad daylight?) captures the essence of the song's emotional core. It speaks to the raw, unfiltered emotions that surface when one is stripped of all pretenses. The rain imagery further amplifies the sense of melancholy, as the protagonist stands helpless, unable to change their circumstances. The song's conclusion, with the protagonist bidding farewell, signifies a poignant acceptance of their fate, a resignation to the inevitable passage of time and the loss that comes with it.
