Michi Naru Hou E

Shinsei Kamattechan's song 'Michi Naru Hou E' delves into the complexities of human emotions and the journey towards self-discovery. The lyrics reflect a struggle with maintaining a facade of happiness while grappling with inner turmoil. The repeated phrase 'narubeku tanoshii furi wo suru sa' (I pretend to be as happy as possible) highlights the universal tendency to mask true feelings to avoid vulnerability. This act of pretending is a defense mechanism against the loneliness and sadness that the singer feels when they realize no one is around to support them in their moments of despair.

The song also touches on the desire to be authentic and show one's true self to someone special. The line 'kimi ni wa misetai sugao ga aru to omoimasu' (I think I want to show you my true face) signifies a longing for genuine connection and acceptance. This desire is juxtaposed with the fear of causing harm or being hurt, as indicated by 'yuuutsu ni naru to kizutsuketari shiteshimau koto wo' (when I become depressed, I end up hurting others). The internal conflict between wanting to be real and the fear of negative consequences is a central theme in the song.

The repeated declaration 'dekakeru you ni narimashita' (I started to go out) symbolizes a step towards change and exploration. The final lines, 'michinaru hou e ikimashita' (I went towards the unknown), encapsulate the essence of the song—a journey into uncharted territories, both externally and within oneself. This journey represents a courageous move towards embracing the unknown and finding one's true path, despite the uncertainties and challenges that lie ahead.
