Colorful

Sawai Miku's song 'Colorful' delves into the tumultuous and vibrant emotions of young love and self-discovery. The lyrics paint a picture of a protagonist caught in a whirlwind of feelings, symbolized by the recurring imagery of a merry-go-round. This metaphor captures the dizzying and ever-changing nature of her emotions as she navigates her feelings for someone special. The merry-go-round represents the cyclical and sometimes overwhelming experience of falling in love, where the scenery and emotions are constantly shifting.

The song also explores the protagonist's internal conflict and vulnerability. Lines like '好き嫌い嫌い好き繰り返す' (repeating like-dislike-dislike-like) highlight the confusion and indecision that often accompany young love. The protagonist is unsure of how to express her feelings, as seen in '毒々しくて体中を巡る巡る気持ちまだ言葉にできなくて' (poisonous feelings circulating through my body, still unable to put them into words). This struggle to articulate her emotions adds a layer of depth to the song, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced the complexities of love.

Cultural references to anime and the digital world ('リアル？それとも二次元' - real or two-dimensional) add another dimension to the song, reflecting the modern context in which young people often find themselves. The protagonist's desire to be noticed and understood ('少しずつ色付いてくあたしを見て ねえ気づいてほしいよ' - watch me gradually become colorful, I want you to notice) speaks to a universal longing for connection and recognition. The song beautifully captures the essence of youthful love, with its highs and lows, uncertainties, and the hope for mutual understanding and affection.
