Found & Lost

Survive Said The Prophet's song 'Found & Lost' delves into the complexities of human emotions and the unpredictable nature of fate. The lyrics, a mix of Japanese and English, reflect a journey filled with uncertainty, introspection, and the search for meaning. The opening lines, 'かかってこいよと叫んだって / そう思っていない時もあってしまうんでしょ,' suggest a struggle between outward bravado and inner doubt, a common human experience when facing life's challenges.

The recurring theme of fate is central to the song. The lines 'Fate somehow brings me hope inside my heart' and 'Fate somehow gives me the reason' highlight a paradoxical relationship with destiny. Despite the hardships and the feeling of being 'far away from home,' there is an underlying sense of hope and purpose that fate provides. This duality is further emphasized in the chorus, where the singer acknowledges the emotional rollercoaster of anger, laughter, and tears, yet finds solace in the hope that fate brings.

The imagery of 'darkness falls in time' and 'streets aligned' paints a picture of a journey through a metaphorical night, where the path is unclear and the destination forgotten. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for life's unpredictable journey, where the search for answers often leads to more questions. The repetition of '見つかってなくして / わからないままで' (found and lost / still not understanding) encapsulates the essence of the human condition—constantly searching, losing, and finding meaning in the chaos of existence. Through this song, Survive Said The Prophet captures the bittersweet nature of life's journey, where hope and despair coexist, and fate remains an enigmatic guide.
