gou ni moyu

Sokoninaru's song 'gou ni moyu' delves deep into the human psyche, exploring themes of existential angst and the relentless pursuit of fulfillment. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the small joys and sorrows embedded in daily life, which paradoxically seem to erode their sense of self. The phrase '日々の間に埋められた小さな幸せが僕の体を今にも蝕んでいくんだ' (The small happiness buried in the days is now eroding my body) encapsulates this duality, where even moments of happiness contribute to a deeper sense of unease and discontent.

The song also touches on the insatiable nature of human desire, symbolized by the '盆百のリビドー' (hundred libidos) that cannot be quelled. This metaphor highlights the constant yearning for something more, something that remains perpetually out of reach. The lyrics '何を手にしても埋まらないひとつの渇きはきっと潤いを得られないのだろう' (The one thirst that cannot be quenched no matter what I hold) further emphasize this unending quest for satisfaction, suggesting that true fulfillment may be an elusive, perhaps unattainable, goal.

In the broader context, 'gou ni moyu' reflects a universal human experience—the struggle to find meaning and contentment in a world that often feels indifferent. The repeated lines '得られない得られない得られない行き場ない虚間の中' (Unattainable, unattainable, unattainable, in a void with no destination) underscore the sense of being lost and the perpetual search for something to believe in. Despite this, the song ends on a somewhat hopeful note, acknowledging that this very struggle is what keeps the protagonist alive, driving them to continue their journey.
