TWISTED HEARTS

Tasuku Hatanaka's song "TWISTED HEARTS" delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship, marked by emotional pain and a desperate search for redemption. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is fraught with misunderstandings and emotional turmoil. The opening lines, "ゆがめたことばにつまずいて / I can't fall asleep at night," set the tone for the song, highlighting the sleepless nights and the emotional weight carried by the protagonist. The repeated phrase "I don't feel your love / But I can give you love" underscores the one-sided nature of the relationship, where one person is willing to give love despite not feeling it in return.

The song also explores themes of entrapment and the desire for freedom. Lines like "にげられない take me away" and "Don't restrain your voice / Now I give you the choice" reflect a yearning to break free from the emotional chains that bind them. The use of metaphors such as "くらやみのこえがおしよせて / I can't find the reason why" and "ひかれてしまうこのかんけいに / I feel the strength of our ties" further emphasize the internal struggle and the inexplicable pull of the relationship.

Despite the darkness, there is a glimmer of hope and resilience. The repeated calls to "Free your soul" and "Free your mind" suggest a path to liberation and self-discovery. The protagonist's determination to "さけびつづける / scream aloud" and "いたみならのりこえていくよ / overcome the pain" signifies a journey towards healing and self-empowerment. The song concludes with a plea to "Save our twisted hearts," encapsulating the desire to mend the broken pieces and find solace in each other.
